Indicated for class A fire fighting in paper, rubber, tire, textile, cotton, plastic, mining, and coal storage industries, among others
Can be used in equipment with or without air aspiration
Compatible with dry chemical powder

São Paulo, May 2023 – Kidde launches Sintex Class A – foam-generating liquid – composed of hydrocarbon surfactants and free of fluorine. It was developed specifically to meet the ABNT NBR 16963: 2022 standard, which is specific for fighting class A fires – solid materials – such as paper, rubber, fabric, wood, among others.

“Foam-generating liquids (FGL) are used for extinguishing fires. However, many are unaware that one of the most efficient and effective ways to put out a fire is through cooling, which occurs with the mixture of water and FGL and not just with the use of water,” explains Nathalia Bueno, Product Marketing Specialist for the Carrier Fire & Security fire line. In such cases, Nathalia adds, “the product should be applied through conventional solid jet and mist nozzles. The solution quickly penetrates the combustible material, allowing the cooling properties of water to control the fire more effectively.”

If there is a need for isolation or protection against exposure, a special compressed air foam generation system (CAFS) is triggered, transforming the foam solution from Sintex A into a thick foam blanket with slow drainage that adheres to vertical surfaces. The foam blanket creates an insulation against conductive heat, while the bright white color reflects radiant heat.

Being a completely versatile product, Sintex Class A can be used in equipment with or without air aspiration, in proportioning and balanced pressure systems, diaphragm tanks, line proportioners, “Around-the-Pump” type proportioners, and nozzles with reducers.

It is available in polyethylene drums of 20 and 50 liters, in polyethylene barrels with 200 liters, and in 1,000-liter containers. One of its major advantages is that the product remains stable for up to 15 years, requiring only adherence to the established storage conditions.

How Should It Be Maintained? For better safety, the product should be stored in its original packaging or in specially constructed tanks for this purpose. It is important that storage tanks are equipped with pressure and vacuum valves and that a layer of AP-40 inhibitor is applied to the surface of the FGL to avoid contact with air and evaporation of the product.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Lula’s government changes rule in important benefit and thousands of Brazilians will no longer receive it; see what has changed.

Roraima bets on the sun to escape high tariffs: Amid the energy crisis and price hikes, solar energy is growing in Roraima and transforming consumption in the North region.

Scientists want to turn internet cables into sensors to listen for tremors on the Moon, and the plan could permanently change how the Artemis missions will explore, map risks, and protect astronauts on the lunar surface.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Researchers discover a possible hydrogen deposit of up to 46 million tons beneath an ancient coal basin, and the volume could exceed half of the entire global production.

While the world looks at oil, the war with Iran is already disrupting helium supply from Qatar, affecting car and iPhone chips, threatening AI expansion, and putting pressure on aluminum packaging at the highest value in four years.

Global warming will expose a treasure hidden under the ice of Antarctica and may spark an international dispute over gold and valuable minerals.

The Argentine government celebrates the lowest poverty rate in 7 years, but experts warn that the methodology has changed, real wages have fallen, unemployment has risen, and the number of people on the streets of Buenos Aires has increased by 57% since Milei took office.

A street vendor from Praia Grande built a robot made of scrap from scooters and washing machines that pulls his popcorn cart on the beach, emits sounds, and interacts with customers, becoming an attraction on the coast of São Paulo.

The specifications of the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max have been leaked, and the highlight is a dual 200 MP camera with a new 22-nanometer technology that promises to consume less energy and capture details in shadows and bright areas using LOFIC HDR.

If the trip to the Moon were a hoax, it would be necessary to keep the secret among 400,000 people for more than 50 years and to deceive even the Soviet Union, which was tracking the radio signals coming from the exact direction of the satellite during each Apollo mission.
