C6 Based Firefighting Foams Offer Reliable, Effective, Efficient Performance to Protect Lives and Fight the Toughest Flammable Liquid Fires 

High-Hazard Class B fires present a significant fire risk and require the highest performing products.

Class B fires present a significant risk and require special management. Such fires involve flammable liquids and are different from fires involving Class A fuels such as vegetation, wood or paper. Flammable liquids include gasoline, kerosene, petroleum greases, tars, oils, oil-based paints, solvents, lacquers, or alcohols. According to the most recent fire statistics from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)1, an average of 37,000 fires occurred at industrial and manufacturing properties just in the U.S. with over $1 billion in direct property damage. And this does not even include incidents handled by private fire brigades or fixed suppression systems. While not all of these fires are class B fires, these statistics provide a sense of the devastating impact such fires can have.
