Established in 1896, NFPA's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.
A concentration of airborne contaminants, normally expressed in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per cubic meter, that represents the maximum level from which one could escape within 30 minutes without any escape-impairing symptoms or irreversible health effects.
Industry:Fire safety
A concentrated liquid foaming agent as received from the manufacturer.
Industry:Fire safety
A concentrated aqueous solution of one or more hydrocarbon and/or fluorochemical surfactants that forms a foam capable of producing a vapor-suppressing, aqueous film on the surface of hydrocarbon fuels.
Industry:Fire safety
A concentrate, usually derived from hydrocarbon surfactants, used in specially designed equipment to produce foams having foam-to-solution volume ratios of 20:1 to approximately 1000:1.
Industry:Fire safety
A concentrate very similar to protein-foam concentrate but with a synthetic fluorinated surfactant additive.
Industry:Fire safety
A concentrate used for fighting fires on water-soluble materials and other fuels destructive to regular, AFFF, or FFFP foams, as well as for fires involving hydrocarbons.
Industry:Fire safety
A concentrate that uses fluorinated surfactants to produce a fluid aqueous film for suppressing hydrocarbon fuel vapors. This type of foam also utilizes a protein base plus stabilizing additives and inhibitors.
Industry:Fire safety
A concentrate that uses fluorinated surfactants to produce a fluid aqueous film for suppressing hydrocarbon fuel vapors.
Industry:Fire safety
A concentrate consisting primarily of products from a protein hydrolysate, plus stabilizing additives and inhibitors to protect against freezing, to prevent corrosion of equipment and containers, to resist bacterial decomposition, to control viscosity, and otherwise to ensure readiness for use under emergency conditions.
Industry:Fire safety
A concentrate based on hydrocarbon surface active agents and listed as a wetting agent, foaming agent, or both.
