and C fires. These also come in various sizes and range with discharge time 10-25 seconds.
Types of Fires
Fires are of different types which have to be effectively and efficiently controlled as well as to prevent re-
combustion which causes more damage.
Class A: Solid combustibles like wood, paper, embers, rubbers and plastics
Class B: Liquid combustibles like diesel, oils, kerosene, and benzene
Class C: Gaseous combustibles like propane, butane, natural gas, acetylene, and methane
Class F: Animal fat and vegetable oils like dripping lard, rapeseed, palm, peanut, sunflower and coconut
oil
Class D: Metallic combustibles like aluminum, titanium
All fires can be classified under some class of a fire and it has to be extinguished by using the right fire
extinguisher. A wrong fire extinguisher will create havoc
Fires cause great damage to property and the environment. Heat, fuel, oxygen and a chain reaction are
present, a fire happens. The only way to extinguish a fire is to remove one of these factors and the fire
ceases. Prevento® is one such additive that can be added to any fire extinguisher and can be used on
different combustibles. Prevento® is an extinguishing agent which is a combination of Super Absorb
Polymer gelling agent. Prevento® is a product developed and manufactured by Febbex, Germany.

3. Application of Prevento®, Fire Extinguisher Additive
Home and Building Fires
Prevento® can be used with traditional extinguishers for Class A, B and C fires. When used at home, it
minimizes the losses by stopping the fire from spreading. It can be used in deep fryer fires in the kitchen,
engine fires in boats and automobiles and transformers,
Forest Fires
A burning cigarette, a campfire or a bolt of lightning that strikes the ground may cause a forest fire. The
fire spreads rapidly when the forest is dry and worsens when a wind is blowing which spreads the fire in
all directions. The forest fire causes tremendous loss. Most of the time enough water is not available to
douse the fire which is used with or without a foaming agent. Up on cooling, the extreme heat and wind
can ignite the area again.
Adding Prevento®, combats the extreme forest fires efficiently, which saves the natural forests as well as
reduces loss of property and in some cases life too. Whether you are trying to fight the forest fire
terrestrially or aerial, simply add Prevento® to effectively control and extinguish the forest fire. Prevento®
can be
• sprayed from the air
• applied to normal fire extinguishers
• applied outside hazardous zones
Benefits of Using Prevento® Forest
• creates an almost impregnable coating
• retains hot and inflammable gases/vapors
• creates a cooling surface
• prevents re-ignition
• uses 20 times less water
• readily bio-degradable
• non-toxic
Military Fires
Vehicle tire on US military vehicles catch fire very often, this is one of the biggest hazard faced by military
personnel. The fire on the tires of transportation vehicle or armored personnel carriers in difficult
terrain/environment is known to generate unmanageable fires with intense heat. The fire can burn for
hours, which slow down the movement of the military convoy and causes material damage too.
Prevento® can effectively extinguish the tire fires rapidly and stop re-ignition as it has a cooling effect on
the tires and extinguishes the intense fires. The spraying appliance, Dekamax® is made of stainless steel
and has a capacity of 2.64 gallons. The use of the special Pyro Nozzle which is made of stainless steel
and attached to a long hose makes it easy to reach and extinguish the fire that is inside the tire.

Product Information (ifoam®®, Dekamax®®, Pentamax®®)
Fires are the biggest cause of losses to a business. Paper, wood, plastic and oil industries are at a higher
risk of catching fire as these materials are highly inflammable. Fire extinguishers are used to extinguish
this fire which may re-ignite once the extinguisher water evaporates. This causes further damage.
Febbex Germany has developed an innovative fire extinguisher additive ifoam®. This gel-foaming agent
is mixed with water in low concentrations to form a foam which adheres to smooth surfaces giving a
chilling effect. Febbex offers Dekamax® and Pentamax®, the spraying appliances which have a sturdy
design, easy to refill and requires minimal maintenance.
Selecting the fire extinguisher
Selecting the proper fire extinguisher is most important at the residence or at the commercial property.
Fire protection is our responsibility. Fires are divided into different classes based on the type of fires.
Every fire extinguisher has a rating as per the amount of fire it can extinguish. Simply adding the foaming
gel, ifoam® enhances the fire fighting properties of the fire extinguisher.
Types of Fires which can be handled with ifoam®
Class A fires are fires of ordinary material like wood, paper, cardboard, plastics and elastomers like
rubber, cardboard
Class B fires are fires of diesel, petrol, engine oils, kerosene, hydraulic oils, transformer oils and thermo-
oils
What is ifoam® and its ingredients

10. Ifoam® is a gel-foaming agent which, when added to water in different concentration forms low, medium
or high-expansion foam. According to DIN 1568-3, its extinguishing performance level is 1A. ifoam®
consists of biopolymers, thickner, super absorber and highly concentrated foam additives.
How does ifoam® work?
• The thickening agent in ifoam® slows down the drain off time of water from the foam by 25 times
by slowing down the separation time as compared to regular foam
• The tensides compounds with the biological thickening agent create small, stable and even
bubbles, which gives the ifoam® bubbles a longer resistance against mechanical and thermal
impacts
• As the bubbles formed by ifoam® are smaller, the flammable vapors and gases cannot easily
penetrate the foam and escape. This high density gas offers a security to the firemen
• The high water content in the ifoam® bubble foam ensures a higher cooling effect and doubles
the re-burning rate to more than 20 minutes as per EN1568-3
Concentration of ifoam® with various applications
• 0.1-0.5% as surfactant
• 1% as application for compress air foam (CAG)
• 3-6% as a foam-gel agent combustible liquids and solids
Benefits of using ifoam® foaming gel
• Adheres to smooth surfaces, covers liquid fires and protects against radiant heat
• With lesser water, forms a high stability foam
• Holds more water in every foam bubble as smaller and even bubbles are formed
• Ifoam® bubbles effectively suppress emission, can be used for prophylactic applications
• Ifoam® leaves no residue so draining in the soil is not required as it can be disposed off with
the debris
• There are no pollutants in the ifoam® extinguishing agent or in the raw material
• Being biodegradable, it protects the environment
• Ifoam® can be applied with sea water and in fire brigades too by adjusting the proportion as
per the existing system
Non polluting for the environment
Ifoam® is free from fluortenside, phosphate or any other hazardous substance that gets washed off with
the debris. Being easily biodegradable, it does not pollute the environment.
