Ektimal Trading Company, through its manufacturing facility Flame Armor Factory, presents its high-performance fire extinguishing foam AFFF – Aqueous Film Forming Foam, engineered specifically for combating hydrocarbon liquid fires (Class B).
The product is based on fast-acting aqueous film technology that spreads instantly over the fuel surface, separating oxygen, suppressing flammable vapors, and achieving rapid extinguishment with effective cooling.
This foam is developed in accordance with the latest international standards and undergoes rigorous testing inside Flame Armor’s in-house laboratory to ensure consistent quality and performance in all environments.
