The Additive For Class
"A" Fire fighting

WHAT IS drench?
drench is a liquid additive designed to
dramatically reduce extinguishing time when fighting class "A" and
"AB" fires. By combining the properties of several products used in fire
fighting today we have come up with one super concentrate that increases penetration,
reduces friction and cools like no other product in the past. Fire departments are cutting
knock-out times in half and reducing water usage by as much as two-thirds.
SO drench IS A WET WATER RIGHT?
Absolutely not. drench is
a blend of four distinctly different chemical technologies maximizing the performance of
several element of the water. Penetration is increased up 400%, friction loss is reduced
by as much as 45% and vaporization takes place twice as fast.
WHERE IS drench USED?
drench can be used to safely and quickly
extinguish any combustible that would normally be treated with water. This includes wood
structures, bedding, trash compactors, hay, brush, forest, automobiles and tires.
HOW IS drench USED?
drench has been designed with simplicity in
mind. This product needs only to be poured directly into the water supply at a rate of one
quart to five hundred gallons of water. In other words, just pour one bottle of this
concentrate into a five hundred gallon booster tank and you're ready to go. Dispersion is
immediate and no special equipment is required. If preferred, the product can be diluted
with five gallons of water and then picked up with an eductor at a one per cent flow. Add
an ounce to a pressurized water extinguisher, Hudson sprayer or Indian tank for
incomparable performance, as well.
WHY USE drench? WATER IS MUCH
CHEAPER.
drench will literally cut knockout time in
half. This means that man hours are cut in half, wear and tear on equipment is cut in
half, water damage is cut in half and rekindles virtually non-existent. Studies have
proven that by using this product consistently on all class "A" and
"AB" situations there is actually a budget savings at the end of the year.
Therefore, drench is actually cheaper to use than water.
WILL drench HARM EQUIPMENT?
Because drench is so
highly concentrated just a very small amount of chemical is ever introduced to a system.
As a result, this product will not cause corrosion in tanks or lines or gum up valves.
Furthermore, the treated water can be safely left in the apparatus for extended periods of
time. In addition, the same treated water can be used with high expansion foam or AFFF.
This is a tremendous help to fire fighting agencies that have just one or two pieces of
equipment. drench is also non-toxic and 100% biodegradable.
CAN drench BE USED INSTEAD OF CLASS
"A" FOAM?
Yes. As a matter of fact, drench
will out perform most class "A" foams in regards to knockout times, water
consumption and dissipation of heat. In addition, drench is less than
one-fifth the cost in use and doesn't require the purchase of special hardware.
