Foam Concentrate
Foam Concentrate
Class A foam concentrate makes water work harder on ordinary combustibles. Mixed in small amounts, it lowers water's surface tension so it soaks into wood, brush, hay and other Class A fuels instead of running off. This category carries Chemguard Class A Plus Foam.
