A fire-fighting material consisting of small bubbles of air, water, and concentrating agents. 8, record 1, English, - extinguishing%20foam
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Chemically, the air in the bubbles is suspended in the fluid. The foam clings to vertical and horizontal surfaces and flows freely over burning materials. Foam will put out a fire by blanketing it, excluding air and blocking the escape of volatile vapour. Its flowing properties will resist mechanical interruption and reseal the burning material. 9, record 1, English, - extinguishing%20foam

Material para la lucha contra incendios que consiste en pequeñas burbujas de aire, agua y agentes concentradores. 3, record 1, Spanish, - espuma
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Químicamente, el aire de las burbujas está suspendido en el fluido. La espuma se adhiere a las superficies horizontales y verticales y fluye libremente sobre los materiales en combustión. La espuma extingue los incendios cubriéndolos, excluyendo el aire y bloqueando la fuga de vapores volátiles. Sus propiedades de fluidez resisten la interrupción mecánica y vuelven a cerrar herméticamente el material en combustión. 3, record 1, Spanish, - espuma
