Function

The AWG Low expansion foam nozzles are used to produce low ex-
pansion foam in accordance with DIN EN 16712-3. The water compo-
nents of the low expansion foam cool the fire surface. The foam blan-
ket prevents oxygen access to the burning material. Preventive foam-
ing protects fire-endangered materials against inflammation.
