After a days work most of us long for a warm relaxing bath. This is best done when you can just sit on a tub with warm water and just lay on there with candles surrounding you. You can play soft music on the background or do without it, and you can simply lie on there for minutes until your aching body is relieved. However, your warm water might not stay that warm long enough. With the aid of foams on the surface of the water, helps keep your bath warm longer.

Nevertheless, foams do not only play an important role in bathing. It can also an important technique applied to solutions. For example, to prevent irritation from shaving, men use shaving foams before removing facial hair with the use of razors. Curly hair becomes shiny and frizz-free with the help of styling foams in the forms of mousse. Foams have different uses and it is one of the most effective means of putting out fire caused by ordinary burning materials and flammable liquids.

Foams to put out fire are not in the form of bubbles used when taking a bath. Rather they have the texture of shaving solution or the hairstyling mousse. One of the most popular foam fire protecting devices is the afff fire extinguisher. Now what does this stand for? It is the acronym for aqueous film forming foam. They work by sealing the surface of fire making it possible for oxygen to worsen it. It acts a barrier to prevent combustion from happening.There other types of foams used in putting out fire of simple cases and of combustible liquids. Alcohol-resistant aqueous film forming foams are best used to tackle fire when fire produces harmful vapors.

All of fire protecting devices that emits foam work almost the same. However, as much as they can be effectively used in putting out fire, they are quite hazardous to human health, more than other extinguishers do. They have agents that may be carcinogenic. This kind of device has also limitations with its use. As much as it can be used in simple combustible materials and liquids, they cannot be used in any electrical devices. Foams are still water-based, so insteading of limiting the damage caused by fire to the equipment, it may result to its total destruction. In addition, if you happen to touch the equipment accidentally while checking it out, you might be at risk for shock.

AR-AFF and afff fire extinguisher are some of the most popular devices using foam. Although it may have harmful effects to human body, they can be used as one of your best options in tackling a wide variety of class A and B fires. Sometimes, they are even used for class E fires. Definitely, using this item needs precaution and for one to be freed from its harmful effects, bodily protection is needed to prevent from inhaling or touching it. Nevertheless, it is no doubt that the blanket of foams that this device could give, is one of the best ways to produce a cooling effect and to prevent harmful residues from escaping.
