We provide foam laboratory services for the testing of low, medium and high expansion fire-fighting foams in accordance to EN1568 and/or IMO standards. Foam samples are to be provided to us in a clean, dry sample bottle, with appropriate information prior to the commencement of foam testing, such as:

• Purchase order/sample number
• Foam type
• Brand name
• Concentration %
• Ship name
• Location sample taken from
• Date of sample collection
• Manufacturer specifications of foam
•  

 Properties to be tested (depending on foam sample)  

• Appearance
• PH
• Volumic mass
• Viscosity
• Sedimentation
• Surface Tension
• Expansion
• Drainage time
• Low/Medium/High expansion
• Burnback resistance
• Fire test on heptane
• Fire test on acetone

We work together with LEIA Labs in the United Kingdom (UK) to carry out fire test and lab tests, particularly for high expansion and alcohol resistant foams. LEIA is equipped with the latest equipment and facilities to carry out critical foam tests and analysis. Foam samples sent to the UK are generally processed within five working days from the date the sample is received.
