Fire Fighting Foam Market is expected to reach 437 thousand tons in 2022: Radiant Insights
The global fire fighting foam market is expected to reach 437 thousand tons in 2022. The market for firefighting foam is expected to sustain decent growth in the next few years, with much of that growth coming from the petrochemical, ship, and warehouses sectors. The market is expected to reach USD1,165.01 million in 2022, according to market research publisher GCC's latest report, "Global Fire Fighting Foam Industry Report 2017." Firefighting foam is foam used for fire suppression. Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, resulting in suppression of the combustion. Fire-fighting foam was invented by the Russian engineer and chemist Aleksandr Loran in 1902. The surfactants used must produce foam in concentration of less than 1%. Other components of fire-retardant foams are organic solvents (e.g., trimethyl-trimethylene glycol and hexylene glycol), foam stabilizers (e.g., lauryl alcohol), and corrosion inhibitors. Downloa...
