Safety Foam
A Fully Reticulated Flexible Polyurethane Explosion Suppressing Foam By Foamex
General Description
Safety foam is used in a variety of applications as a passive, maintenance free system to suppress explosions. This is accomplished by the foam's skeletal network of tiny lightweight interconnecting strands which act as a three dimensional fire screen to help prevent fuel explosions caused by gunfire, electrical ignition, lightning and impacts.
The United States Air Force has successfully used Safety Foam to supress fuel tank explosions in several types of combat and special mission aircraft since 1966. Safety Foam adds little weight, and reduces the tank's usable fuel by less than 4%. It is also useful as a surge mitigator, a foreign object debris barrier, baffling in boats to reduce slosh, and gasoline can flashback protection in filler spouts.
