Kitchen fires are among the most common and dangerous types of indoor fires—especially in commercial kitchens, restaurants, and food processing units. These fires often involve high-temperature cooking oils or animal fats, which can’t be safely extinguished by water or conventional fire foams.
At INFERNO GLOBAL SOLUTIONS, our Class K Fire Foam is engineered specifically for cooking-related fires, delivering rapid suppression, excellent cooling, and vapor sealing properties. It’s the most effective and safest solution for protecting kitchens, canteens, and food-service establishments from fire disasters.
🍳 What is Class K Fire Foam?
Class K Fire Foam is a specially formulated wet chemical foam that reacts with hot oils and fats through a process called saponification—turning burning oils into non-flammable soap-like substances. It simultaneously creates a foam blanket that prevents re-ignition by cooling and cutting off oxygen.
This foam is designed for Class K fires, which involve vegetable oils, greases, or animal fats commonly used in high-temperature commercial cooking equipment like deep fryers, grills, and ovens.
🔥 Key Features & Benefits
- Rapid Flame Knockdown: Quickly extinguishes grease fires before they spread.
- Saponification Reaction: Chemically neutralizes flammable oils by converting them into inert compounds.
- Excellent Burnback Resistance: Prevents re-ignition by creating a stable, insulating layer.
- Low Splash Risk: Minimizes violent reactions and hot oil splatter when applied.
- Non-Corrosive Formulation: Safe for stainless steel surfaces and kitchen appliances.
