Arctic Inspiration
With over 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, a better way to protect our people and infrastructure in the absence of water was abundantly clear. Sourcing and storing water is a logistical nightmare for many companies. Water freezes and corrodes. Distribution fails when demand spikes. Training is expensive. Weather is unpredictable. Letting it burn is common guidance, but we think there's a better way.
The Challenge
Bubbles are the best way to protect against fire. They dynamically coat surfaces, separate fuel from oxygen, and break fire's ability to propagate. This is why bubbles are important for suppression systems. But a bubble's structure in traditional foams are made of water, which is fragile. Dryfoam approaches the problem from the other side.
While traditional fire foams rely on a fragile water-based bubble and mix them with durable toxic chemicals during an emergency - Dryfoam relies on a durable non-toxic material, formed in the shape of a bubble, and deployed during stability.
