FASTER FIRE EXTINGUISHING
THANKS TO LOWER SURFACE TENSION
Because the wetting agent reduces surface tension, it penetrates much deeper into burning materials than regular extinguishing water. For example, when fighting a forest fire, water mixed with a wetting agent reaches deep into the burning wood, allowing the fire to be extinguished from the inside much faster.

What is surface tension?
Surface tension is the phenomenon occurring in liquids as a result of molecular forces to keep their surface small. The surface of a liquid behaves similarly to a stretched, elastic film. This effect is the reason, for example, why water forms drops, and contributes to the fact that some insects can walk on water or that a razor blade "floats" on water.
Modern foam agents are biodegradable and highly efficient, requiring minimal quantities to create effective wetting agents. This leads to quicker extinguishing, less contaminated water, and reduced logistical efforts, making firefighting more environmentally friendly.
With Drip Torch, firefighters harness the power of fire to their advantage. By igniting vegetation strategically along a control line ahead of the main fire, it reinforces and fortifies the control line, creating a formidable barrier against the blaze.
