PRODUCT INFORMATION

Prevento

Prevento, the gel extinguishing agent is developed and manufactured in Germany by Febbex. It is a high performance, innovative additive that extinguishes fire of different classes and prevents re-ignition which prevents further loss of life and property

What is Prevento made up of?

Prevento contains a unique combination of ingredients that forms a gel, prevents separation and re-ignition.

• Super absorber (SAP)
• Organic salts
• Biocide
• Hydrocolloid Stabilizer

Note: all the ingredients used in Prevento are from the hygiene sector and food sector, which renders them harmless and environment friendly.

How Prevento works

The SAP or super absorbers thicken the water, which enables the gel to stay longer on the burnt material. It gets converted into carbon dioxide and water by the UV radiations and fire. The Organic salts have a property of creating a layer that is impregnable. The impregnating attributes and the frost protection Is effective up to -4 deg F. Organic salts are natural organic elements and are easily degradable. Hydrocolloid stabilizer is an important ingredient in Prevento fire prevention agents as it permanently prevents the separation. It being a natural element, it bio-degrades easily.

Types of fire that can be extinguished with Prevento

• Wood, paper, cardboard, embers, rubber, plastic
• Diesel, kerosene, engine oil, hydraulic oil, thermo-oils, benzene, transformer oils
• Natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, methane
• Animal fats, vegetable fats and oils
• The benefits of adding Prevento to the fire extinguisher
• Reduces the need of fire extinguisher water by 20 times
• Easily bio-degradable
• The combustibles get converted into flame retardant material
• Creates a compact separating layer which has a cooling, coating and impregnating effect
• The cooling is done below ignition point that prevents re-ignition or new ignitions
• Impedes the influx of oxygen

Note: all the ingredients are from the hygiene and food sector that renders this product environment friendly and harmless

Where to use Prevento

Prevento can be applied as a protection to areas surrounding welding works where a spark may cause a fire.
Prevento can be effectively used in households like for kitchen fires
Prevento can efficiently control and douse automobile and boat engine fires
A transformer fire can be controlled with Prevento
Prevento Forest can be sprayed from the air or targeted from land to extinguish forest fires
Prevento has proved highly beneficial for the military. Tire fires are easily and quickly extinguished on the armored and transport vehicles which were unmanageable.
Prevento is a new and innovative approach to fight fires of Class A, B, C and F. It is highly efficient in fighting forest, rubber, oil and plastic fires which prevents further loss of life and property. Prevento when added to the fire extinguisher forms a gel of the second generation. It forms an impregnable protective layer on solids or liquid.

Prevento Forest

Prevento Forest is an extremely efficient and innovative fire extinguisher for forest fires. It is product manufactured and developed by Febbex, Germany and distributed in USA, Canada and Mexico by Febbex North America.

What is Prevento forest made up of?

Prevento Forest is a combination of majorly five ingredients that form a super absorbing gelling agent to extinguish and control the forest fire.

• Super absorber (SAP)
• Organic salts
• Biocide
• Hydrocolloid stabilizer
• Mica ( is added on request)

How Prevento Forest works

The SAP is converted into water and CO2 by the UV radiations and fire. Hydrocolloid stabilizers and organic salts which are added in Prevento Forest are readily degradable, organic natural substances. Biocide is a disinfectant that does not produce significant chemical changes. Mica is a natural mineral that can be added for white marking.

When Prevento Forest is added to water, it forms a 2nd generation fire extinguishing gel which forms a coating on the solid materials and renders them impregnable.

Types of fire that can be extinguished with Prevento Forest

• Wood
• Plants
• Paper
• Cardboard
• Elastomers like rubber
• Plastics like polyamide
• embers
The benefits of adding Prevento Forest to the fire extinguisher
• converts the combustibles into flame retardant material
• prevents re-ignitions and new ignitions
• uses 20 times lesser water
• creates a compact protective layer
• impedes influx of oxygen
• creates a cooling surface layer and cools the gas/vapor below ignition point
• Non toxic
• Bio-degradable

How to use Prevento Forest

Prevento Forest is specifically designed for use to extinguish forest fires. Prevento Forest can be applied terrestrially and aerially.

Terrestrial Forest Fire Fighting using Prevento Forest

• Prevent forest can be applied around the danger zones with normal or commercial equipment. It fire proofs the area, can be reactivated with water. In case of a fire, it lets the fire run its course or it diverts it to areas which has lesser burnable objects
• Prevento forest creates effective fire barriers around the area
• It can be easily reactivated with water if it dries up
• Spray Prevento forest gel in about 50m strip around homes, trees and other combustibles
Aerial forest fire fighting using Prevento Forest
• Prevent forest can be applied alongside or outside the fire
• Helicopters, being out of the danger zone can easily apply the product to the target zone
• When Prevento forest is sprayed from helicopters, 90% of the coherent droplets will reach the ground as opposed to only 5% of plain water
• Aerial spraying can cover a larger area
• Prevent forest can be safely applied to streets and homes as it is non toxic

Prevento Forest is a fire extinguisher additive that can be safely used to extinguish and control the forest fires without harming the environment.

Prevento® Solar

Prevento Solar, a product of Febbex, Germany is developed and manufactured in Germany and distributed by Febbex North America in USA, Canada and Mexico. Prevento Solar is an additive for fire extinguishers which can be specifically used on solar panels or any other smooth surface that is inclined. Prevento Solar does not contain AFFF so is non-toxic, easily bio-degradable which protects and preserve the environment.

How Prevento Solar works

Prevento Solar is a water based gel that is easy to spray. It has very strong adhesive properties and high opacity. This makes it ideal for spraying on solar modules as it quickly covers the panel and stops the generation of power. The special ingredients used in the gel make it adhere to the inclined panel and covers the solar panel to stop power generation. This prevents further loss of life and property as the firemen can start their main job of fire extinguishing without being exposed to the hazard of electric hits due to the solar system.

Types of fire that can be extinguished with Prevento Solar

• Solar panel
• In Military for dousing tire fires
The Benefit of adding Prevento Solar
• Quickly creates a protective, secure and efficient cover on solar panels
• Prevento solar is a water based spray fluid which form an even coating
• Being highly opaque, cuts out the sun rays from reaching the solar panel fins
• Prevents generation of solar power
• Adheres to the smooth , inclined surface
• Prevento Solar does not peel off
• The ingredients are non-toxic and biodegradable
• Is frost resistant up to -10 degree C
• Prevento solar does not irritate the skin as it has a neutral pH
• Is no corrosive and does not leave any residue or residual dirt
• For a coat of 1-3 mm thickness, about 1-3 l/m2 is consumed

Prevento Solar is an innovative fire extinguisher additive manufactured and developed by Febbex Germany. The prevento solar spray gel when sprayed on the solar panel forms a coating which cuts off power generation and firemen can start their job of extinguishing the fire.
