penetration drop test
It is important for any fire suppression product to get to the fire.
One of the tests for this factor, is to determine how well the product mixer makes its’ way down through the trees and to the ground. Ideally, the products would leave a coating on the leaves, bark, and ground around the trees. This test in Meadowlake, SK provided the necessary results to confirm that Firegel formulation works.
Safer
Altitude Drops
FireGel™ maintains cohesive integrity and high shear resistance during aerial release, delivering as an intact mass even from 150–200 ft AGL.
Unlike conventional retardants and straight water drops that disperse or drift under wind shear, FireGel™ holds its structure and trajectory, ensuring precise, highdensity coverage on target fuels with minimal loss.
