About High Expansion Foam
High expansion foam, a combination of hydrocarbon surfactants and solvents and are used in foam generators. It can be used for protection of LNG storage areas by quickly blanketing the flammable liquid surface and helping to control vapour release. Various market players have developed fluorosurfactants possessing the C6 chain which enable reduction of environmental issues caused due to existing C8 chain fluorosurfactants. This, in turn, the growth in the demand for environment-friendly high expansion foam in the upcoming years.
