Adherent Technologies has developed a complete product line of aqueous foams. We offer standard formulations and offer custom aqueous foam formulations that can be used for applications such as 

	Fire Suppression/ Fire Fighting
	Explosion Shielding
	Flooding (Security Purposes)
	Hazardous Materials Vapor Suppression
	Picture below is a blast test done

Pictured on the left is an explosion of a structure without a foam barrier. Pictured on the right is a structure coated with our aqueous foam.

Both structures shown below were originally constructed the same and then detonated with one pound of C4 explosives. The structure on the left had no aqueous foam protection, and was completely destroyed. The structure on the right had it's interior coated with our aqueous foam and sustained minimal damage

Figure 1. High expansion (500:1) aqueous foam drainage rates. Time to 50 wt.% drainage for firefighting foam is 30 minutes compared to 6 hours for stabilized aqueous foam systems.

Figure 2. Energy attenuation of stable aqueous foam system (e.g., blast reduced from25 psi to 2 psi by a 100:1 expansion ratio foam layer at 6 feet
from 1 pound of C4 explosive)
