Ansul Dry Chemical, FORAY, 400 lb. DrumApplication:
ANSUL® FORAY® may be used to combat fires in ordinary combustible
materials such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber and many plastics (Class
A) as well as fires in flammable liquids, gases and greases (Class B)
and fires involving energized electrical equipment (Class C). FORAY is
of particular value on combination fires (Class A and B together) and on
Class A fires at temperatures which would freeze water. A typical application
is the heavy equipment used in the logging industry.
FORAY is available in hand portable and wheeled extinguishers, large
stationary units, mobile units and various fixed nozzle piped systems.
Description:
FORAY is the only one of ANSUL’s dry chemicals that provides Class A
fire extinguishment. It is a monoammonium phosphate based dry chemical
containing chemical additives, and produced by an exclusive ANSUL
chemical process. The resultant agent is free-flowing, water repellant,
non-abrasive, and when used as a fire extinguishing agent will produce
no toxic effects. FORAY is yellow in color to differentiate it from the other
dry chemical agents.
Moisture may combine with monoammonium phosphate based agents
in post fire situations to produce mild corrosion. Because of this, prompt
cleanup is recommended. If the agent cannot be readily swept up, warm
water may be used as a solvent.
Performance:
Monoammonium phosphate based extinguishants are unique among dry
chemicals because of their ‘‘A’’ rating. ANSUL FORAY is at least 4 to 5
times as effective as an equal weight of water on Class A fires. Various
extinguishers will operate at temperatures as low as –65 °F and as high
as 120 °F (–54 °C and 49 °C).
Caution: Never mix FORAY with bicarbonate based dry chemicals. A
chemical reaction that is harmful to the extinguisher will take place.

agencies of the U.S. and Canadian governments.
