KV-LITE CLASS A Wetting Agent is a high-performance firefighting additive formulated with speciality hydrocarbon surfactants, stabilisers, preservatives, and solvents. It is specifically designed to improve water penetration and wetting characteristics, enabling faster and more effective suppression of deep-seated Class A fires. The formulation significantly reduces water surface tension, allowing the solution to penetrate porous combustible materials more efficiently.

The superior wetting and penetrating properties help the foam solution reach deep into charred layers and concealed fire zones, reducing fire intensity and preventing re-ignition. The product creates a long-lasting blanket over burning surfaces, suppressing combustible vapours while providing cooling and insulation. This enhances firefighting effectiveness while minimising water consumption during fire suppression operations.

KV-LITE CLASS A Wetting Agent is particularly effective for firefighting applications involving wood, paper, coal, vegetation, and similar combustible materials. Its low proportioning percentage makes it highly economical in terms of usage, storage, and handling. The product is also available in a freeze-protected version for operation in low-temperature environments.
