FOAM CONCENTRATE FLUOROPROTEIN, 3% 20LTR – PCS

FP 3% AR

Overview

Fomtec FP 3% AR is an alcohol-resistant fluoro-protein foam concentrate (FP-ARC) composed of hydrolyzed protein hydrolysate, fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants, polymers, solvents, and stabilizers. Formulated with 100% C6 pure fluoro-surfactants and fluoro-polymers, it effectively combats both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires.

Features

• Short-Chain C6 Pure Fluorochemistry: Environmentally responsible formulation.
• International Approvals: Certified according to IMO 1312 and MED standards.
• Freeze-Protected: Suitable for various climates.
• Versatility: Effective on Class A and B fires.
• Expansion Capabilities: Suitable for low and medium expansion foam applications.

Applications

Fomtec FP 3% AR is tested according to IMO 1312 for use on Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires, such as oil and diesel, as well as polar solvent fires like IPA and acetone. It can also be used on Class A fires involving materials like wood, paper, and textiles. Typical applications include high-risk installations, especially in marine environments where IMO and MED approvals are required.
