Foam
AFFF 3%
Fomtec AFFF 3% A is an aqueous film forming foam concentrate (AFFF) consisting of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants blended with various solvents, preservatives and stabilisers.
The foam forms an aqueous film that rapidly cuts off the oxygen supply and knocks down the fire. The expanded foam, from which the film is drained, forms a stable blanket that suppresses the release of flammable vapours and cools down the fuel surface extinguishing the fire and preventing reignition.
The low surface tension of the water-foam solution enables the aqueous film, although heavier than the burning liquid, to float on top of the liquid surface.
Fomtec AFFF 3% A should be used at 3% proportioned solution (3 part concentrate in 97 parts of water) in brackish, fresh or sea water. It may also be stored as a premix solution in fresh water.
Application
Fomtec AFFF 3% A is intended for use on class B hydrocarbon fuel fires such as oil, diesel and aviation fuels. It can be used with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge devices.
Fomtec AFFF 3% A is especially suited whenever rapid fire knock-down is essential. It is compatible with all dry chemical powders and can be used in powder/foam twin agent systems.

MB HiEx
MB HiEx
Fomtec MB HiEx is efficient and cost effective high expansion foam for use in any high expansion foam systems. Fomtec MB HiEx mixed with water and converted into finished foam via medium or high expansion foam making equipment combats fires by engulfing the area, restricting the supply of oxygen, cooling of the liquid surface, and the suppression of flammable gases evaporating from the hot liquid surface. Used as high expansion in complete filling of enclosed rooms the foam creates an inert atmosphere. Fomtec MB HiEx can be used as 2% and 3% concentration I both potable and sea water.
Application
Fomtec MB HiEx is multi-purpose foam which can be used at medium and high expansions for the extinguishment of class B hydrocarbon fires.
At medium and high expansion, Fomtec MB HiEx can be used for total flooding of fires involving class A and class B materials. Medium expansion type is particularly suitable for small areas such as cellars and basements of buildings and high expansion type for large areas such as ship cargo or engine rooms. It is especially suitable for dealing with fires in inaccessible locations and where damage must be kept to a minimum.
Fire Performance & Foaming
Fomtec MB HiEx is giving good medium and high expansion index with both potable and sea water. Fomtec MB HiEx can be used from 2% induction. At higher inductions, expansion and foam strength will be higher. This will result in prolonged collapse time of the expanded foam.
