FLUOROFOAM 3PAF FP3% FLUOROPROTEIN FOAM ( ICAO LEVEL A)

DESCRIPTION Fluorofoam 3PAF FP 3% is a fluoroprotein foam concentrate containing fluorinated surfactants in a carefully formulated protein foam liquid base. This ensures the production of a stabilised fluid foam which will cover a burning hydrocarbon fuel surface very rapidly. The water soluble fluorosurfactant makes the foam hydrocarbon repellent and reduces the amount of burning particles absorbed by the foam in fighting the hydrocarbon fuel fires. Once fire extinction has been achieved the high stability of the foam blanket ensures against the risk of re-ignition and provides excellent protection against ' burn-back' should any inaccessible pockets of fire remains. When proportioned with water and applied with conventional fire fighting equipment, Fluorofoam 3PAF FP 3% gives rapid fire knockdown and optimal fire fighting performance on aviation fuels such as AVTUR and AVGAS. Fluorofoam 3PAF FP 3% meets the ICAO Level A standard for Airport Fire Protection.
