Fomtec Enviro AX1 1% is a firefighting foam concentrate with no intentionally added PFAS (fluorine compounds). It is a novel formulation consisting of surfactants, foam stabilizers, and boosters. Fomtec Enviro AX1 1% is intended for use on hydrocarbon fuel fires such as diesel, oil, and other water-immiscible fuels. Fomtec Enviro AX1 1% is specially designed for use in fixed foam fire protection systems with specific discharge devices.
Fomtec Enviro AX1 1% is intended for use on class B hydrocarbon fuel fires such as diesel, oil, and other water-immiscible fuels and class A fires such as wood, paper, textiles etc. Focus applications are diesel generator rooms and truck loading bays where aspirated foam/water sprinklers are typically used.
Fomtec Enviro AX1 1% is especially suited whenever a fluorine-free alternative with high fire performance is required for fixed system applications using fresh water.
Fomtec Enviro AX1 1% is low viscosity and can enable an easier transition of AFFF systems
Fomtec Enviro AX1 1% should be used with low expansion discharge devices or in systems designed for use with the product based on recommended minimum application rates, application duration, and discharge devices.
