Fomtec ARC Miljö 3×6 is a high efficiency multipurpose film forming foam (3×6). Characteristics for film forming foam are that it spreads rapidly across a fire. As a result, it is highly effective against hydrocarbon fires. Adding special polymers ensures it is also highly effective against polar solvents.
Fomtec ARC Miljö 3×6 is intended for use on class B hy-drocarbon fuel as well as on polar solvent e.g. Isopropanol, Methanol and other foam destroying fuels such as MTBE. It uses only half the quantity to extinguish polar solvent fires in comparison to the traditional 3×6 foam concentrates. It can be used with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge devices. It is compatible with all dry chemical powders.
