Fire performance & Foaming

When Fomtec Class F is used as a fine spray, in the form of droplets, onto a fat related fire, it provides a quick flame knock down and surface cooling. It also reacts with hot fat and forms soap like layer on the surface of the hot fat. This layer provides a blanket between the flammable vapors and atmospheric oxygen which reduces the chance of re-ignition.

Proportioning

Fomtec Class F is a ready-to-use premix. It should not be diluted or blended with water.
