Application
Fomtec Enviro SPX 1% is intended for use on class A fires such as wood, paper, textiles, etc, as well as fires in plastic materials. The product’s ability to reduce the surface tension of water enables quick penetration into fibrous materials, enabling deep cooling that can lead to rapid fire suppression in class A materials. Class A foam will generate a stable foam capable of sticking to vertical surfaces, enabling protection against radiant heat. On plastics, the performance is proven through testing as per VdS 3896 when used at 1%. Fomtec Enviro SPX 1% is especially suited whenever a non-fluorinated foam (no intentionally added PFAS) with high fire performance is required. Approved for use in sprinkler systems as per VdS 3896 using non-aspirating standard sprin-klers. Suitable for mobile firefighting by use of aspirating or non-aspirating foam discharge devices such as foam branch-pipes, handline nozzles, and monitors, where application rates and technique can be adjusted to the specifics of each incident. Or in systems designed for use with the product based on recommended minimum application rates, applica-tion duration, and discharge devices. Sprinkler applications of this product for suppression of fires in plastics materials shall follow design guidelines as specified in VdS 3214 standard.
