FFFP ARC 3×3 NV

Fomtec FFFP ARC 3×3 NV (Avalanche) is an alcohol resistant film forming fluoro-protein foam concentrate (FFFP-ARC) consisting of hydrolysed protein hydrolysate and a blend of fluorocarbon-, hydrocarbon surfactants and polymers, various solvents and stabilisers. All Fomtec FFFP-ARC foam concentrates are formulated with 100% C6 Pure fluoro-surfactants and fluoro-polymers. On hydrocarbon fuels, Fomtec FFFP ARC 3×3 NV (Avalanche) utilises the unique film forming effect to cut off oxygen supply to the fire and the oleophobic prop-erties of the foam enables a stable foam blanket to prevent reignition of the fire. With polar fuels, the special fluoro-polymer forms a stable barrier that suppresses vapours and allows the foam blanket to survive on the water miscible fuel surface.
