FFFP ARC 3×6

Fomtec FFFP ARC 3×6 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 3×6 utilises the unique film forming effect to cut off oxygen supply to the fire and the oleophobic properties of the foam enables a stable foam blanket to prevent reignition of the fire. With polar fuels, a polymeric membrane is formed that suppresses vapours and allows the foam blanket to survive on the water miscible fuel surface.
