FP 3% AR

Fomtec FP 3% AR is an alcohol resistant fluoro-protein foam concentrate (FP-ARC) consisting of hydrolysed protein hydrolysate and a blend of fluorocarbon-, hydrocarbon surfactants and polymers, various solvents and stabilisers. All Fomtec FP-ARC foam concentrates are formulated with 100% C6 Pure fluoro-surfactants and fluoro-polymers. On hydrocarbon fuels, Fomtec FP 3% AR forms a foam blanket 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, the special fluoro-polymer forms a stable barrier that suppresses vapours and allows the foam blanket to survive on the water miscible fuel surface.
