Fomtec NXP -50 is a new generation of premixed fire fighting agents. It combines excellent extinction properties with low usage temperature. The freezing point is at -50°C.The fire performance is excellent on both Class A and Class B fires. It can be used with a wide range of foam generators, like nozzles and sprinkler heads.Due to its unique properties with combined low pour point, excellent fire performance and good shelf life it can be stored and installed in cold areas.
Fomtec NXP -50 is intended to be used on Class A and Class B fires on hydrocarbon solvents. It can be used with aspirated as well as non-aspirated discharge devices.
Fomtec NXP -50 can be used in:
Fomtec NXP -50 is especially designed to be used in extinguish-ing systems in engine rooms in heavy duty vehicles or similar applications. The equipment should be designed to the foam type to achieve optimal performance.

Fomtec NXP -50 is formulated using raw materials specially selected for their fire performance and their environmental profile. The product is non-toxic, biodegradable and each individual component is fully tested and documented.
Our fluorine containing products are formulated with C6 short-chain fluorinated surfactants have been tested by independent laboratories for PFOS and PFOA impurities. The results show that the level of PFOS and PFOA in our foam concentrates are below the detection limit of 20 ppb of the analysis method. This means that these foam concentrates are in accordance with US EPA Stewardship Programme 2010/15, EU Directive 2006/122/EC, amended Council Directive 76/769/EEC and EU commission regulation 2017/1000. They are also in compliance with the C6 purity compliant definition in the Queensland Department of Environmental and Heritage Protec-tions Operational Policy on the Environmental Management of Firefighting Foam. For more detailed information please consult Fomtec Technical Advices FTA 40.
Stored in original unbroken packaging the product will have a long shelf life. Shelf life in excess of 10 years will be found in temperate climates. As with all foams, shelf life will be depen-dent on storage temperatures and conditions.
