P 3% AR

Fomtec P3% AR is an alcohol resistant protein foam concentrate (P-ARC) consisting of hydrolysed protein hydrolysate and a blend of hydrocarbon surfactants and polymers, various solvents and stabilisers. All Fomtec P-ARC foam concentrates are formulated totally free of fluorinated substances (PFAS). The unique formulation of Fomtec P3% AR enables the foam to rapidly cover the burning surfaces and control over the fire. As a result, it is effective against hydrocarbon fires and with the presence of special polymers it is also very effective against polar solvents.
