P 3%

Fomtec P 3% is a fluorine free protein foam produced from a carefully controlled blend of hydrolised protein, foam boosters, stabilisers and preservatives. Fomtec P 3% will generate a tough, stable and heat resistant foam blanket on hydrocarbon fuels. Due to the protein base it has exceptional burnback capability that ensures against the risk of re-ignition.
Fomtec P 3% should be used as a 3% proportioned solution in fresh or sea water. The correct proportioning or mixture ratio is 3 parts of concentrate and 97 parts of water.

Application

Fomtec P 3% is intended for use on B class hydrocarbon fuel fires such as oil, petroleum and kerosene. It can be applied as low expansion and especially suited for use in mobile fire-fighting by use of aspirating foam discharge devices such as foam branchpipes and monitors, where application rates and technique can be adjusted to the specifics of each incident. Or in systems designed for use with the product based on recom-mended minimum applications rates, application duration and discharge devices.
