CHEMGUARD NFF 3x3 UL201 Foam Concentrate
Introducing the patent-pending technology of CHEMGUARD NFF 3x3 UL201 Non-Fluorinated Alcohol Resistant Firefighting Foam Concentrate which sets a new standard for Class B firefighting.
Industry Leading Performance - Like all non-fluorinated firefighting foam concentrates, CHEMGUARD NFF 3x3 UL201 foam concentrate is UL 162 tested and listed as a Synthetic Foam. Per this UL standard, the minimum design application rate for this foam is 0.16 gpm/ft2 (6.5 lpm/m2) for Type III hydrocarbon fuel fires.
- Designed in accordance with NFPA Standard 11 for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam
- UL 162 listed as a synthetic alcohol resistant foam concentrate for use on hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires
- Independent, 3rd-party verified to achieve the same application rate as a UL 162 listed Alcohol Resistant Aqueous Film-Forming Foam for control and extinguishment of hydrocarbon fuel fires
- Viscosity similar to a quality 3x3 AR-AFFF, enabling application with most properly-calibrated proportioning and discharge response devices and reducing the need for significant fires hardware changes
- Effective control and suppression on hydrocarbon fuel fires at expansion ratios as low as 3 to 1 - supporting utilization of standard, non-aspirated nozzles and hand-lines
- Class-leading, cross-functional performance for fire knock-down and control; long-lasting foam blanket for extended post-extinguishment burn- back resistance and vapor suppression for many applications
- Flexible response with 3% proportioning in fresh, brackish, or salt water for both hydrocarbon and polar solvent Class B hazards
CHEMGUARD NFF 3x3 UL201 foam solution utilizes three suppression mechanisms intended for rapid fire knockdown and superior burnback resistance:
- The foam blanket blocks oxygen supply to the fuel and suppress fuel vapor with extended drain times for better vapor suppression after extinguishment.
- On polar solvent fires, liquid drains from the foam blanket and forms a polymeric membrane which protects the foam from destruction by the polar fuel, suppresses vapors, and seals the fuel surface.
- The water content of the foam solution produces a cooling effect for additional fire suppression.
