FOMTEC P 3%
Product Description
Fomtec P 3% is protein foam produced from a carefully controlled blend of hydrolised protein, foam boosters, stabilisers and preservatives. This ensures the production of stabilised fluid foam. Foam produced by foam making equipment is tough, stable, heat resistant and covers the burning hydrocarbon fuel surface rapidly. Once fire extinction has been achieved the high stability of the foam blanket ensures against the risk of re-ignition and provides excellent protection against 'burn-back' should any inaccessible pockets of fire remain.
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.
Fomtec P 3% is intended for use on B class hydrocarbon fuel fires such as oil, petroleum and aviation fuels. Fomtec P 3% can be applied directly onto the fire surface.
