Description

ANSULITE 3% (AFC-3A) AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) Concentrate is formulated from specialty fluorochemical and hydrocarbon type surfactants along with solvents. It istransported and stored as a concentrate to provide ease of use and considerable savings in weight and volume.

It is intended for use as a 3% proportioned solution in fresh, salt or hard water. It may also be used and stored as a 3% premixed solution in fresh or potable water only. The correct proportioning or mixture ratio is 3 parts concentrate to 97 parts water.

Three fire suppressing mechanisms are in effect when using ANSULITE 3% (AFC-3A) AFFF Concentrate. First, an aqueous film is formed which works to help prevent the release of fuel vapor. Second, the foam blanket from which the film-forming liquid drains effectively excludes oxygen from the fuel surface. Third, the water content of the foam provides a cooling effect.
