AFFF 1% Ultra LT

Overview

Fomtec AFFF 1% Ultra LT is a high-performance aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) concentrate formulated with C6 Pure fluor surfactants. This blend ensures rapid fire suppression and environmental compliance. The foam's unique film-forming properties effectively cut off the oxygen supply to fires, while its oleophobic characteristics create a stable foam blanket to prevent reignition.

Key Features

• Short-Chain C6 Pure Fluor chemistry: Utilizes advanced fluor surfactants for enhanced safety and environmental compliance.
• Comprehensive Approvals: Meets international standards, including EN 1568, UL 162, ULC, FM 5130, ICAO Level B, and GOST.
• Freeze Protection: Suitable for use in temperatures as low as -38°C, ensuring reliability in cold environments.
• Versatile Application: Effective against both Class A (wood, paper, textiles) and Class B (hydrocarbon fuels) fires.
• Low and Medium Expansion Foam: Ideal for various firefighting scenarios, including sprinkler systems and ARFF vehicles.
