ENVIRO 3X3 ULTRA

Overview

Fomtec Enviro 3×3 Ultra is a novel, multi-purpose, alcohol-resistant firefighting foam concentrate, completely free from fluorinated surfactants and polymers (PFAS). Its unique formulation enables rapid coverage of burning surfaces, making it effective against both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires. Notably, it demonstrates excellent performance on isopropyl alcohol (IPA) fires, surpassing many other fluorine-free foam products.

Features

• Fluorine-Free Composition: Eliminates environmental concerns associated with PFAS.
• Superior Fire Performance: Effective on heptane, acetone, and IPA fires using both potable and seawater.
• Environmental Compliance: HOCNF documented and NEMS registered.

Applications

Fomtec Enviro 3×3 Ultra is designed for use on Class B hydrocarbon fuels and polar solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, methanol, ethanol, and acetone. It is suitable for low and medium expansion foam applications, especially in mobile firefighting scenarios using aspirating foam discharge devices like branch pipes and monitors. The foam can also be used in systems designed with appropriate application rates and discharge devices. Additionally, it is effective against Class A fires (e.g., wood, paper, textiles) at proportioning rates of 0.3% to 1%.
