FILMOPOL 1N is a high-quality multipurpose film forming foam concentrate liquid, usable at 1% on class B hydrocarbon and 1% on polar solvents fires.
Description
Following is the detailed descriptions of FILMOPOL l 1N
- AR-AFFF (Alcohol-Resistant Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) features:
- On hydrocarbon fire, it forms a thin aqueous film forming which spreads rapidly above fuel surface avoiding contact with oxygen.
- On polar solvent fire, selected compounds avoid foam destruction by polar fuels. The water content of the foam produces a cooling effect
- Low viscosity – Newtonian solution (liquid)
- Induction rate: 1% on hydrocarbon and 1% on polar solvent fire
- Multi-purpose:
- efficient on class B hydrocarbon fuels (crude oil, gasoline, kerosene…), polar solvents (alcohol, ketone, ethers…), and class A fires
- Usable at low expansion
- Usable with fresh, sea, and brackish water
- Freeze-protected
- Easily biodegradable
- Formulated with latest short-chain C6 fluorosurfactants
- Fire suppression on:
- storage tanks
- bund
- process areas
- loading racks
- power stations
- airports
- marine terminals
Standard
Following are the standards:
- EN1568 -3 and -4 version 2018 certified
- GESIP qualified
Benefits
Following are the benefits:
- Fast fire extinguishment and long burnback resistance performances relating to EN1568 V2018 standard ratings
- Newtonian solution (liquid): easily proportioned using all foam equipment
- Versatile foam: stock only one type of foam concentrate for several risks
- Increase fire fighter autonomy: diluted at 1% instead of 3%, you use 3x less foam concentrate to produce the same quantity of foam solution
- Require smaller storage tanks and set-up space
Contains no PFOS or PFOA fluorocompounds
