Description

Fomtec AFFF 1% F is a high-performance aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) designed for rapid knockdown of Class B hydrocarbon fires and effective suppression of Class A combustibles. The concentrate uses short-chain C6 fluorochemistry and is environmentally documented according to HOCNF, making it suitable for marine, offshore and industrial use.

The foam is proportioned at 1% (1 part concentrate to 99 parts water) and can be applied with both fresh and seawater. For Class A fires such as wood, textiles and paper, an induction ratio of 0.3–0.5% is recommended depending on equipment.

Fomtec AFFF 1% F is fully certified to major international firefighting standards, including EN 1568, IMO Circ. 1312, MED Wheelmark, ICAO Level B, and GOST. It is especially suited for operations requiring low freezing points and high reliability in cold environments.
