      FEATURES     

 FIREHOUSE Quality Fire Foam suitable for use with either fresh or salt water.

                                    PROPORTIONING                                                  

 FIREHOUSE Quality Fire Foam  3%-6% LT AR-AFFF is designed for use with the following types of proportioning equipment.

• Fixed or portable in-line foam eductors.

• In-Line Balanced Pressure (ILBP) Pump Pressure proportioning skid.

• Bladder tank Balanced Pressure proportioning foam systems.

• Around-the-Pump foam proportioners. 

                                   DISCHARGE DEVICES                                         

 FIREHOUSE Quality Fire Foam 3%-6% LT AR-AFFF is suitable for use with the following discharge devices.

• Foam Chambers.

• Air-aspirating and non air-aspirating sprinklers or spray nozzles.

• Standard water fog nozzles for handlines and monitors.

• Air-aspirating foam nozzles.

• Foam makers for use with either floating roof storage foam tanks or Dike/Bund protection systems.

• High back pressure foam makers for subsurface base injection system (Class B Hydrocarbon type fuels only.)

                                FOAMING PROPERTIES                                                

Aspirating type discharge devices typically generate expansion ratios between 6-10 to 1 when 3%-6% LT ARAFFF fire foam  is mixed with water at the correct ratio. Non-aspirating type devices will typically generate expansion ratios of between 2-4 to 1. When the fire fighting foam expansion ratios are dictated by the type of discharge device, flow rate and discharge pressure.

DESIGN INFORMATION    

The firefighting foam cannot be used in subsurface applications with polar solvent type fuels.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES AT 77F (25C)

3. ETHANOL                                    0.10 gpm/sq. ft.
4. ACETONE                                   0.14 gpm/sq. ft.
5. METHYL ETHYL KETONE            0.10 gpm/sq. ft.
6. ETHYL ACETATE                         0.10 gpm/sq. ft.
7. MTBE                                          0.15 gpm/sq. ft.

       ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT     

 FIREHOUSE Quality Fire Foam 3%-6% LT AR-AFFF is biodegradable, low in toxicity and can be treated in sewage treatment plants.  Refer to Manufactures Technical Bulletin regarding foam products and the environment.

     STORAGE      

If kept in the original manufacturer’s supplied container and stored within the temperature range of 0°F - 120°F (- 18°C - 49°C), a shelf life of between 20-25 years can be expected. When stored in other than the manufacturer’s supplied container, check with FIREHOUSE Quality Fire Foam manufacture for storage guidelines.  If the AR-AFFF is to be stored in an atmospheric type foam concentrate storage tank whether on mobile apparatus or stationary, limit the airspace above the surface of the concentrate where possible and place a thin layer of quality mineral oil on the surface of the foam concentrate to minimize any effect from evaporation.
