                                   PROPORTIONING                                                  

The FIREHOUSE Quality 3% or 6% FFFP concentrate is suitable for use with the following types of proportioning equipment.

• Fixed or portable in-line eductors
• In-line balanced pressure and pump pressure proportioning skid
• Bladder tank balanced pressure proportioning systems

                                    DISCHARGE DEVICES                                         

The FIREHOUSE recommends that 3% Fluoroprotein be used only through air-aspirating discharge devices such as:

• Foam Chambers
• High back pressure foam maker (subsurface)
• Air-aspirating foam nozzles
• Air-aspirating sprinkler heads and spray nozzles

These types of discharge devices will give optimum performance, expansion and drainage times.

                                    APPLICATIONS                                                     

The FIREHOUSE Quality 3% FFFP will provide quality protection for a wide range of hazardous areas such as:

• Crash Fire Rescue

• Processing/Storage facilities
• Docks/Marine tankers
• Flammable liquid containment areas
• Mobile equipment

                                FOAMING  PROPERTIES                                         

The foaming properties/expansion will vary depending on the type of discharge device, inlet pressure and flow rate. When tested to U.L. specifications and used with an air-aspirating nozzle, the expansion ratio should be at least 7 to 1 or higher with a 25% drain time of at least 5 minutes. When used through a standard water fog nozzle an expansion ratio of between 2 - 4 to 1 should be obtained with a 25% drain time of at least 2 minutes.
