ANSULITE® 1% Freeze-Protected AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming) Foam
Concentrate is formulated from specialty fluorochemical and hydrocarbon
surfactants along with solvents. It is transported and stored as a
concentrate to provide ease of use and considerable savings in weight
and volume.
It is intended for use as a 1% proportioned solution in fresh, salt or
hard
water. It may also be used and stored as a 1% premixed solution in
fresh or potable water only. The correct proportioning or mixture ratio
is
1 part concentrate to 99 parts of water.
Three fire extinguishment mechanisms are in effect when using
ANSULITE 1% Freeze-Protected AFFF Concentrate. First, an aqueous
film is formed which works to help prevent the release of fuel vapor.
Second, the foam blanket from which the film-forming liquid drains
effectively
excludes oxygen from the fuel surface. Third, the water content of
the foam provides a cooling effect.
