THUNDERSTORM FC-601A ATC AR-AFFF SPECIAL PURPOSE FOAMING AGENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING 6% SOLUTION

Application.

ThunderStorm FC-601A foaming agent is designed to extinguish Class B2 fires of standard fuels and Class B fires of polar fuels. Moreover, due to the high wetting capacity of the foaming agent, it can be recommended for extinguishing Class A fires. Foam production does not require high energy consumption, which makes it possible to use both equipped and non-equipped foam generators. To increase the fire extinguishing efficiency, it is recommended to use the foam generator together with PKW™ extinguishing powder, in any sequence. When suppressing large fires with the simultaneous use of two extinguishing agents, it is recommended to use Hydro-Chem™ technology equipment. When extinguishing polar liquids using two fire extinguishing agents, it should be noted that the powder consumption is quite high and the polymer membrane can sink under the surface of the burning liquid under its weight.

Extinguishing time

For ThunderStorm FC-601A alcohol-resistant foaming agent, the extinguishing time is determined according to Underwriters Laboratories Standard 162 (latest edition) and tests conducted by Williams Fire and Hazard Control. The UL methodology provides for determining the effectiveness of the foaming agent by the extinguishing time of heptane and isopropyl alcohol, and the Williams Fire and Hazard Control test methodology is based on the extinguishing time of unleaded gasoline. The ThunderStorm FC-601A foaming agent showed excellent results in all tests, including the extinguishing time of high-octane gasoline.

Foam formation

When using almost any conventional foam generator, the multiplicity of foam obtained from a solution of foaming agent in fresh, salt, or particularly hard water is determined only by the characteristics of the foam generator. Depending on the type of blower and flow rate, when using a blower-type foam generator, the foam multiplicity ranges from 5 to 10. When using conventional foam generators, hand-held spray and water-foam barrels, and standard sprinkler heads, the foam multiplicity is from 2 to 4. When using medium-foam generators, the multiplicity of the resulting foam is determined primarily by the type of generator and its operating conditions and ranges from 40 to 80.
