Chemguard 6% Afff Foam 5 Gallon Pail

CHEMGUARD 6% AFFF FOAM (5 GALLON PAIL)

Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF)

Chemguard 6% AFFF is a specially formulated, synthetic, aqueous film forming foam concentrate. A vapor suppressing aqueous film is formed by the foam solution draining from the expanded foam blanket. It is intended for use at a proportioning rate of 6% (6 parts AFFF concentrate to 94 parts water) on Class B hydrocarbon type fuels such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel, etc. Chemguard 6% AFFF is not intended for use on fuels, which are polar solvent/water miscible such as alcohols, ketones, esters, etc.

FOAM PROPERTIES
Aspirating type discharge devices typically generate expansion ratios between 6-10 to 1 when 6% AFFF is mixed with water at the correct ratio. Non-aspirating type devices will typically generate expansion ratios of between 2-4 to 1. Expansion ratios are dictated by the type of discharge device, flow rate and discharge pressure.
