Details
Chemguard 6% AFFF Foam (5 Gallon Pail)
Replacement:
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.
Features:
- U.L. Listed, Foam Liquid Concentrates
- U.L. Canada Listed
- Performance to ICAO, Doc. # 9137, Part 1, Chapter 8, Level “B” verified
- U.L. recommended application rate on hydrocarbon type fuel is .10/gpm ft²
- Suitable for use with either fresh or salt water
- Excellent wetting characteristics when used in combating Class “A” fuel fires
- Suitable for use with both air aspirating foam and standard water fog nozzles
- Suitable for use with deluge or closed head foam water sprinkler systems
- If inadvertently frozen, thawing will render product completely serviceable again
- Suitable for use with carbon steel, fiberglass, polyethylene or stainless steel
- Chemguard 6% AFFF is not compatible with galvanized pipe or fittings in an undiluted form.
- Suitable for use with dry chemical extinguishing agents

- Flammable Liquid Containment Areas
- Mobile Equipment
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.
