Details
Solberg RE-HEALING RF3 3% Fluorine Free Class B Foam Concentrate
SOLBERG® RE‑HEALING™ RF3 foam concentrate is an innovative environmentally sustainable fluorosurfactant and fluoropolymer-free foam concentrate used to effectively extinguish Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires. Proportioned at 3% solution, SOLBERG RE‑HEALING RF3 foam concentrate can be used in fresh, salt or brackish water. SOLBERG RE‑HEALING RF3 foam possesses excellent burn back resistance due to its remarkable flow and rapid resealing characteristics. SOLBERG RE‑HEALING foam concentrates are formulated using a new high performance synthetic foam technology to replace traditional AFFF, FFFP foam concentrates and older protein and fluoroprotein foams. SOLBERG RE-HEALING RF3 foam concentrate contains no sediments. SOLBERG RE‑HEALING RF3 foam concentrate is intended for use on Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires. It is not intended for use on Class B polar solvent fuels. The foam can be used to prevent re-ignition of a liquid spill and control hazardous vapors. On Class A fuels, SOLBERG RE‑HEALING RF3 foam will improve extinguishment in deep-seated fires. Foam discharge devices such as air aspirating, as well as, non-air aspirating equipment, including standard fire sprinkler heads, can be used to obtain maximum results. The product is mixed 3 part foam concentrate to 97 parts water. It may also be used as a 3% pre-mix solution. SOLBERG RE‑HEALING RF3 foam is compatible with most dry powder (chemical) agents.
