US Foam 3% AFFF Foam

Fire containment has never been so easy. Or foamy.

Product:

U.S. Foam 3% AFFF is a synthetic fire fighting foam concentrate designed for use on non-polar, hydrocarbon hazards when proportioned with water and applied with conventional foam or water/fog equipment. U.S. Foam 3% AFFF provides excellent control and extinguishment of Class B fires by spreading a vapor-sealing film over the liquid fuel. This vapor seal inhibits reflash even when the foam blanket is ruptured and also allows the product to be used to secure non-ignited spills. U.S. Foam 3% AFFF provides excellent penetrating and wetting qualities when used on Class A fires. This is important when extinguishing deep-seated fires in wood, paper, tires, and ordinary combustables.
