3% AFFF

Foam Concentrate

Chemguard 3% AFFF is a specially formulated, • Bladder tank balanced pressure proportioning

synthetic, aqueous film forming foam concentrate. systems
A vapor suppressing aqueous film is formed by the
• Around the pump proportioners
foam solution draining from the expanded foam
blanket. It is intended for use at a proportioning • Handline, air-aspirating nozzles with fixed
rate of 3% (3 parts AFFF concentrate to 97 parts eductor pickup tube
water) on Class B hydrocarbon type fuels such as
gasoline, kerosene, diesel, etc. Chemguard 3% DISCHARGE DEVICES
AFFF is not intended for use on fuels, which are
polar solvent/water miscible such as alcohols, • Foam Chambers
ketones, esters, etc.

AFFF is not compatible with galvanized pipe or
fittings in an undiluted form. FOAMING PROPERTIES
• Suitable for use with siliconized dry chemical
extinguishing agents Aspirating type discharge devices typically generate
expansion ratios between 6-10 to 1 when 3% AFFF
PROPORTIONING is mixed with water at the correct ratio. Non-
aspirating type devices will typically generate
• Fixed or portable in-line eductors expansion ratios of between 2-4 to 1. Expansion
• In-line balanced pressure and pump pressure ratios are dictated by the type of discharge devices,
proportioning skid flow rate and discharge pressure.
