Orchidee 6% AFFF Foam Concentrate - 1000L

SCOPE

• Orchidex AFFF 6% UL is a Top Performance synthetic firefighting foam concentrate designed for use on non-polar, hydrocarbon hazards. When proportioned with water and applied with conventional foam or water/fog equipment.
• Orchidex AFFF 6% UL provides excellent control and extinguishments of Class B fires by spreading a vapour sealing film over the liquid fuel. This vapour seal inhibits re-flash even the foam blanket is ruptured and also allows the product to be used to secure non-ignited spills. 
• Orchidex AFFF 6% UL provides excellent penetrating and wetting qualities when used on Class A fires. This is important when extinguishing deep-seated fires in wood, paper, rubber tires and other ordinary combustibles.

Applications:

• Orchidex AFFF 6% UL can be used with conventional foam equipment with fresh, sea or brackish water.
• Self-inducting foam nozzles and foam nozzles with in-line inductors are among the most common types of hardware for application. 
• In addition to its use in aspirating foam equipment Orchidex AFFF 6% UL can be dispensed effectively through non-aspirating equipment including fog nozzles, water spray devices and standard sprinklers.
• Orchidex AFFF 6% UL may be applied to fires simultaneously with dry chemical firefighting agents as the two are compatible.

Features:

• Effectiveness: Rapid extinguishment reduces the chances of dangerous incidents and reduces the risk to property and equipment. 
• Orchidex AFFF 6% UL also prevents re-flash and burn-back, which are major causes of injuries. The securing action of Orchidex AFFF 66% ULminimizes re-flash and re-ignition during clean-up of flammable liquid spills.
• Reliability:  Orchidex AFFF 3% UL can be stored for virtually an indefinite period of time in approved equipment and systems. NFPA recommends annual inspection of all foam systems.

Economics:

• Orchidex AFFF 6% UL offers fast extinguishment, so less agent is required in training and actual fire emergencies.

Storage and Design:

• Orchidex AFFF 6% UL provides maximum economies in storage space and design of fixed systems.

The foam should be tested for its physical properties and specifications after 5 years from the production date, and thereafter retested each year. Freezing and thawing have no adverse effect on the product performance, though a slight stratification may result; in that case, a moderate mixing before use is advisable.
