AFFF Fire Fighting Foam Concentrate 6% – Fironex FX-60
Fironex FX-60 is an aqueous film forming foam concentrate consisting of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants blended with various solvents, preservatives and stabilizers. The foam forms an aqueous film that rapidly cuts off the oxygen supply and knocks down the fire. The expanded foam, from which the film is drained, forms a stable blanket that suppresses the release of flammable vapors and cools down the fuel surface extinguishing the fire and preventing re-ignition. The Foam Concentrate Contains special type of fluorochemical surfactant (C6 technology), does not contains any PFOS, PFOA or its derivatives.

Storage and Handling
Stored in original unbroken packaging the product will have a long shelf life. Shelf life in excess of 07 years will be found in temperate climates. As with all foams, shelf life will be dependent on storage temperatures and conditions. Since electrochemical corrosion can occur at joints between different metals when they are in contact with foam concentrate, only one type of metal should be used for pipelines, fittings, pumps and tanks employed in the storage of foam concentrates. We recommend following our guidelines for storage and handling ensuring favorable storage conditions. + 1.7°C ~ + 49°C.
