AR-AFFF Alcohol Resistant Foam - 20lt

This high quality alcohol resistant AFFF (aqueous film forming foam) concentrate is supplied in a 20lt drum. The concentrate requires 94 parts water to 6 parts concentrate. The foam concentrate is ideal for refilling foam / air fire extinguishers and for use with fire hoses (with appropriate equipment).

Alcohol resistant foam is different to normal AFFF in that it contains a polymer that forms a barrier between the burning surface and the foam to prevent the foam being broken down by any alcohols in the burning liquid.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT FLOURINE FREE AFFF AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE SOLD INTO YOUR STATE. A number of Australian states have now fully banned traditional AFFF and require the use of Flourine Free AFFF concentrate. We will contact you if this is the case and advise on availability and cost of Flourine free AFFF
