Product Technical Overview
Fomtec AFFF 3% Foam Concentrate – Swedish Firefighting Foam
Fomtec AFFF 3% Foam Concentrate is an aqueous film-forming firefighting foam manufactured by Dafo Fomtec AB in Sweden. Designed for Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires, this AFFF foam concentrate helps control fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, oil and aviation fuel.
The formulation combines surfactants and other components to create an aqueous film on suitable fuel surfaces, alongside an expanded foam blanket. This helps suppress flames, limit the release of flammable vapours and reduce the risk of fire reignition when applied correctly.
Fomtec AFFF 3% is intended for compatible firefighting systems requiring a 3% proportioning rate. It is a solution for professional fire protection applications where the foam concentrate, discharge equipment and fire risk have been properly matched.

Applications of Fomtec AFFF 3% Firefighting Foam
Fomtec AFFF 3% is designed for specified fire protection applications involving flammable hydrocarbon liquids. Depending on the exact product variant, system design and applicable approvals, potential applications include:
- Fuel storage tanks and tank farms
- Oil and petroleum processing facilities
- Fuel loading and transfer areas
- Aviation fuel handling areas
- Industrial plants and process facilities
- Warehouses and waste or recycling facilities
- Offshore installations with compatible fire suppression systems
- Emergency response equipment using suitable foam proportioning and discharge devices
Correct foam selection is essential. Confirm the fuel type, required application rate, discharge method and system approval before using the concentrate.
How AFFF 3% Foam Works
AFFF stands for aqueous film-forming foam. When correctly proportioned and applied to a suitable hydrocarbon fire, the foam solution helps form an aqueous film while the expanded foam creates a covering blanket.
Together, these actions help suppress flames, restrict the release of flammable vapours and cool the fuel surface. Proper application and continued foam coverage are important to help prevent reignition.
Fomtec AFFF 3% should only be used with compatible equipment and according to the manufacturer's instructions and the approved fire protection system design.
