Product Technical Overview
Fomtec FP 3% AR Fluoroprotein Foam Concentrate
Fomtec FP 3% AR Fluoroprotein Foam Concentrate is an alcohol-resistant firefighting foam manufactured by Dafo Fomtec AB in Sweden. This specialist FP-ARC foam combines a protein-based component with fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants, polymers, solvents and stabilisers to provide fire suppression performance for selected flammable-liquid hazards.
Designed for both hydrocarbon fuels and polar solvents, Fomtec FP 3% AR creates a stable foam blanket over suitable fuel surfaces. Its alcohol-resistant formulation helps the foam blanket withstand the effects of water-miscible fuels, making it an option for fire protection systems designed for these hazards.
Key Features of Fomtec FP 3% AR
- Alcohol-resistant fluoroprotein foam: Designed for selected hydrocarbon and polar solvent fire risks.
- 3% proportioning rate: Intended for use at the manufacturer's specified concentration.
- Stable foam blanket: Helps cover the fuel surface, suppress flames and reduce the risk of reignition.
- Polar solvent protection: The special fluoropolymer helps form a barrier on compatible water-miscible fuel surfaces.
- Low- and medium-expansion applications: Suitable for compatible foam-generating equipment and system designs.
- Class A and Class B applications: The manufacturer identifies suitability for specified fires involving ordinary combustible materials and flammable liquids.
- Marine fire protection: The product documentation lists relevant IMO and Marine Equipment Directive (MED) approvals.
- Swedish manufacture: Produced by Dafo Fomtec AB, a specialist firefighting foam manufacturer.
Applications of Fomtec FP 3% AR Firefighting Foam
Fomtec FP 3% AR is designed for professional fire protection applications where alcohol-resistant fluoroprotein foam is specified. Potential applications include:
- Fuel storage and handling facilities
- Oil and petroleum processing sites
- Industrial plants handling flammable liquids
- Chemical facilities using compatible polar solvents
- Marine fire suppression systems requiring applicable approvals
- Tank protection and fixed foam systems designed for this concentrate
- Emergency response equipment with compatible foam proportioning and discharge devices
The correct foam selection depends on the fuel involved, application method, required performance and applicable fire protection standards. Always confirm suitability with the manufacturer's technical documentation and the system designer.
How Alcohol-Resistant Fluoroprotein Foam Works
Fluoroprotein foam uses a protein-based foam structure combined with fluorinated components to support fire suppression. When applied correctly to a suitable hydrocarbon fire, Fomtec FP 3% AR creates a foam blanket that helps separate the fuel from oxygen and reduce the release of flammable vapours.
For polar solvents such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and acetone, the alcohol-resistant formulation uses a special fluoropolymer barrier to help protect the foam blanket from the fuel's foam-destroying effects.
These properties make alcohol-resistant fluoroprotein foam relevant to selected Class B fire suppression systems. Performance depends on correct proportioning, application technique, equipment compatibility and the specific fuel involved.
