Aberdeen Foam 3% Training Foam
3% Fluorine Free Synthetic Training Foam Concentrate (TF)
A synthetic, fluorine free concentrated foaming agent formulated for use in fire training exercises.
Designed to simulate the foaming performance of an AFFF with either fresh or salt water, but without the environmental impact of fluorosurfactant-based foams.
Not suitable for use as a fire fighting foam concentrate.
- Fluorosurfactant free synthetic base formulation.
- Readily biodegradable with low toxicity to marine life.
- Ideal for use where regular fire fighting foam training is required, such as the Offshore installations, refineries and airports.
- Meet European Commission recommendation for the immediate withdrawal of fluorinated foams used for training exercises: find out more here.
Environmental Impact
- Non-persistent in the environment.
- Fluorosurfactant free.
- Butyl carbitol free.
- Readily biodegradable.
- Separator friendly.
- Meets EU2019/1021 - complies with EU and UK PFOA restrictions.
- Low toxicity to aquatic organisms.
Applications
For use in fire training exercises only.
Ideal for use in areas where regular fire training is critical, such as
- Offshore platforms and helidecks
- Petrochemical refining, processing and storage facilities
- Marine terminals, power stations and road / rail loading racks
- Rapid Intervention Vehicles and aircraft hangar systems
Produced training foams can also be used as wetting agents for combating Class A fires (i.e.tyres, paper, wood) and for providing a vapour suppression blanket on hydrocarbon spills.
