Quick Overview
Bio-Ex Filmopol 3
FILMOPOL 3 is a fluorosynthetic foam AFFF-AR 3X3. The film-forming property AFFF gives to FILMOPOL 3 a high speed of extinction on hydrocarbon fires thanks to the aqueous film which insulates the fuel surface from the air. The Alcohol-Resistant property produces a thick layer – skin – if applied on any kind of fuels. The peculiar nature of our fluoropolymer gives outstanding burnback resistance.
Specifications
Applications
FILMOPOL 3 can be used with tap water, sea water and brackish water at 3% on hydrocarbon and polar solvents fires as well as on special chemicals : acids, HF, HCl, amines, Butadiene, CS2. It is compatible with dry extinguishing powders and it is suitable with all kind of known equipment.
Pseudoplastic
FILMOPOL 3 is pseudoplastic: its viscosity decreases when it is agitated. This property authorizes its use even at low temperature and low pressure.
Foaming power
FILMOPOL 3 is usable at Low, Medium and High Expansion.
Fuel fires
FILMOPOL 3 is efficient on hydrocarbon and polar solvents fires.
Environment
FILMOPOL 3 is easily biodegradable.
