Fomtec ARC 3x3 Ultra is a high efficiency multi purpose film forming foam (3x3). The main advantage of Fomtec ARC 3x3 Ultra is the 3% induction ratio on ALL class B fires, including polar solvents, in fresh or seawater.Characteristics for film forming foam are that it spreads rapidly across a fire. As a result, it is highly effective against hydrocarbon fires. Adding special polymers ensures it is also highly effective against polar solvents.The low surface tension of the water foam concentrate solution enables the aqueous film, which is heavier than the burning liquid, to float on top of the hydrocarbon liquid surface.When applied on polar solvents a polymeric membrane makes it possible for the foam blanket to extinguish effectively. This works also on foam destroying liquids such as MTBE..
