Application
SKUM NFF 3x3 UL201 Foam Concentrate is intended for use on both types of Class B fires: hydrocarbon fuels with low water solubility (crude oils, gasolines, diesel fuels, aviation fuels) and polar solvent fuels with appreciable water solubility (methyl and ethyl alcohol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone). It may also be used in conjunction with dry chemical agents to provide even greater fire suppression performance.
It is well-suited for municipal and industrial response to spills and limited-scale Type III hazards, as well as for foam systems equipped with Type II discharge devices. Typical applications include:
- Industrial chemical and petroleum processing facilities
- Truck/rail loading and unloading facilities
- Flammable liquid containment areas
- Mobile equipment fire protection
