Aquafilm ™AF-3U is specifically designed to fight effectively all type of Class B fires (Hydrocarbon) being also very adequate
to fight Class A fires.
Its extraordinary AFFF properties give this product an effective and rapid knockdown of the fire when fighting non miscible
flammable liquids.

Aquafilm ™AF-3U uses very specific fluorinated and hydrocarbon surfactants in order to allow a good formation of an aqueous
film on the surface of most hydrocarbon fuels, suppressing vapour leaks and preventing its contact with the oxygen and provi-
ding an excelling sealing on hot surfaces. Its formulation allows a great oil repellence, fluidity and burnback resistance.

It is a perfect tool to fight fires on storage tanks, bund, process Aquafilm ™AF-3U dilution rate is 3% in fresh or sea water
areas, loading racks, power stations, airports or marine termi- (3% foam concentrate + 97% water). It may be proportioned

Aquafilm ™AF-3U is designed to be used with low expansion
foam equipment (nozzles, monitors, foam chambers, etc.), Aquafilm is highly biodegradable and it is manufactured ac-
non-aspirating devices (water spray nozzles and standard cording to “C6 fluorocompounds” fulfilling the 2010/2015 EPA
