Foam, fluorine free, synthetic, 3%, IMO 1312/670, 20L, #9372

Full description

STHAMEX MARINE 3% F-20 is a synthetic, fluorine free firefighting foam concentrate from the Dr. Sthamer foam product line. The Synthetic 3% fluorine free foam is specifically designed to  replace fluor protein- and AFFF foam agents for marine applications to firefight non-polar liquids and solid combustibles.

STHAMEX MARINE 3% F-20 has a low viscosity why it is suitable to be used with existing proportioners and dosing foam application hardware like self-induction branch pipe, -foam applicator or -foam inductor.

STHAMEX MARINE 3% F-20 is IMO 1312 / IMO 0670, MED B& D, ICAO B approved, therefore approved o to be used as fire extinguish agent at vessel deck, engine room, enclosed spaces and helidecks.

STHAMEX MARINE 3% F-20 is recommended to protect areas at Tankers, drilling platforms, offshore riggs.

STHAMEX MARINE 3% F-20  forms an extremely stable, vapor tight foam blanket and free flowing why the foam is highly effective as a low expansion extinguish agent on non-polar liquid fires.

STHAMEX MARINE 3% F-20 as a high expansion foam, works as a inside air foam with hot fumes ,which is present in the (engine ) room and as well with other available foam systems and portable equipment to generate low- and high expansion foam to extinguish class A - and B fires.

Important notification:

When replacing a PFAS added foam type to a Synthetic Fluorine Free foam type (SFFF), the storage tank and pipes require special cleaning to avoid PFAS remaining in the system and will contaminate the new SFFF foam that overtime can sorb any PFAS left. PFAS can be absorbed by tank seals and released after storage of the new foam.

Solution:

Reach out to your VIKING contact. VIKING offers support for cleaning of your foam system, disposal of the old foam and foam analysis on PFAS/PFOS contents.

When replacing the existing foam compound by a fluorine free extinguish foam, it is recommended to complete corresponding tests and review of the system hardware. It’s advised to perform tests and technical review in advance of a dry docking, due to time involved for technical assistance, calculation, lead time of foam system parts and new foam compound.
