Enviro ARK

Fomtec Enviro ARK is a novel multi-purpose alcohol resistant firefighting foam concentrate totally free from fluorinated surfactants and polymers (PFAS). The unique formulation of Fomtec Enviro ARK enables the foam to rapidly cover burning surfaces and control the fire. As a result, it is effective against hydrocarbon fires and with the presence of special polymers, it is also very effective against polar solvents.

The fire suppression mechanism

The fire suppression mechanism of Fomtec Enviro ARK is utilizing the foam blankets’ ability to block oxygen supply to the fuel and the high water content cools the fuel surface reducing the evaporation of flammable vapours. Additionally, the foam blanket prevents the reignition of an extinguished fuel surface. When applied on polar solvents, a polymeric membrane is formed and makes it possible for the foam blanket to extinguish effectively. It also works on severe foam destroying liquids such as MTBE.

Application

Fomtec Enviro ARK is intended for use on class B hydrocar-bon fuel fires such as oil, Diesel and Gasoline well as polar solvents such as IPA, Acetone, Ethanol, and Methanol, as well as class A fires such as wood, paper, textiles etc.
Fomtec Enviro ARK is especially suited whenever a
fluorine-free (PFAS free) alternative with high fire perfor-mance is required. Fomtec Enviro ARK is tested for use in sprinklers. Suitable for mobile firefighting by use of aspirating foam discharge devices such as low and medium expansion foam branch pipes and monitors, where application rates and technique can be adjusted to the specifics of each incident. Or in systems designed for use with the product based on recommended minimum application rates, application duration and discharge devices.

Enviro by Fomtec

The Fomtec Enviro range comprises an extensive range of non-PFAS based foams suitable for use Emergency Response missions and System applications. Enviro foam concentrates are available for class A, class B fire hazards and products are avail-able for low, medium, and high expansion discharge devices.
