Foam Fire System · Fixed Fire Suppression

Technical data from manufacturer or class sources · not yet verified by a person​‍‌​‌‌‌​⁠​​‍​⁠‍‍⁠​‌‌

The foam concentrate category includes SKUM ARC 3x3 UG, a versatile solution designed by Skum/Tyco for tackling Class B and polar solvent fires. This alcohol-resistant aqueous film-forming foam (AR-AFFF) combines fluoro- and hydrocarbon-surfactant technologies to offer superior fire suppression in various environments. The low viscosity of the SKUM ARC 3X3 UG Concentrate allows it to be easily proportioned across a range of firefighting equipment, including in-line eductors and balanced pressure systems, making it suitable for use aboard ARFF vehicles and emergency response units. With its non-Newtonian properties, this concentrate can be effectively applied with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge devices, providing efficient foam expansion ratios depending on the application. The formulation is environmentally mindful, containing short-chain C-6 fluorochemicals that do not produce PFOS or break down into PFOA, meeting EPA 2010/15 and ECHA Directive (EU) 2017/1000 standards.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
