FireAde AFFF Foam Physical Characteristics FireAde AFFF Foam is a pre-formulated liquid concentrate that is water based with a nearly neutral pH value.
Induction Rates: 1%
3% and 6% Environmental Characteristics FireAde AFFF Foam has been designed and formulated for modern day fire fighting application and equipment; it also addresses many problems with today’s AFFF Foams causing major environmental problems and human health problems. FireAde AFFF Foam has undergone extensive Environment testing with Private, Government and Public Laboratories. FireAde AFFF Foam received the Highest Environment Classification after an 8 Month TUV/ WGK Environmental Study Conducted in Germany. All testing was performed in compliance with the Swiss Ordinance relating to Good Laboratory Practice, adopted February 2, 2000 (TRS 813.016.5). This Ordinance is based on the OECD Principals of Good Laboratory Practice as revised in 1997 and adopted November 26,1997 by decision of the OECD Council (C97)1 86/sinaI). These principals are regulated and specified by regulatory authorities throughout the European Community, The United States of America (EPA and FDA), and Japan (MHLW, MAFF and METI). In order for FireAde AFFF Foam to receive all certifications (listed below), the study plan and the full Environmental report had to undergo an audit by the Quality Assurance Unit. The dates of the QAU Inspections started on May 16, 2002 with the Study Plan; on May 17, 2002 the Process Based; and July 1, 2002 Actual Report. Quality Assurance was signed off by S. Van Dongen, July 5, 2002. QAU RCC Study Number: 843675. FireAde AFFF Foam Receives the WGK I Classification The WGK 1 Classification is the highest Environmental Classification that any chemical can receive. The Swiss Accreditation Service and Swiss Federal Office of Metrology also tested FireAde AFFF Foam in compliance with the European Standard EN 45001 under ACCREDITATION number STS 085. FireAde AFFF Foam was also certified under the GLP Compliance through the Swiss GLP Monitoring Authorities, which inspected the RCC Ltd, Switzerland testing facility by the Federal Office of Public Health, The Swiss Agency for the Environmental, Forests and Landscape, also the lntercantonal Office for the Control of Medicines with respect to the compliance with the Swiss Legislation of Good Laboratory Practice. The inspection found that the testing facility was operating in compliance with the Swiss Ordinance relating to Good Laboratory Practice (RS 8 13.016.5) at the time they were inspected. Tests consisted of Toxicology; Analytical and Clinical Chemistry; Environmental Toxicity on Aquatic and Terrestrial Organisms; Behavior in Water, Soil, Air; Bioaccumulation; Physical-Chemical Testing; Residue Studies; Microbiology; Animal Metabolism; Acute Immobilization of Daphnia Magna; Determination of Acute Fish Toxicity OECD 203 and Other Critical Environmental Testing was established for FireAde AFFF All testing was carried out on 100% concentrate of but, as FireAde AFFF Foam is regularly used in dilutions of less than 6%, there is no doubt that it is Environmentally Friendly. Note: It is very important to understand that any AFFF Foam manufacturer can claim to have environmentally safe foam. You must insist on seeing the actual Environment Documentation from a Certified, Regulated and Specified EPA and FDA Testing laboratory that meets the entire Good Laboratory Practice Requirements. If the AFFF Foam manufacturer furnishes you with the test results from a certified laboratory, request to see their Official QAU RCC Study Number along with these results. The QUA is the Quality Assurance Unit. In order to receive all certification that the AFFF Foam is Environmentally Safe, the study plan and full environmental report has to under go a Third party AUDIT by the Quality Assurance Unit. Without a QAU RCC Study Number (which can be double checked by the testing laboratory) you do no have an Official Test Report. NFPA 11 (National Fire Protection Agency Standard for Low Expansion Foam) FireAde AFFF Foam fully conforms to the NFPA11, FireAde AFFF Foam exceeds all NFPA requirements for Low Expansion Foams. UL Standard 162 & ULC-S564 FireAde AFFF Foam has successfully completed the UL 162 & ULC-S564 (Latest Revision). Underwriters Laboratories successfully tested FireAde AFFF Foam Concentrate to the requirements contained in UL Standard 162, “Standard for Air-Foam Equipment and Liquid Concentrates.” To receive a UL 162 and ULC-S564 Listing, the following tests had to be performed successfully: 1. Foam Quality Tests Tension of Foam 3. Class “B”
Heptane Fire Test Lloyds Register Compliance FireAde AFFF Foam has undergone extensive fire performance testing with the Lloyds Register at the Civil Aviation Authority testing location located in Singapore Changi Airport Fire Station Number I. FireAde AFFF Foam has been found to fully meet all Lloyds Register specification requirements which in return have been issued a Certificate Number. FireAde AFFF Foam meets the requirements of the ICAO fire test for Class “B” Foams. Extinguishing Test was carried out in accordance to the Specification of the International Civil Aviation Organization Doc. 9137-AN/898 3rd Edition — 1990 Chapter 8. Performance Level B was applied by using a UNI86” Foam Nozzle (Pressure 7.0 Bar, Flow Rate 11.4L/ Mi), 4.5m2 Circular Fire Tray and Kerosene Fuel (on water substrate). The test was performed outdoors with the air temperature at 30 Degrees C. and the wind velocity at a maximum of 6 knots. [ Top ] [ FireAde AFFF Foam Information ]
