EXTINGUISHING PERFORMANCES:
ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC foam concentrate is efficient against aviation fire risks (such as fuel spills, landing gear fire, engine fire, fuselage fire, aircraft hangar fire). Indeed, it has high performances on hydrocarbon fires such as diesel, kerosene, JET A, JET A1 and Gasoline. They are primary hazards at military installations!
ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC provides high extinguishing performance like fire control, fast extinguishment combined with excellent burnback resistance.
Moreover, the foam forms a foam blanket which spreads quickly above the fuel to seal the spill surface and cuts off oxygen supply, suppresses fuel vapors and prevents reignition.
The ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC foam sticks on vertical surfaces as plane body and fuselage to create thermal insulation which allows immediate protection and passengers evacuation.The foam blanket has long drainage time.
Advanced fire tests at nominal, half and double strength were conducted on ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC proving effectiveness in all situations.
Finally, this Newtonian foam concentrate (low viscosity) is compatible with all foam dosing systems (ARFF fire vehicles, monitors, nozzles…) and automated equipment. No need to change installations switching from AFFF to ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC.
This non-fluorinated foam resists foam contamination by hydrocarbons.
ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC is compatible with dry chemical. Foam produces resist contact with dry chemical powder.
ENVIRONMENT:
A lot of extensive biodegradability and toxicity tests were conducted to validate ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC is harmless for the environment and easily biodegradable.
ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC is an environmentally-friendly fire fighting foam: biodegradable, totally fluorine-free and silicone/siloxane-free.
Completely free of fluorine derivatives (PFOS, no PFAS intentionally added, 6:2 FTS…) recognized as Persistent in the environment, Bio accumulable and Toxic for living organism, ECOPOL A3+ MIL-SPEC Fluorine-Free Foam meets MIL-SPEC regulation (Military Specification – MIL-PRF-32725) . It is officially listed on QPL.
ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC also meets airport fire safety policy on minimizing environmental impact.
Applications:
ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC aviation foam has been specially formulated for U.S military Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) risks and fires such as: engine, landing gear, fuselage, cabin, helicopter, fuel spill, fuel line, aircraft hangar, terminal, hydrocarbon storage tank… and designed for U.S. military land-based operation.
Aircraft fire services can use ECOPOL A3+ MILSPEC on direct application by the airport fire truck monitor and nozzles.
