DESCRIPTION :

KV-LITE AR-AFFF is a foam concentrate containing polysaccharide, which forms a pseudo plastic film on the surface of the polar solvents.KV-LITE AR-AFFF forms a cohesive thin polymeric film at the interface between foam and the water soluble Polar solvents. This thin polysaccharide film protects the foam without destruction of aqueous film by polar solvents. The polymeric film has self-sealing characteristics whereby the film, if disturbed gets regenerated by itself. KV-LITE AR-AFFF forms an aqueous film like AFFF on the surface of hydrocarbon solvents. AR-AFFF is also known as ARC (Alcohol Resistant Concentrate), ATC (Alcohol Type Concentrate), AGFFF (Aqueous Gel Film Forming Foam), MPF (Multipurpose Foam) and UF (Universal Foam). It exhibits quick fire control and is ideal for prompt intervention.
