3% X 3% PLUS Alcohol-Resistant Synthetic Foam Concentrate
Introducing Dwight’s Shield Series 3% X 3% PLUS alcohol-resistant synthetic foam concentrate. Designed specifically for use with many existing extinguishing equipment systems to extinguish Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel and deep-seated Class A fires; while being compatible with fresh, sea and brackish water. This biodegradable and non-persistent fluorine-free foam concentrate is a combination of hydrocarbon surfactants and additives that delivers excellent foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn back properties for attacking and securing both shallow and fuel in-depth fires. Many fluorine-free foams are viscous and often show viscosity increase when in contact with water. Dwight’s Shield Series creates very stable foams with similar viscosity to traditional AR-AFFF foams. This significantly improves storage, handling and long-term stability. Dwight’s formula is free of Siloxanes and secret proprietary blends that include watchlist Prop 65 chemicals seen in other “fluorine-free” foams on the market.
Smart Foam Technology, Trusted Results
Many fluorine-free foams suffer from high viscosity and instability when exposed to water. Dwight’s Shield Series overcomes these challenges with a balanced viscosity profile, closely mimicking traditional AR-AFFF for superior storage, pumping, and deployment.
