Fire extinguishing foam concentrate PLUREX MD3

PLUREX MD3 is a synthetic multipurpose foam concentrate based upon fatty alcohols, alkyl sulphates and butyl carbitol. Many fire tests during test programs have shown that it forms stable foam blanket on burning non-polar solvents. It also forms stable low, medium and high expansion foam which rapidly fills large spaces. PLUREX MD3 foam Concentrate can be used to produce foam with expansion ratios ranging from 8:1 to 1000:1, depending upon the type of equipment and its operating pressure. The recommended proportioning is 3% (3 litres of PLUREX MD3 with 97 litres water). The performance of PLUREX MD3 foam concentrate when used at high expansion will vary depending upon the performance characteristics of the equipment. Expansion ratios through high expansion generators typically are between 200:1 and 1000:1. For this reason, it is important for the proper design of a high expansion system that the PLUREX MD3 foam Concentrate be specifically tested with the foam generators. Medium expansion foam generators typically deliver expansion ratios between 50:1 and 200:1. PLUREX MD3 can be used by most conventional foam equipment such as: • Balance pressure pump proportioning equipment • Bladder tank and related proportioners • Around-the-pump proportioners • Fixed and portable In-line venturi type inductors • Fixed or handline nozzles with fixed induction/pick up tubes
