ATC AR/AFFF
Product:
Overview
Description:
ThunderStorm® ATC 1 x 3 Alcohol Resistant AFFF Concentrate is for-
mulated using a new and proprietary technology. The foam concentrate has a
dramatically reduced viscosity as compared to many other listed polar solvent
type AFFF concentrates on the market. This reduced viscosity enhances per-
formance in all types of foam proportioning equipment including in-line educ-
tors, balanced pressure systems, and built-in systems aboard CFR vehicles.
Additionally, the fire fighting performance of ThunderStorm® ATC is superior to other AR/AFFF foam concentrates.
ThunderStorm® ATC 1 x 3 Concentrate offers many distinct advantages including ease of use and represents a continued
commitment to quality by improving the fire performance of this type of agent on gasoline products while still maintaining
high performance levels on other hydrocarbons as well as polar fuels.
ThunderStorm® ATC 1 x 3 Concentrate is formulated from special fluorochemical and hydrocarbon surfactants, high
molecular weight polymers and solvents. It is transported and stored as a concentrate to provide ease of use and considerable
savings in weight and volume. It contains no PFOS or PFOA and is biodegradable. It is intended for use as a 1% proportioned
solution on hydrocarbon fuels at .10 minimum application density, and as a 3% proportioned solution on polar fuels at .13
minimum application density in fresh, salt or hard water. It may also be stored and used as a premixed solution in fresh potable
water.
There are three fire extinguishing mechanisms in effect when using ThunderStorm® ATC 1 x 3 solution on either a con-
ventional Class B hydrocarbon fuel such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc., or a Class B polar solvent (water miscible fuel) such as
methyl alcohol, acetone, etc. First, an aqueous film is formed in the case of a conventional hydrocarbon fuel, or a polymeric
membrane in the case of a polar solvent fuel. This film or membrane forms a barrier to help prevent the release of fuel vapor.
Second, regardless of the fuel type, a foam blanket is formed which excludes oxygen and from which drains the liquids that
form the film or the polymeric membrane. Third, the water content of the foam produces a cooling effect.
Proportioning
ThunderStorm® ATC 1 x 3 Alcohol Resistant Concentrate can be easily proportioned (at the correct dilution) using
most conventional proportioning equipment such as:
1. Hydro-Foam™ Nozzles
2. Balanced pressure and in-line balanced pressure pump proportioning equipment.
3. Balanced pressure bladder tank proportioners
4. Around-the-pump and Through-the-pump proportioners
5. Fixed or portable (in-line) venturi proportioners
6. Handline nozzles with fixed induction/pickup tubes
The minimum and maximum usable temperature for ThunderStorm® ATC Concentrate in this equipment is 35°F (2°C)
to 120°F (49°C) respectively.

Technical Information
Description
ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3 Alcohol Resistant AFFF Concentrate is
formulated using a new and proprietary technology. The foam con-
centrate has a dramatically reduced viscosity as compared to other
1X3 listed polar-solvent type AFFF concentrates on the market. This
reduced viscosity enhances performance in all types of foam pro-
portioning equipment including in-line eductors, balanced pressure
systems, and built-in systems aboard CFR vehicles.
Additionally, the fire fighting performance of ThunderStorm® ATC
is superior to other AR/AFFF foam concentrates. This includes the
blended gasoline additive Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE)
which is being used as an oxygenate to make gasoline cleaner burn-
ing. ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3 Concentrate offers many distinct
advantages for ease of use and represents a continued commitment
to quality by improving the fire performance of this type of agent on
gasoline products while still maintaining high performance levels on
other hydrocarbons and polar fuels.
ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3 Concentrate is formulated from special
fluorochemical and hydrocarbon surfactants, high molecular weight
polymers and solvents. It is transported and stored as a concentrate
to provide ease of use and considerable savings in weight and vol-
ume. It contains no PFOS or PFOA. It is intended for use as a 1%
proportioned solution on hydrocarbon fuels and as a 3% proportioned
solution on polar fuels in fresh, salt or hard water. It may also be
stored and used as a premixed solution in fresh potable water only.
ThunderStorm® ATC 1 x 3 Concentrate is biodegradable.
There are three fire extinguishing mechanisms in effect when using
ThunderStorm® ATC 1x3 solution on either a conventional Class
B hydrocarbon fuel such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc., or a Class B
polar solvent (water miscible fuel) such as methyl alcohol, acetone,
etc. First, an aqueous film is formed in the case of a conventional
hydrocarbon fuel, or a polymeric membrane in the case of a polar
solvent fuel. This film or membrane forms a barrier to help prevent
the release of fuel vapor. Second, regardless of the fuel type, a foam

water content of the foam produces a cooling effect.
Typical Physiochemical Propoerties
at 77°F/25°C
pH 7.5 – 8.5
ThunderStorm® ATC 1x3 Alcohol Resistant Concentrate is a non-
Newtonian fluid that is both pseudoplastic and thixotropic. Because of
these properties, dynamic viscosity will decrease as shear increases.
Application
ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3 can be used on either conventional
Class B fuel or the polar solvent type Class B fuels. Its excellent
wetting characteristics make it useful in combating Class A fires as
well. Because of the low energy required to make foam, it can be
used with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge devices. To
provide even greater fire protection capability, it may be used with
“PKW™” dry chemical extinguishing agent without regard to the
order of application. Hydro-Chem™ Technology is a recommended
application for dual agent use on three dimensional fire. Due to the
velocity of the dry chemical discharge, care must be taken not to sub-
merge the polymeric membrane below the fuel surface when using
twin agents on polar fuels.
Fire Performance
The fire performance of ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3 Alcohol
Resistant Concentrate is measured primarily against Underwriters
Laboratories Standard 162 (Latest Revision) and Williams Fire and
Hazard Control’s fire test. The UL testing focuses on fuels such as
heptane and isopropyl alcohol while the Williams Fire and Hazard
Control test focuses on premium unleaded gasoline. ThunderStorm®
ATC 1X3 was formulated to provide superior performance on all fire
tests, especially important is performance on high octane gasoline.
Foaming Properties
When used with fresh, salt or hard water at the correct dilution with
most conventional foam making equipment, the expansion will vary
depending on the performance characteristics of the equipment.
Aspirating discharge devices produce expansion ratios of 5:1 to
10:1 depending primarily on type of aspirating device and flow rate.
Non-aspirating devices such as handline water fog/stream nozzles
or standard sprinkler heads give expansion ratios of 2:1 to 4:1.
Medium expansion discharge devices produce typical expansion
ratios between 20:1 to 60:1 depending primarily upon type of device
and operating conditions.
Proportioning
ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3 Alcohol Resistant Concentrate can be
easily proportioned (at the correct dilution) using most conventional
proportioning equipment such as:
2. Balanced pressure and in-line balanced pressure pump
proportioning equipment
3. Balanced pressure bladder tank proportioner
6. Handline nozzles with fixed induction/ pickup tubes
The minimum and maximum usable temperature for ThunderStorm®
ATC Concentrate in this equipment is 35 °F (2 °C) to 120 °F (49 °C)
respectively.
Storage/Shelf Life
When stored in the packaging supplied (polyethylene totes,
drums or pails) or in equipment recommended by the manufac-
turer and within the temperature ThunderStorm® ATC Technical
Information AR/AFFF 1%x3% F-601A limits specified, the shelf
life of ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3 Alcohol Resistant Concentrate is
about 20-25 years. The factors affecting shelf life and stability for
AFFF agents are discussed in detail in Ansul Technical Bulletin
No. 54. Freezing of the product should be avoided. If, however, the
product is frozen during transport or storage, it must be thawed and
inspected for signs of separation. If separation has occurred, the
product must be mechanically mixed until homogeneous.

When the concentrate is to be stored in an atmospheric storage tank, a
.125 to .25 in. (3 – 6 mm) layer of mineral oil should be added to seal
the concentrate and minimize the effects of evaporation.
Compatibility
Since ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3 Alcohol Resistant Concentrate is
a unique blend of surfactants, high molecular weight polymers, and
solvents; it is recommended that it not be mixed with any other foam
concentrates. Consult Williams Fire and Hazard Control or Ansul
Incorporated with any questions of compatibility.
Materials of Construction Compatibility
Tests have been performed with ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3 Alcohol
Resistant Concentrate verifying its compatibility with standard
carbon steel “black” pipe and pipe manufactured from various
stainless steel or brass compounds. Alternative pipe, plastic fittings,
and valves may be used in some cases if acceptable to the customer
and/or the authority having jurisdiction. Refer to Ansul Technical
Bulletin No. 59, Form No. F-90109, addressing acceptable materials
of construction for use with Ansul foam concentrates.
Galvanized pipe and fittings must not be used in areas where undi-
luted concentrate will contact them since corrosion will result.
Please first consult Williams Fire and Hazard Control or Ansul
Incorporated for specific guidelines concerning materials of con-
struction.
Inspection
As with any fire extinguishing agent, ThunderStorm® ATC 1X3
Alcohol Resistant Concentrate, whether in the concentrate or pre-
mixed form, should be inspected periodically. NFPA 11 ‘‘Standard
for Low Expansion Foam and Combined Agent Systems’’ requires
that foam concentrate samples be submitted to the manufacturer or
other qualified laboratory for quality condition testing at least annu-
ally.
Contact Williams Fire and Hazard Control or Ansul for further
information on annual inspection.

3% or 6% F-600
Description
ThunderStorm® F-600 3% or 6% Alcohol Resistant
Concentrate is formulated from special fluorochemical and
hydrocarbon surfactants, a high molecular weight polymer,
and solvents. It is transported and stored as a concentrate to
provide ease of use and considerable savings in weight and
volume.
It is intended for use as a 3% or 6% proportioned solu-
tion (depending on the type of fuel) in fresh, salt or hard
water. (Water hardness should not exceed 500 ppm expressed
as calcium and magnesium.) It may also be used and stored as
a premixed solution in fresh or potable water for use with the
Ansul Model AR-33-D wheeled fire extinguisher.
There are three fire extinguishing mechanisms in effect
when using ThunderStorm® F-600 3% or 6% concentrate
on either a conventional Class B hydrocarbon fuel such as
gasoline, diesel fuel, etc., or a Class B polar solvent (water
miscible fuel) such as methyl alcohol, acetone, etc. First, an
aqueous film is formed in the case of a conventional hydro-
carbon fuel, or a polymeric membrane in the case of a polar
solvent fuel. This film or membrane forms a barrier to help
prevent the release of fuel vapor. Second, regardless of the
fuel type, a foam blanket is formed which excludes oxygen
and from which drains the liquids that form the film or the
polymeric membrane. Third, the water content of the foam
produces a cooling effect.

Application
ThunderStorm® F-600 3% or 6% AFFF is
unique among the AFFF agents in that it can
be used on either conventional Class B fuels or
the polar solvent type Class B fuels. Its excel-
lent wetting characteristics make it useful in
combating Class A Fires as well. Because of
the low energy to make foam, it can be used
with both aspirating and non-aspirating dis-
charge devices.
To provide even greater fire protection
capability, it can be used with dry chemical
extinguishing agents without regard to the
order of application to provide even greater
fire protection capability. Due to the velocity
of the dry chemical discharge, care must be
taken not to submerge the polymeric mem-
brane below the fuel surface.

Foaming Properties
When used with fresh, salt or hard water, at the correct dilution
with most conventional foam making equipment, the expansion will
vary depending on the performance characteristics of the equipment.
Aspirating discharge devices produce expansion ratios of from 5:1 to
10:1 depending primarily on type of aspirating device and flow rate.
Non-aspirating devices such as handline water fog/stream nozzles or
standard sprinkler heads give expansion ratios of 2:1 to 4:1.

Description
ThunderStorm® ATC 1X6 Freeze Protected Concentrate is
formulated from special fluorochemical and hydrocarbon surfac-
tants, high molecular weight polymers and solvents. It is transported
and stored as a concentrate to provide ease of use and considerable
savings in weight and volume. It contains no PFOS or PFOA. It is
intended for use as a 1% proportioned solution on hydrocarbon fuels
and as a 6% proportioned solution on polar solvent fuels in fresh, salt
or hard water. It may also be stored and used as a premixed solution
in fresh potable water only.
There are three fire extinguishing mechanisms in effect when
using ThunderStorm® ATC 1X6 Freeze Protected solution on either
a conventional Class B hydrocarbon fuel such as gasoline, diesel
fuel, etc., or a Class B polar solvent (water miscible fuel) such as
methyl alcohol, acetone, etc. First, an aqueous film is formed in the
case of a conventional hydrocarbon fuel, or a polymeric membrane

ThunderStorm® ATC 1X6 Freeze Protected Alcohol-Resistant
Concentrate is a non-Newtonian fluid that is both pseudoplastic and
thixotropic. Because of these properties, dynamic viscosity will
decrease as shear increases.
Application
Concentrate can be used on either conventional Class B fuel or the
polar solvent type Class B fuels. Its excellent wetting characteristics
make it useful in combating Class A fires as well.
Because of the low energy required to make foam, it can be
used with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge devices.
To provide even greater fire protection capability, it may be
used with “PKW” dry chemical extinguishing agent without regard
to the order of application. HYDRO-CHEM™ Technology is a rec-
ommended application for dual agent use on three-dimensional fires.
Due to the velocity of the dry chemical discharge, care must be taken
not to submerge the polymeric membrane below the fuel surface
when using the twin agent method on polar solvent fuels.
Fire Performance
The fire performance of ThunderStorm® ATC 1X6 Freeze
Protected Alcohol-Resistant Concentrate is measured primarily
against Underwriters Laboratories Standard 162 (Latest Revision)
and Williams Fire Hazard Control, Inc® fire tests. The UL test-
ing focuses on fuels such as heptane and isopropyl alcohol while
the Williams Fire Hazard Control, Inc® test focuses on premium
unleaded gasoline. ThunderStorm® ATC 1X6 Freeze Protected
Alcohol-Resistant Concentrate was formulated to provide superior
performance on all fire tests; especially on high octane gasoline.
Foaming Properties
When used with fresh, salt or hard water at the correct dilution
with most conventional foam making equipment; the expansion will
vary depending on the performance characteristics of the equip-
ment. Aspirating discharge devices produce expansion ratios of 5:
1 to 10:1 depending primarily on the type of aspirating device and
flow rate. Non-aspirating devices such as hand-line water fog/stream
nozzles or standard sprinkler heads give expansion ratios of 2:1 to 4:
1. Medium expansion discharge devices produce typical expansion
ratios between 20:1 and 60:1 depending primarily on the type of
device and operating conditions.
Proportioning
Concentrate can be easily proportioned (at the correct dilution) using
1.HYDRO-FOAM™ Nozzles
2.Balanced pressure and in-line balanced pressure pump pro-
portioning equipment.
3.Balanced pressure bladder tank proportioners
4.Around-the-pump and through-the-pump proportioners
5.Fixed or portable (in-line) venturi proportioners
6.Hand-line nozzles with fixed induction/pickup tubes
The minimum and maximum usable temperature for
ThunderStorm® ATC Concentrate in this equipment is 0°F
(-18°C) to 120°F (49°C) respectively.
Storage/Shelf Life
turer and within the temperature limits specified, the shelf life of
Concentrate is about 20-25 years. The factors affecting shelf life and
stability for AFFF agents are discussed in detail in Ansul Technical
Bulletin No. 54. Freezing of the product should be avoided. If,
however, the product is frozen during transport or storage, it must
be thawed and inspected for signs of separation. If separation has
occurred, the product must be mechanically mixed until homoge-
neous.
When the concentrate is to be stored in an atmospheric storage
tank, a .125 to .25 in. (3-6 mm) layer of mineral oil should be added
to seal the concentrate and minimize the effects of evaporation.

water. (Water hardness should not exceed 500 ppm expressed
as calcium and magnesium.) It may also be used and stored as
a premixed solution in fresh or potable water for use with the
Ansul Model AR-33-D wheeled fire extinguisher. The foam con-
centrate may be stored at temperatures to 0° F (-18° C) without
freezing. If stored below the minimum use temperature freezing
may occur. If frozen the concentrate can be thawed and remixed
before use.
when using Freeze Protected ThunderStorm® AR-AFFF 3% or
6% Concentrate on either a conventional Class B hydrocarbon
fuel such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc., or a Class B polar solvent
(water miscible fuel) such as methyl alcohol, acetone, etc. First,
an aqueous film is formed in the case of a conventional hydro-
carbon fuel, or a polymeric membrane in the case of a polar sol-
vent fuel. This film or membrane forms a barrier to help prevent
the release of fuel vapor. Second, regardless of the fuel type, a
foam blanket is formed which excludes oxygen and from which
drains the liquids that form the film or the polymeric membrane.
Third, the water content of the foam produces a cooling effect.

Concentrate is a non-Newtonian fluid that is both pseudoplastic
and thixotropic. Because of these properties, dynamic viscosity
will decrease as shear increases.
Application
Concentrate is unique among 3% or 6% AR-AFFF agents in that
the minimum use temperature is the lowest of all conventional
AR-AFFF products on the market. This product can be used on
either conventional Class B fuels or the polar solvent type Class
B fuels. Its excellent wetting characteristics make it useful in
combating Class A Fires as well. Because of the low energy to
make foam, it can be used with both aspirating and non-aspirat-
ing discharge devices.
To provide even greater fire protection capability, it can be
used with dry chemical extinguishing agents without regard to
the order of application to provide even greater fire protection
capability. Due to the velocity of the dry chemical discharge,
care must be taken not to submerge the polymeric membrane
below the fuel surface.
Fire Performance
The fire performance of Freeze Protected ThunderStorm®
AR-AFFF 3% or 6% Concentrate is measured primarily against
Underwriters Laboratories Standard 162, 5th Edition and the
Williams Fire Hazard Control plunging fire test. There are
no U.S. or foreign government specifications on this type of
product.
Foaming Properties
When used with fresh, salt or hard water, at the correct dilu-
tion with most conventional foam making equipment, the expan-
sion will vary depending on the performance characteristics of
the equipment. Aspirating discharge devices produce expansion
ratios of from 5:1 to 10:1 depending primarily on type of aspi-
rating device and flow rate. Non-aspirating devices such as han-
dline water fog/stream nozzles or standard sprinkler heads give
expansion ratios of 2:1 to 4:1.
Proportioning
Concentrate can be proportioned (at the correct dilution) using
1.Balanced pressure and in-line balanced pressure pumped
2.Balanced pressure bladder tank type proportioner
3.Around-the-pump proportioners
4.Fixed or portable (in-line) venturi type proportioners
5.Handline nozzles with fixed induction/pickup tubes
The minimum and maximum usable temperature for Freeze
Protected ThunderStorm® AR-AFFF 3% or 6% Concentrate in
this equipment is -20°F (-29 °C) to 120 °F (49 °C) respectively.
Storage/Shelf Life
When stored in the packaging supplied (polyethylene drums
or pails) or in equipment recommended by the manufacturer and
within the temperature limits specified, the shelf life of Freeze
Protected ThunderStorm® AR-AFFF 3% or 6% Concentrate is
about 15-20 years. The factors affecting shelf life and stability for
AFFF Agents are discussed in detail in Ansul Technical Bulletin
No. 54. Freezing of the product should be avoided. If, however, the
product is frozen during transport or storage, it must be thawed and
inspected for signs of separation. If separation has occurred, the
product must be mechanically mixed until homogeneous.

T-STORM™ AR-AFFF
1% x 3% F-701A
ALCOHOL-RESISTANT AFFF
Description
T-STORM™ 1X3 Alcohol-Resistant AFFF (AR-AFFF), F-
701A, is formulated to meet the performance requirements of
UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES, Standard for Safety for
Foam Equipment and Liquid Concentrates, UL 162. The foam con-
centrate has reduced viscosity for use in a wide range of proportion-
ing equipment.
T-STORM™ 1X3 AR-AFFF, F-701A, Concentrate is formulat-
ed from the same fluorochemical and hydrocarbon surfactants, high
molecular weight polymers and solvents as THUNDERSTORM®
ATC AR-AFFF, F-601A, but is designed for compliance applica-
tions. T-STORM™ is transported and stored as a concentrate to
provide ease of use and savings in weight and volume. It contains no
PFOS or PFOA. It is intended for use as a 1% proportioned solution
on hydrocarbon fuels and as a 3% proportioned solution on polar
solvent fuels in fresh, salt or hard water. It may also be stored and
used as a premixed solution in fresh potable water only.
There are three fire extinguishing mechanisms in effect when
using T-STORM™ 1X3 AR-AFFF, F-701A, solution on either a
conventional Class B hydrocarbon fuel such as gasoline, diesel fuel,
etc., or a Class B polar solvent (water miscible fuel) such as methyl
alcohol, acetone, etc. First, an aqueous film is formed in the case of a
conventional hydrocarbon fuel, or a polymeric membrane in the case
of a polar solvent fuel. This film or membrane forms a barrier to help
prevent the release of fuel vapor. Second, regardless of the fuel type,
a foam blanket is formed which excludes oxygen and from which
drains the liquids that form the film or the polymeric membrane.
Third, the water content of the foam produces a cooling effect.

T-STORM™ 1X3 AR-AFFF, F-701A, is a non-Newtonian fluid
that is both pseudoplastic and thixotropic. Because of these proper-
ties, dynamic viscosity will decrease as shear increases.
Application
T-STORM™ 1X3 AR-AFFF, F-701A, can be used on either
conventional Class B fuel or the polar solvent type Class B fuels.
Because of the low energy required to make foam, it can be used
with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge devices.
To provide even greater fire protection capability, it may be
used with “PKW” dry chemical extinguishing agent without regard
to the order of application. HYDRO-CHEM™ Technology is a rec-
ommended application for dual agent use on three-dimensional fires.
Due to the velocity of the dry chemical discharge, care must be taken
not to submerge the polymeric membrane below the fuel surface
when using the twin agent method on polar solvent fuels.
Fire Performance
The fire performance of T-STORM™ 1X3 AR-AFFF, F-701A,
is measured against Underwriters Laboratories Standard 162 (Latest
Revision).
Foaming Properties
When used with fresh, salt or hard water at the correct dilution
with most conventional foam making equipment; the expansion will
vary depending on the performance characteristics of the equipment.
Aspirating discharge devices produce expansion ratios of 5:1 to 10:
1 depending primarily on the type of aspirating device and flow rate.
Non-aspirating devices such as hand line water fog/stream nozzles
give expansion ratios of 2:1 to 4:1.
Proportioning
T-STORM™ 1X3 AR-AFFF, F-701A, can be easily propor-
tioned (at the correct dilution) using most conventional proportion-
ing equipment such as:
1. HYDRO-FOAM™ Nozzles
2. Balanced pressure and in-line balanced pressure pump pro-
portioning equipment.
3. Balanced pressure bladder tank proportioners
4. Around-the-pump and through-the-pump proportioners
6. Hand line nozzles with fixed induction/pickup tubes
The minimum and maximum usable temperature for T-
STORM™ 1X3 AR-AFFF, F-701A, in this equipment is 35 °F (2
°C) to 120 °F (49 °C) respectively.
Storage/Shelf Life
turer and within the temperature limits specified, the shelf life of

3% F-783A
Description
T-STORM™ 3% AFFF, F-783A, is formulated from specialty
fluorochemical and hydrocarbon type surfactants along with sol-
vents. It is transported and stored as a concentrate to provide ease of
use and considerable savings in weight and volume.
It is intended for use as a 3% proportioned solution in fresh,
salt or hard water. It may also be used and stored as a 3% premixed
solution in fresh or potable water only. The correct proportioning or
mixture ratio is 3 parts of concentrate to 97 parts of water.
Three fire extinguishment mechanisms are in effect when using
T-STORM™ 3% AFFF, F-783A. First, an aqueous film is formed
which works to help prevent the release of fuel vapor. Second, the
foam blanket from which the film-forming liquid drains effectively
excludes oxygen from the fuel surface. Third, the water content of
the foam provides a cooling effect.

Application
T-STORM™ 3% AFFF, F-783A, is intended for use on Class B
hydrocarbon fuel fires having low water solubility such as various
crude oils, gasolines, diesel fuels, aviation fuels, etc. It is not suitable
for use on fuels having appreciable water solubility (polar solvents),
i.e., methyl and ethyl alcohol, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone.
It can be used with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge
devices because of the low energy required to make it foam.
Its excellent wetting characteristics make it useful in combating
Class A fires as well. It can be used with dry chemical extinguish-
ing agents without regard to the order of application to provide even
greater fire protection capability.
Fire Performance
The fire performance of T-STORM™ 3% AFFF, F-783A, is
measured against specifications and standards such as U.S. Military
Specification MIL-24385B but is not on the Qualified Product List
(QPL). T-STORM™ 3% AFFF, F-783A has also been tested to
Underwriters Laboratories Standard 162 (Latest Edition). Reports
covering this fire performance are available on request since stan-
dards and specifications such as those cited are continuously being
upgraded and changed.
Foaming Properties
When used with fresh or salt water or water of any hardness,
at the correct dilution with most conventional foam making equip-
ment, the expansion will vary depending on the performance char-
acteristics of the equipment. Aspirating discharge devices produce
expansion ratios of from 6:1 to 10:1 depending primarily on type of
aspirating nozzle and flow rate. Non-aspirating devices such as hand
line water fog/stream nozzles give expansion ratios of 2:1 to 4:1.
Proportioning
T-STORM™ 3% AFFF, F-783A, can be easily proportioned (at
the correct dilution) using most conventional proportioning equip-
ment such as:
1. Balanced pressure and in-line balanced pressure pumped
2. Balanced pressure bladder tank type proportioners
3. Around the pump type proportioners
5. Hand line nozzles with fixed induction/pickup tubes
The minimum and maximum usable temperatures for T-
STORM™ 3% AFFF, F-783A, in this equipment is 35 °F (2 °C) to

pails) or in equipment recommended by the manufacturer as part of
the foam system within the temperature limits specified, the shelf
life of T-STORM™ 3% AFFF, F-783A, is about 20-25 years. The
factors affecting shelf life and stability for T-STORM™ 3% AFFF,
F-783A, are discussed in detail in Ansul Technical Bulletin No. 54.
If the product is frozen during storage or transportation, thawing
will render the product completely usable. Mixing after freeze thaw
cycling is recommended.
Compatibility
Certain specifications such as U.S. Military Specification
MIL-F-24385 (latest amendment) require that products placed on
the Qualified Products List (QPL) for that specification demonstrate
performance compatibility in all mixture proportions.
With regard to non-qualified (QPL) AFFF type concentrates,
they should only be mixed in an emergency, or if the manufacturer
has supporting test data to substantiate that the mixture meets the
same requirements as the individual component concentrates. Refer
to Ansul Technical Bulletin No. 48 for a more detailed discussion of
compatibility.
Different types of foam concentrates, i.e., AFFF, protein base,
etc., should not be mixed under any circumstances.

T-STORM™ AFFF
3% F-203A
FREEZE PROTECTED
Description
T-STORM™ AFFF 3% Freeze Protected Concentrate is
formulated from specialty fluorochemical and hydrocarbon
type surfactants along with solvents. It is transported and
stored as a concentrate to provide ease of use and consider-
able savings in weight and volume. The foam concentrate
may be stored at temperatures to -20° F (-29° C) without
freezing. If stored below the minimum use temperature
freezing may occur. If frozen the concentrate can be thawed
and remixed before use.
It is intended for use as a 3% proportioned solution in
fresh, salt or hard water. (Water hardness should not exceed
500 ppm expressed as calcium and magnesium.) It may also
be used and stored as a 3% premixed solution in fresh or pota-
ble water only. However, the diluted solution will freeze at
32 °F (0 °C). The correct proportioner mixture ratio is 3 parts
concentrate to 97 parts water.
Three fire extinguishment mechanisms are in effect when
using T-STORM™ AFFF 3% Freeze Protected Concentrate.
First, an aqueous film is formed which works to help prevent
the release of fuel vapor. Second, the foam blanket from
which the film-forming liquid drains effectively excludes
oxygen from the fuel surface. Third, the water content of the
foam provides a cooling effect.
Typical Physiochemical Properties
at 77°F/25°C
pH 7.5 – 8.5
ThunderStorm® ATC 1x3 Alcohol Resistant Concentrate is a non-
Newtonian fluid that is both pseudoplastic and thixotropic. Because of
these properties, dynamic viscosity will decrease as shear increases.
Application
T-STORM™ AFFF 3% Freeze Protected concentrate is
intended for use on Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires having
low water solubility such as various crude oils, gasolines,
diesel fuels, aviation fuels, etc. It is not suitable for use on
fuels having appreciable water solubility (polar solvents), i.e.,
methyl and ethyl alcohol, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone. It
can be used with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge
devices because of the low energy required to make it foam.
Its excellent wetting characteristics make it useful in
combating Class A fires as well. It can be used with dry
chemical extinguishing agents without regard to the order of
application to provide even greater fire protection capability.
Fire Performance
The fire performance of T-STORM™ AFFF 3% Freeze
Protected Concentrate is measured against specifications and
standards such as U.S. Military Specification MIL-F-24385B
(latest amendment) and Underwriters Laboratories Standard
UL 162 – 5th Edition. Reports covering this fire performance
are available on request since standards and specifications
such as those cited are continuously being upgraded and
changed.
Foaming Properties
When used with fresh salt water or hard water at the
correct dilution with most conventional foam making equip-
ment, the expansion will vary depending on the performance
characteristics of the equipment. Aspirating discharge devices
produce expansion ratios of from 6:1 to 10:1 depending pri-
marily on type of aspirating device and flow rate. In gen-
eral, the higher the flow rate the higher the expansion ratio.
Subsurface injection is a special case where generally expan-
sion ratios of 2:1 to 3:1 are preferred but up to 4:1 is allowed.
Non-aspirating devices such as handline water fog/stream
nozzles or standard sprinkler heads give expansion ratios of
2:1 to 4:1.
Proportioning
T-STORM™ AFFF 3% Freeze Protected Concentrate
can be proportioned easily at the correct dilution using most
conventional proportioning equipment such as:
1. Balanced pressure and in-line balanced pressure
2. Balanced pressure bladder tank type proportioner
3. Around-the-pump type proportioners
5. Handline nozzles with fixed induction/pickup tubes
The minimum and maximum usable temperatures for
T-STORM™ AFFF 3% Freeze Protected Concentrate in
this equipment is –20 °F (–29 °C) to 120 °F (49 °C) respec-
tively.
Storage/Shelf Life
When stored in the packaging supplied (polyethylene
drums or pails) or in equipment recommended by the manu-
facturer as part of the foam system and within the tempera-
ture limits specified, the shelf life of T-STORM™ AFFF 3%
Freeze Protected Concentrate is about 20-25 years. The fac-
tors affecting shelf life and stability for T-STORM™ AFFF
Agents are discussed in detail in Ansul Technical Bulletin No.
54. If the product is frozen during storage or transportation,
thawing will render the product completely usable. Mixing
after thawing is desirable so as to assure a homogenous solu-
tion.
Compatibility
Although T-STORM™ 3% Freeze Protected Concentrate
does not appear on the QPL for MIL-F-24385C, Ansul has
conducted testing with admixtures of different manufactur-
ers products in varying proportions and is satisfied that the
T-STORM™ 3% Freeze Protected AFFF Concentrate is com-
patible with these products. Refer to Ansul Technical Bulletin

agent with every piece of U.L. listed hardware. Moreover,
there are numerous foam hardware components without U.L.
listings that cannot be listed for use with any AFFF agent.
Many unlisted pieces of foam hardware should be similar
to those listed. However, on installations where T-STORM™
3% may be used with significantly different hardware compo-
nents than those tested, contact Ansul for recommendations.
