This document summarizes a fire fighting foam concentrate designed for training exercises. It simulates the foaming performance of regular firefighting foam but has less environmental impact. The concentrate is biodegradable, fluorine-free, and safe for marine life. It can be used at concentrations of 1% or 3% for training systems or suppressing class A fires. However, it should not be used for actual firefighting as it is only intended for training purposes.

1. Fire Fighting Foam Concentrates
Training Foam (AFFF-TF)

APPLICATIONS
For use in fire training system calibration wherever a foaming alternative to an AFFF is
required.
Product training foams can also be used as wetting agents for combating Class A fires
(i.e. tyres, paper, wood) and for providing a vapour suppression blanket on hydrocarbon spills.
Not suitable for use as a Class B Fire Fighting Foam

3%: 3 parts foam concentrate to 97 parts water
LIMITATIONS
Use only for training purposes. Not suitable for use as a fire fighting foam concentrate.
COMPATIBILITY
The Training Foam is not for fire fighting use and should not be mixed with
those concentrates used for this purpose.
