Description

Fomtec Enviro Class A is a specially selected blend of high activity hydrocarbon surfactants, solvents and stabilizers selected for their environmental profile. Enviro Class A provides excellent extinguishments of class A fires by providing deep penetration of the water into the burning material. At low concentrations it is also highly effective as a wetting agent. Enviro Class A is also effective on smaller class B fires. Enviro Class A can be used with both aspirating and non-aspirating discharge devices.

Enviro Class A has outstanding cold water mixability, and is ideal for northern climates.

Enviro Class A is very stable in both concentrate and mixed form.
