Description
Environmentally formulated FireAde® 2000 AR-AFFF is the newest generation in Alcohol-Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam. This formulation signifies our commitment in protecting our environment using Green Agent Technology™. FireAde® 2000 AR-AFFF concentrate is formulated to prevent additional environmental hazards when applied to a fire. The capacity of FireAde® 2000 AR-AFFF to produce a stable, heat resistant and self-sealing blanket provides superior performance to traditional AR-AFFF and AFFF foams.
FireAde® 2000 AR-AFFF contains NO hazardous materials in the formulation. The special formulated concentrate has a dramatically reduced viscosity compared to most AR-AFFF. The viscosity enables FireAde® 2000 AR-AFFF to be used in all types of foam portioning systems, in-line eductors, and standard foam equipment.

Applications
US and European Class - A Fires
Class-A fires are the most common type of fire. They occur when an organic solid material such as wood becomes sufficiently hot, and has oxygen available to it, causing combustion.
Materials: Wood, Paper, Cotton, Hay, Coal, Tires
Application for Class A: 0.25% - 1%
US Class -B, European class -B and C Fires
US Class-B fires involve flammable or combustible liquid or gaseous fuels. In the European/Australasian system class B fires involve flammable liquids, and class C involves burning gases.
Non-Polar Solvents
Materials: Gasoline, Diesel, Jet Fuel, Kerosene, Crude Oils
Application: 1%, 3% and 6%
Polar Solvents
Materials: Alcohols, Acetones, Methanol, MEK, Ethanol Fuels (E-95, E-85, E-10)
Application: 6% (indirect aspiration required)
US Class -C, European Class -E Fires
Class-C/E fires are fires involving, and probably started by, potentially energized electrical equipment.
Application for Class C: DO NOT APPLY TO ELECTRICAL FIRES WITHOUT PROPER EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING.
US and European Class -D fires
Class-D fires are metal fires. Certain metals, such as sodium, titanium, magnesium, potassium,lithium, calcium and others are flammable. Magnesium and titanium fires are most common.
Application for Class D: 6% (reduced pressure or aspiration required)
US Class -K, European Class -F Fires
Class-K fires are fires that involve cooking oils.
Materials: Fat or grease
Application for Class D: 6% (misting, reduced pressure or aspiration required)
