THUNDERSTORM W813A 1×3 AR-AFFF (Alcohol Resistant Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) Concentrate from WILLIAMS FIRE & HAZARD CONTROL delivers exceptional firefighting performance, continuing the renowned heritage of THUNDERSTORM products. THUNDERSTORM W813A Concentrate combines fluoro- and hydrocarbon-surfactant technologies to provide superior fire and vapor suppression for Class B, polar solvent and hydrocarbon fuel fires. This synthetic foam concentrate is intended for forceful or gentle firefighting applications at 1% solution on hydrocarbon fuels and gentle firefighting applications at 3% solution on polar solvent fuels in fresh, salt, or hard water.

Application

THUNDERSTORM W813A 1x3 AR-AFFF Concentrate is intended for use on both types of Class B fires: hydrocarbon fuels with low water solubility, such as crude oils, gasolines, diesel fuels, and aviation fuels; and polar solvent fuels with appreciable water solubility, such as methyl and ethyl alcohol, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone. The concentrate also has excellent wetting properties that can effectively combat Class A fires. 

 

To provide even greater fire protection capability, THUNDERSTORM W813A foam solution may be applied simultaneously with WILLIAMS FIRE & HAZARD CONTROL PKW dry chemical for a twin-agent system. When using twin-agent application on polar solvent fuels, care must be taken with the velocity of the dry chemical discharge to minimize submergence of the polymeric membrane below the fuel surface. 

 

THUNDERSTORM W813A Concentrate can be ideal for emergency response and semi-fixed firefighting applications such as:

 

  • Flammable liquid in depth and spill fires 
  • Fuel or chemical storage tanks 
  • Industrial chemical and petroleum processing facilities
  • Truck/rail loading and unloading facilities
  • Mobile equipment
