    Buckeye Platinum 3%-6% AR-AFFF is an advanced film-forming foam concentrate used to extinguish Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires. It can be used at 3% for hydrocarbon fuels or 6% for polar solvents. The foam has excellent wetting properties and is suitable for use with many common foam proportioning and application devices. When used correctly, it will provide expansion ratios of 2-10 to 1 and recommended application rates are 0.10-0.15 gpm/sqft depending on the fuel type.

    ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

    Buckeye Platinum 3%-6% AR-AFFF is biodegradable,


    low in toxicity and can be treated in sewage treatment
    plants. Refer to Buckeye Technical Bulletin regarding
    foam products and the environment.

    STORAGE

    If kept in the original manufacturer’s supplied container


    and stored within the temperature range of 35°F - 120°F
    (2°C - 49°C), a shelf life of between 20-25 years can be
    expected. If the AR-AFFF is to be stored in an atmospheric
    type foam concentrate storage tank, whether on mobile
    apparatus or stationary, limit the air space above the
    surface of the concentrate where possible and place a
    thin layer of quality mineral oil on the surface of the foam
    concentrate to minimize any effect from evaporation.
