PRESS RELEASE
ANGIER, N.C. — National Foam proudly announces the launch of UniversalF3 Green 1%-3% AR-SFFF (Alcohol-Resistant Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foam) Concentrate, a breakthrough firefighting foam designed to tackle fuel-in-depth tank and spill fires. This innovation is the first AR-SFFF concentrate to receive UL and ULC 162 listings for both Type II and Type III applications at a 1% solution on hydrocarbon fuel fires and a 3% solution on polar fuel fires.
Notably, UniversalF3 Green 1%-3% AR-SFFF has earned top-tier ratings from LASTFIRE for all nozzle configurations when used at a 1% foam solution in both fresh and saltwater environments.
As a fluorine free foam, UniversalF3 Green 1%-3% AR-SFFF concentrate provides a substantial alternative to legacy Alcohol-Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AR-AFFF). It is suitable for use with fresh, brackish, or sea water and is designed for mobile emergency firefighting response where Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuels are stored, processed, or transported. UniversalF3 Green 1%-3% AR-SFFF, manufactured in Angier, North Carolina, protects operations at oil, gas, chemical, industrial and aviation fuel facilities worldwide.
“We’re excited to introduce this game-changing firefighting foam,” said Bobby Nelson, General Manager at National Foam. “UniversalF3 Green 1%-3% AR-SFFF is the first fluorine free foam proportioned at 1% to meet UL and ULC 162 standards for both forceful (Type III) and gentle (Type II) application. When fighting large hydrocarbon tank fires, using a 1% solution cuts the required foam volume by two-thirds compared to standard 3%-3% AR-SFFF concentrates, delivering a significant logistical advantage in emergency response.”
