Application
Fomtec LS xMax firefighting foam concentrate is developed for Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires where efficient fire control and vapor suppression are required. The foam forms a cohesive blanket that spreads quickly across the fuel surface, suppressing flammable vapors and preventing re-ignition. Typical installations include marine vessels, offshore platforms, tank farms, refineries, fuel depots and airport fuel storage areas.

Fire performance & Foaming
The LS xMax formulation produces a stable low expansion foam with excellent spreading properties and rapid fire knockdown. The foam layer effectively seals the fuel surface and provides strong burnback resistance. The concentrate performs reliably in both aspirated and non aspirated discharge devices used in modern firefighting systems.

Compatibility
Fomtec LS xMax firefighting foam concentrate can be used with a wide range of foam proportioning systems, monitors, foam chambers, foam makers and foam branch pipes. It is compatible with commonly used firefighting equipment in marine and industrial installations when applied according to recommended proportioning rates.

Environmental
The formulation is designed to meet modern environmental expectations for firefighting foams used in professional fire protection. The product is manufactured according to strict quality standards to ensure reliable performance and responsible environmental handling in marine and industrial operations.

Storage/Shelf life
When stored in original sealed containers under recommended conditions, Fomtec LS xMax firefighting foam concentrate maintains a long service life. Storage should be in a dry and ventilated area protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve product stability and performance.

Inspection/Testing/Maintenance
Regular inspection and testing of firefighting foam concentrates and foam systems is recommended as part of preventive fire protection maintenance. Periodic sampling and foam quality testing help verify concentrate integrity, correct proportioning and overall system readiness in accordance with applicable fire safety procedures.
