Aer-O-Foam® XL is a superior quality fluoroprotein foam concentrate used to extinguish fires in hydrocarbon fuels. Selected versions of Aer-O-Foam XL are also approved for use on biodiesel and common ether-based fuel oxygenates such as Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE), Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (ETBE), Tertiary Amyl Methyl Ether (TAME), and MTBE-based oxygenated gasoline blends.
Aer-O-Foam XL is manufactured utilizing a unique process which produces unmatched quality protein hydrolyzate to form the foundation for the concentrate formulation.
The protein base provides a long lasting stable foam blanket, highly resistive to the effects of heat. This prevents reignition and enhances burnback resistance. Fluorochemical surfactant additives are combined with the protein base to increase fluidity of the foam enabling it to seal around obstructions.
