OLAS 36

OLAS 36 is a synthetic film-forming foam, made from fluorine-containing surfactants and hydrocarbon-based surfactants, high molecular weight polymers, and various solvents.

OLAS 36 requires relatively low energy to form foam, and the resulting foam solution is capable of forming a film on most hydrocarbon and polar water-soluble fuel surfaces, such as those of alcohol-based solvents and acetone.

These films separate the fuel from oxygen and prevent fuel evaporation. The water in the foam solution also acts as a coolant.

Suitable for use with saltwater, freshwater, and hard water at a mixing ratio of 3% or 6%.

OLAS 36 should be used at a mixing ratio of 3% for Class B fires (hydrocarbon fuels) or 6% for polar solvent fires.

The excellent wetting properties of OLAS 36 also make it suitable for Class A fires.

OLAS 36 can be used with low-expansion foam sprayers (nozzles) and spray devices (mist nozzles, standard nozzles).
