Drew Marine Foam Concentrate Solution

In order to address the need for a foam concentrate that can meet the IMO criteria, DMS searched for an alcohol resistant foam concentrate that could replace existing AR-FP.  DMS collaborated with world renowned foam manufacturer, Chemguard, to formulate a Class type approved, cost effective, foam concentrate that meets the criteria of MSC.1/Circ. 1312.  Drew Marine Safety is proud to introduce the new generation of Drew Marine / Chemguard’s 3-6% AR-AFFF

Protein based foams may degrade over time and lose their alcohol resistant properties more rapidly than alcohol resistant foams derived from synthetic polymers.  Because of firefighting system design and tank material it isn’t always possible to replace an AR-FP foam with an AR-AFFF without major system modifications…that is until now.  Working with Chemguard to obtain DNV EC type approval and ensure conformance with MSC.1/Circ. 1312.  Drew Marine/Chemguard has formulated  a new generation 3-6% AR-AFFF that is a direct suitable replacement for AR-FP in existing foam fire extinguishing systems.  In addition, Drew Marine / Chemguard’s 3-6 % AR-AFFF has better knockdown properties and a longer shelf life than traditional AR-FP foams. This innovative formulation is the first foam concentrate to receive a wheelmark from DNV.
