A fuorosurfactant free training foam

which mimics the application and

physical properties of Angus Tridol S
AFFF 3% fre fghting foam.
Angus Fire has increasingly recognised
its joint responsibility with foam users
to ensure that the environmental
impact from the use of foams and
fre ground run-of is minimised. A
key element of this responsibility is
to control and reduce the volume of
fuorosurfactants and other potentially
harmful chemicals being released into
the environment.
The use of low toxicity training foams
permit front-line fre fghters to be
continuously trained in critical fre
fghting techniques to ensure high
performance standards are maintained.
The potential for confict between all
these objectives is clear, no more so
than in aviation fre fghting. Angus
Fire has developed Trainol 3 Training
Foam to eliminate this confict and
allow foam users to meet their key
objectives and responsibilities within
the legislative requirements.
Description
Trainol 3 is a Fluorine-Free Foam (F3)
concentrate for 3% usage, which
has been specially formulated to
provide a unique training foam with
a synthetic base material but no
fuorosurfactants. Trainol 3 mimics the
performance of Angus Tridol S 3 AFFF,
the aviation industry standard for fre
fghting foams, to provide realistic fre
training without the use of fuorinated
chemicals.
With almost identical induction
characteristics to Angus Tridol S 3
AFFF, Trainol 3 is the frst foam which
can be used routinely as a substitute
for vehicle and equipment testing,
while complying with Civil Aviation
and Environment Agency regulatory
requirements.
Trainol 3 was developed to meet the
stringent environmental and regulatory
requirements of the aviation sector, but
this does not limit its use to aviation.
Trainol 3 has clear training benefts
for other fre fghting applications
like ofshore drilling and production
platforms.
Environment
Trainol 3 is formulated for minimum
environmental impact. It is produced
from synthetic detergent, and is free
of fuorinated chemicals, and glycol
ethers. It is also readily biodegradeable.
Application
Trainol 3 should be used in training
through conventional foam induction
and delivery equipment (such as
the Angus Hi-Combat range of
portable foam equipment). It is not
recommended for real life fre fghting
incidents.
Induction
3% induction is recommended to
simulate induction and foam quality
performance of Tridol S 3 AFFF.
Storage Recommendations
Trainol 3 should be stored in the
original green containers. The
containers are colour coded green to
avoid confusion with front-line Angus
fre fghting foams. Trainol 3 should be
used within 2 years from the date of
purchase.
Physio-Chemical Properties
As with any foam, the properties
of Trainol 3 vary depending on the
performance characteristics of foam
equipment used and operating
conditions when tested in accordance
with UK Def 42-40.

foams includes:
