Product overview
HD AFFF 3-C6 and AFFF 3F-C6 are aqueous film-forming foam concentrates for hydrocarbon fire protection. The manufacturer specifies a 3% solution with compatible water and foam equipment. The selected concentrate, proportioner and discharge device must be checked as a complete system. The 3-C6 and 3F-C6 variants have separately scoped approvals and physical-property test temperatures, identified in the table below.

Applications
Class B hydrocarbon hazards such as fuel storage, process areas, refineries, terminals and aviation-fuel facilities within the approved application scope.
Selection and project integration
Share the system drawings, protected hazard, equipment schedule and project specification with UDCT. Product selection should establish the required flow and pressure, pipework connections, materials, installation orientation and compatible components. Check the precise approval scope for the selected model, size and configuration against the current manufacturer documentation.
The product reference does not replace hydraulic calculations or the approved system design. For foam equipment, confirm the concentrate, proportioning range and discharge-device compatibility as one system. Use the manufacturer instructions for installation, commissioning and maintenance, and confirm the supplied configuration with UDCT before procurement.
