Approvals, Listings, and Standards

THUNDERSTORM W833A 3×3 AR-AFFF Concentrate is designed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 11 for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam. The concentrate is approved, listed, qualified under, or meets the requirements of the following specifications and standards: 

  • UL Standard 162, Foam Liquid Concentrates
  • ULC S564, Category 2 Foam Liquid Concentrates

The THUNDERSTORM W833A formulation has been success­fully evaluated in accordance with the WILLIAMS FIRE & HAZARD CONTROL Plunging Test protocol.

 

Application

THUNDERSTORM W833A 3×3 AR-AFFF Concentrate is intended for use on both types of Class B fires: hydrocarbon fuels with low water solubility, such as crude oils, gasolines, diesel fuels, and aviation fuels; and polar solvent fuels with appreciable water solubility, such as methyl and ethyl alcohol, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone.

To provide even greater fire protection capability, THUNDERSTORM W833A foam solution may be applied simultaneously with WILLIAMS FIRE & HAZARD CONTROL PKW dry chemical for a twin-agent system. When using twin-agent application on polar solvent fuels, care must be taken with the velocity of the dry chemical discharge to minimize submergence of the polymeric membrane below the fuel surface. 

THUNDERSTORM W833A Concentrate can be ideal for fixed, semi-fixed, and emergency response firefighting applications such as: 

  • Flammable liquid in depth and spill fires
  • Fuel or chemical storage tanks
  • Industrial chemical and petroleum processing facilities
  • Truck/rail loading and unloading facilities
  • Mobile equipment
