Approvals, Listings, and Standards

  • Designed, tested and demonstrated to provide excellent control and suppression of large hydrocarbon tank fires
  • Designed in accordance with NFPA Standard 11 for Low and Medium Expansion Foams
  • UL 162 listed as an alcohol resistant synthetic fluorine free foam (AR-SFFF) concentrate for use on hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires
  • Passes UL 162 type III test protocol on hydrocarbons at the same 0.10 gpm/ft2 (4.1 Lpm/m2) design application rate as traditional AR-AFFF products with similar control times
    • Recommended minimum application rate of 0.16 gpm/ft2 (6.5 Lpm/m2) for fuel in-depth tank fires up to 150 feet (45.7 m) in diameter; for larger tank sizes please contact the WILLIAMS FIRE & HAZARD CONTROL® team directly for further guidance
    • Recommended minimum application rate of 0.10 gpm/ft2 (4.1 Lpm/m2) for spill fire applications
  • Superior drain times to high-quality AR-AFFFs, with a longer lasting foam blanket for better burnback resistance and post-fire suppression

  • Successfully evaluated in accordance with the WILLIAMS FIRE & HAZARD CONTROL® Plunging Test Protocol

 

Application

THUNDERSTORM WNF33A Foam 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. The concentrate has excellent wetting properties that can effectively combat Class A fires. It may also be used in conjunction with dry chemical agents to provide even greater fire suppression performance.

THUNDERSTORM WNF33A is well-suited for use in municipal and industrial response for spills and fuel in-depth fires. It may be applied with either an aspirating or non-aspirating nozzle on both Type III applications as well as foam systems with Type II discharge devices.

Examples of these applications include:

  • Flammable liquid in-depth and spill fires
  • Fuel and Chemical storage tanks
  • Industrial chemical and petroleum processing facilities
  • Truck/rail loading and unloading facilities
  • Flammable liquid containment areas
