Fletcher) Subj: RESULTS OF MIL-F-24385F QUALIFICATION TESTING OF THE NATIONAL FOAM INCORPORATED AER-O-WATER 6EM-C6/TRIDOL-C6 M6 AFFF CONCENTRATE Enel: (1) One copy o f subj ect report 1. Enclosure (1) is forwarded for your information and retention. 2. This report provides results o f the qualification testing for the National Foam Inc. Aer-OWater 6EM-C6/Tridol-C6 M6 AFFF concentrate, which was evaluated against the MIL-F24385F, "Fire Extinguishing Agent, Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) Liquid Concentrate for Fresh and Seawater" qualification standard. The Aer-O-Water 6EM-C6/Tridol-C6 M6 AFFF product met all o f the fire extinguishment and bum back protection requirements o f the MIL-F-24385F test standard. Based on these test results it is recommended that the Aer-OWater 6EM-C6/Tridol-C6 M6 AFFF product be listed on the AFFF Qualified Products List (QPL). 3.
