Technical Information
DesoHptlon
Light Water FC-206CF 6 % AFFF1, is LI synthetic llrcflgiiting fount concentrate designed for use on noil-polar, hydrocarbon hazards, When proportioned with water and applied with conventional foam or watcr/fog equipment. Light Water 6% AFFF provides excellent conlrol and extinguishment of Class B fires by spreading a vapor-sealing film over the liquid fuel. This vapor seal inhibits icllash even when the foam blanket is ruptured and also allows the product to be used to secure non-ignited spills. LighL Water 6% AFFF piovidcs excellent penetrating and wetting qualities when used on Class A fires. This is important when extinguishing deep-seated tires in wood, paper, rubber tires and oilier ordinary combustibles.

Applications
Light Water FC-206CF 6% AFFF can be used with conventional foam equipment with fresh, sat or brackish water. Self-educting foam nozzles and foam nozzles with in-line eductors are among the most common types of hardware for application.
In addition to its use in aspirating foam equipment, Light Water 6% AFFF can be dispensed effectively through non-aspirating equipment including fog nozzles, water spray devices and standard sprinklers. Light Water 6% AFFF exceeds L.S. Military specification MIL F24385F, supersedes E(SH) and is listed on the U S . Military Q.P.L, (Qualified Products List). Light Water FC-206CF 6% AFFF is listed by IJL.
Light Water 6% AFFF may be applied to fires simultaneously with dry chemical firefighting agents because the two arc compatible.
Features
Effective: Rapid extinguishment reduces the chances of dangerous incidents and
reduces the risk Id property and equipment. Light Water (i% AFFF also prevents

ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY (RAT): PRACTICALLY NON-TOXIC. Ten albino rats (Sprague-
Dawley strain, 5 males, 5 females) weighing between 242 and 296 grains, each received an oral dose o f FC-206CF equivalent to 5.0 grams (4.95 milliliters) per kilogram o f body weight. This study was conducted according to the Organization o f Economic Cooperation and Development's Guidelines for Testing Chemicals. Clinical signs were limited to audible breathing in 1 female rat; this was noted from 1 hour to day 3. N o mortalities occurred. In all males and 2 females there were weight gains at the 7 and 14 day evaluations. Three female rats either had no weight gain at day 7 compared to initial weight or had no weight gain at day 14 compared to day 7. At necropsy no visible lesions were observed. The acute oral LD50 in the albino rats o f FC-206CF is greater than 5,0 grams per kilogram o f body weight, FC-206CF is considered practically non-toxic orally under the conditions o f this study. (Hazleton Wisconsin; January 4, 1991; HWJ No. 01102302)
ACUTE DERM AL TOXICITY (RABBIT): PRACTICALLY NON-TOXIC. Ten rabbits (New Zealand White strain, 5 males, 5 females) weighing between 2,088 and 2,492 grams each received a dermal application o f FC-206CF equivalent to 2,0 grams per kilogram o f body weight. This study was conducted according to the Organization o f Economic Cooperation and Development's Guidelines for Testing Chemicals. N o abnormal clinical signs were noted during the 14 day study. Dermal irritation observed after the 24 hour occlude contact consisted o f only slight erythema in 2 animals on day 1. Weight gains were observed in all animals at the 7 and 14 day weighing. N o mortalities occurred. N o visible lesions were noted in 9 animals at necropsy on day 14. In 1 female rabbit the left kidney had a large pelvis which was considered incidental and unrelated to the test material. The same animal was noted to have thickening o f the skin o f the treatment area; this was possibly the result o f an inflammatory reaction caused by the test material. FC-206CF is considered practically non-toxic dermally under the conditions o f this study.
(Hazleton Wisconsin; January 14,1991; HWI No. 01102303)
PRIM ARY DERM AL IRRITATION: NON-IRRITATING, Three albino rabbits (New Zealand White strain) each received 0,5 milliliter applications o f FC-206CF to an intact skin test site. The study was conducted according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Guidelines for Testing Chemicals. The test sites were covered for 4 hours with a semi-occlusive dressing. The sites were evaluated for irritation at 30 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal o f the test material. N o signs o f dermal irritation were observed during the study. FC-206CF is considered non-irritating to the
skin under the conditions o f this study, Note, however, in the acute dermal toxicity summary that erythema was observed at two test sites after 24 hour occluded contact. (Hazleton Wisconsin; December 27, 1990; HWI No. 01102304)

PRIM ARY O CULAR IRRITATION: M ODERATELY IRRITATING. Three albino rabbits (New Zealand White strain) each received 0,1 milliliters o f FC-206CF in the conjunctival sac o f one eye. The contralateral eye served as an untreated control The study was conducted according to the Organization
o f Economic Cooperation and Development's Guidelines for Testing Chemicals. The eyes were evaluated for irritation at 1, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours and at 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment. At the 72 hour and 7, 14 and 21 day evaluations, sodium fluorescein was used to aid in revealing possible comeal injury. FC-206CF elicited comeal opacity, iridal effects and conjunctival irritation consisting o f diffuse beefy redness, obvious swelling o f the lief, and well defined discharge at the 1, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hour evaluations. Corneal opacity and conjunctival irritation were observed in 1 test eye at days 7, 14 and 21. Two o f 3 test animals were observed to exhibit vocal signs o f a pain response on instillation o f the test substance; they also pawed at the treated eye. Sodium fluorescein examinations were negative in 2 test eyes, but positive in 1 test eye at 72 hours and at days 7, 14 and 21, A maximum primary eye irritation score o f 41.7 o f a possible 110.0 was assigned at the 1 hour evaluation. FC-206CF is considered moderately irritating to the eyes under the conditions o f this study. FC-206CF may cause permanent eye damage if unlimited contact is allowed.

Redesigned 5-galloii container maximizes storage space
ew 3M ~ Light Water* AXCTM3 foam not only features an innovative Iformulation--it's also been dressed up in a redesigned 5-gallon container. Ease o f transport and maximization of available storage space were driving fences behind the break from traditional round pails.
"Rectangular pails are easier to hold and carryswsays Joe Poiditiger, Technical Service Representative. "They are also easier to hold while emptying, and maximize available space in fire truck
"This extra pail gives firefighters a meaningful increase in the amount o f firefighting concentrate available at an incident."
A look beneath the surface reveals several additional features that'make' this art outstanding container. The pail is black to offer protection against ultraviolet rays, which extends the life o f the container while protecting the material inside. Heavy duty construction adds strength. Tests show that the pail has twice the lifespan o f conventional round white pails.

the guesswork for firefighters, " In a chemical company or at a refinery, you do not always know what the next type of fire will be. For example, It may be an ether or it may be petroleum," says Richard Stem, 3M Senior Research specialist. "To be able to have all firefighting equipment fixed at 3% is a real advantage, so firefighters can start fighting the fire immediately.
"In addition, because 3M1" Light W ater ATC*3 ftwm is always applied at 3%, the foam supply will last twice as
"Light Water ATC3 foam has a stable viscosity below 2,000
viscosities o f 5,000 to 6,000 initially or after aging. Higher viscosity material requires special equipment," Stern says, "Lower viscosity makes the foam more conducive for use in a wide variety o f equipment. Most customers won't discard their old equipment and purchase high viscosity equipment when they upgrade to a new product"
Light 'Water ATC3 foam will proportion accurately in both high and low viscosity equipment.

The conference--held March 11-13, 199?, at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Houston, Texas--focused on the lessons learned from industrial disasters. Discussions were led by people who were involved in a variety o f industrial disasters. Topics included:
* MTBE tank fire - Extinguishing the largest MTBE tank fire in Texas.
* River o f fire - Major pipeline break along flooded San Jacinto River results ia emergency response,
* Heaven Hills distillery fire - Firefighters battle the

Stations a top choice among industry professionals. Each
foam station is designed as a complete system,.consisting
o f a seif-educting Hydro-Foam" nozzle and a 55-gallon
drum or other large container o f foam connected to a
water monitor.
One firefighting veteran who believes in the value o f foam stations is Gene Tierney, Fire Chief/Safety Engineer at Cytee Industries Fortier Plant in Vestwege, Louisiana.
"Foam stations are relatively inexpensive, give you quick knockdown and are easy to operate. In the event o f a spill,
foam stations prevent fires by smothering flammable liquid vapors before they have a chance to ignite," Tierney says. "Foam, stations give you the option o f having foam wherever you have a firewater monitor,"
Foam stations play -a prominent role in "fire protection preparedness at the Cytee Industries Fortier Plant complex. There are 35 foam stations on site; some supplement automatic foam systems, others provide spot protection in isolated areas. The plant stocks 3.VT Light Water *ATC" foam exclusively, due to its effectiveness on both hydrocarbons and polar solvent liquids, its. reliability and its storaWlity, Thousands o f gallons o f foam concentrate are on site - 5,000 p ilo u s o f which can be quickly mobilized daring an emergency.
The Fortier complex is actually comprised of seven individual plants. The majority o f the
foam stations are allocated to three plants; the acrylonitrile plant, the methyl methacrylate (MMA) plant and the methanol plant. "In areas where there is flammable liquid storage, we have a concentration o f foam stations. We also have them staged around the perimeter of some o f the plants," Tierney says,

Product loading and unloading areas are also protected by foam stations. There are seven stations on the complex's cast river dock, which is used for methanol loading and acetone unloading. Three foam stations are located on

Garden hose is cheaper by the foot than fire hose., b u t you don't save m oney lay fighting fires with the cheaper hose. *
The same is true of foam . You are not buying gallons of foam , you are buying fire protection. W ith that as a rule, noil inn extinguishes tires faster, sater and less ' expensively than Light Water ATC Foam.

A 150' (-56 meter) diam eter gasoline storage tank in Louisiana containing

Every year, 3M and W illiams Fire & Hazard Control conduct a series of. training courses and seminars for both government and industry' Attendees receive '`hands-on'' training hatred on
the latest technology and up-to-date experience-gained-fem fighting storagetank, vessel pipeline and toxin chemical fires around the world.
The knowledge and insight gained about foam, equipm ent and specific techngues makes professional training from 3M and W illiams Fire & Hazard ' Control a worthwhile investment for any com pany or agency. Ask your 3M lig h t Water Foam representative for seminar dates, locations and costs.
WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE, FIRE FIGHTERS REACT ON THE DOUBLE.
Two lightning strikes nine months apart at an Onto crude oil facility gave several m unicipal fire riepartmemis an opportunity to put to' practice toe training iflev received at a SkW Ailiam s Fire & Hazard Control seminar.
The first fire began when lightning struck a 95' (29 meter) diam eter ta n k ' containing 35/300 barrels of cruae. Bre fighters were abte to save product vetoed a.t U.S. 3615,000. The cost of Light W afer ATC Foam used for extin

fightere responded with confidence, The blaze was extinguished just 15 minutes after the foam attack began. Using US. $17,000 worth of foam, they saved 25,000 barrels of crude oil valued al U.S. 3475,000, as welt as toe tank structure.
