Foam Type Recommended Nozzles Non aspirated Solution Wet Mix Ratio % Characteristics Milky uid Application Deep penetration of fuels including: porous bark, windrows, mulch, grasses, forest ground litter, ground res, hay, fence posts, general blacking out/mop up. Rapid drainage penetrates and foam cover seals in moisture for protection of bark, isolation of tree stands elevated and surface fuels, grasses, forest ground litter and fence lines. Short-term control lines, ora, fauna and historical sites, and general blacking out/mop up. Slow drainage needs time to penetrate. Foam cover seals in moisture for protection of bark, isolation of tree stands elevated and surface fuels, grasses, forest ground litter, fence lines, and structures. Short term control lines, ora, fauna and historical sites, and general blacking out/mop up. Asset protection i.e. structures/machinery and hay stacks. Caution: has limited wetting ability insulating is the main use.
