Japan Fire Equipment Inspection Institute (JFEII) Certification for a 1% foam concentrate rated suitable as a Storage Tank Fire Fighting Foam

Foam Concentrate Performance ...

With only two foam concentrate manufactures achieving this highly notarized standard, Williams in association with ANSUL are once again maintaining the forefront of 1% foam concentrate technologies.

Of the two certified products only Thunderstorm™ is freeze protected as well as being suitable for use as an AR-AFFF.

Following an arduous period of nearing 12-months of research and development by ANSUL’s Team of leading technology chemists, we have once again achieved a further bench mark in 1% AR-AFFF history.

The end result is Thunderstorm™ 1% F-601J freeze protected AR-AFFF.

Williams together with project partners Nihon Kikai Kogyo Co., Ltd. (NIKKI) are jointly pleased in the announcement the first deliveries within Japan were fulfilled during late 2008 and more recently the second quarter of 2009.

Thunderstorm™ 1% F-601J freeze protected AR-AFFF is now in place for the protection of a number of Hokkaido's strategic industrial assets covering refining and crude oil storage facilities.

Furthermore in an effort to assist regional Fire Departments with seasonal Fire Response Planning. Additional fire performance studies have been conducted in accordance to the JFEII fire performance criteria yet covering coastal seawater conditions and varying rates of concentrate proportioning which may affect certain Prefectures.
