PERFORMANCE
Chemguard ECOGUARD is designed to perform as
a “Synthetic Foam Concentrate” as defined by UL
162. It is listed for multiple applications, including
topside, handline, and sprinklers.
FOAMING PROPERTIES
Aspirating type discharge devices typically
generate expansion ratios between 6-10:1 when
mixed with water at the correct mix ratio. Expansion
ratios are dictated by the type of discharge devices,
flow rate and discharge pressure.
