|
||
| Fire-Trol LCA-R is a wet concentrate formulation that uses ammonium polyphosphate (11-37-0) as the fire retardant salt. When mixed with water, the resulting retardant is unthickened (water-like). Fire-Trol LCA-R contains a corrosion inhibitor and iron oxide color. Mixing occurs through simple proportioning of the retardant concentrate and water. The resulting mixed retardant is pumped directly into the aircraft without intermediate storage. | ||
| Product Type: | Unthickened, liquid concentrate; demand-mixed. | |
| Qualification: | Qualified for use from a permanent or temporary base and can be applied from a fixed-wing airtanker or helicopter bucket. | |
| Use Level: | 1 gallon of liquid concentrate mixed with 5 gallons of water will produce 5.88 gallons of mixed retardant. Each gallon of mixed retardant contains the equivalent of 2.06 pounds or 0.17 gallons of liquid concentrate. | |
| Yield: | 1 ton of liquid concentrate yields 972 gallons of mixed retardant. | |
| Viscosity: | <50
centipoise (cP) Field measurement for the viscosity of the retardant mixed 5:1 is not meaningful; therefore, no data is provided for the mixed retardant. |
|
| Salt Content: | 7.5
percent by weight, P205 equivalent. Field measurement (refractometer): A reading of 13.95 indicates a proper salt content. A reading between 13.00 and 15.00 indicates an acceptable salt content. |
|
| Specific Weight: | 9.12 and 12.10 lb/gal, respectively, for mixed retardant and liquid concentrate. | |
