    MGF-Synthec is a synthetic foam concentrate used for generating low and medium expansion foam for fighting class A and B fires, especially petroleum products and plastics. It forms foam readily and is suitable for use in mobile equipment, stationary systems, and non-aspirated applications. MGF-Synthec produces an aqueous film that extinguishes fires and prevents re-ignition even in areas not fully covered by foam. It is compatible with most other foaming agents and firefighting equipment, can be stored long-term, and is an approved fire extinguishing agent.

    Storage
    MGF-Synthec can be stored for long periods of time in the sealed original containers and in corrosion-
    resistant plastic tanks or stainless steel tanks. High temperatures up to +50 °C do not affect the
    quality; neither does temporary freezing at temperatures below the specified frost resistance limit

    Approval
    MGF-Synthec is an afficially approved fire extinguishing agent for low and medium expansion foam
    applications for class A + B fires.
