About this file
This is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for ANSULITE 3% AFFF (AFC3B), a fire extinguishing agent manufactured by Tyco Fire Protection Products, which is directly relevant to the Lee County Port Authority's Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) foam transition project in Florida. The product is classified as hazardous under the 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, with the primary hazard identified as serious eye irritation (Category 2A). The document provides comprehensive safety information for handlers and emergency responders, including hazard identification, first aid measures, fire-fighting guidance, and exposure controls. Key physical properties indicate the product is an amber-colored liquid with a characteristic odor, a density of 1.01 g/cm³, and a boiling point of 100°C (212°F), with a VOC content of 10.0568%.
The SDS identifies three hazardous components within the ANSULITE 3% AFFF formulation: 2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethanol (5-10% by weight), Lauryl Imino Propionate Sodium Salt (1-5%), and Polyfluorinated alkyl betaine (1-5% proprietary formulation). Ecotoxicological data reveals varying acute toxicity levels across aquatic species, with LC50 values for rainbow trout at 5,320 mg/L for the concentrate and 185,200 mg/L for the 3% solution. The product demonstrates stability under recommended storage conditions and is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases. This documentation is essential for the transition project, as it establishes the baseline hazard profile and disposal requirements for the AFFF currently in use at Lee County Port Authority's ARFF stations, informing proper handling, cleaning protocols, and waste material management throughout the foam replacement initiative.
