Description
ANSUL JET-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate Pail - 436879
JET-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate contains hydrocarbon surfactants, solvents, and stabilizers for use with medium- and high-expansion foam generators. This synthetic foam concentrate is intended for firefighting applications at 2% solution. It must only be proportioned with fresh water. JET-X 2% foam solution can be used to produce foam with expansion ratios ranging from 50:1 to 1000:1 depending upon the type of generator and its operating pressure. The foam blanket has excellent mobility and stability and utilizes several suppression mechanisms:
- Reduces free air movement required for combustion.
- Cools to a temperature below the combustion or auto ignition temperature and displaces oxygen as liquid drains from the foam and converts to steam.
- Penetrates Class A materials due to the reduced surface tension of the liquid draining from the foam.
- Insulates and blocks radiant heat feedback.

Application
JET-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate is a tremendously flexible firefighting agent, used in fighting Class A, Class B, and LNG fires both indoors and outdoors. It is used only with air-aspirating foam discharge devices except when used as a wetting agent on Class A fuels. JET-X 2% Concentrate, when used with high-expansion generators, is capable of totally flooding large rooms and enclosures allowing it to effectively extinguish horizontal and vertical (three-dimensional) fires. High-expansion foam is also effective in reducing vapor concentrations downwind from unignited LNG and other hazardous low boiling point gaseous products such as ammonia spills.
When used with medium-expansion foam equipment, JET-X 2% Concentrate forms a foam blanket which prevents the release of fuel vapor and also provides additional cooling due to the higher water content. Medium-expansion foam has benefits in outdoor applications because the foam is less affected by wind conditions.
Approvals, Listings, and Standards
JET-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate is designed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 11 for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion foam. The concentrate is approved, listed, qualified under, or meets the requirements of the following specifications and standards:
- UL Standard 139, High-Expansion Foam Liquid Concentrates
- EN1568-2, High-Expansion Foam Concentrates
- FM Approvals – FM 5130 - This concentrate is only FM Approved in conjunction with the specific proportioning equipment and discharge devices as shown in the Approval Guide (www.ApprovalGuide.com)
Foaming Properties
The performance of JET-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate will vary depending upon the performance
characteristics of the equipment. Expansion ratios through highexpansion generators are typically between 200:1 and 1000:1. For this reason, it is important for the proper design of a highexpansion system that the JET-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate be specifically listed with the foam generators. Refer to the performance table listing expansion ratios of JET-X high-expansion generators used in conjunction with JET-X 2% Foam Concentrate (see data sheet JET-X High-Expansion Foam Generator, Form No. F-93137, latest revision). Mediumexpansion foam generators typically deliver expansion ratios between 50:1 and 200:1.
Proportioning
The recommended operational temperature range for JET-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate is 35 °F to 120 °F (2 °C to 49 °C). This foam concentrate can be correctly proportioned using most conventional, properly calibrated, in-line proportioning equipment such as:
- Balanced and in-line balanced pressure pump proportioners.
- Balanced pressure bladder tank proportioners
- Around the pump type proportioners
- Fixed or portable in-line venturi (eductor) type proportioners
