The best choice for your underground oil tank abandonment requirements

WILL NOT spontaneously ignite at any time... during or after installation!
Is NOT a urea-formaldehyde or Polyurethane foam - Tripolymer® is a unique, stable, and safe foam alternative!
No petro chemicals are used in the manufacturing of Tripolymer 105-TM (fireguard) foam. Tripolymer® 105-TM (fireguard) foam has been used for over 25 years nationwide as a permanent, inert, environmentally safe oil tank abandonment media. Unlike petro chemical “oil base” foams, Tripolymer 105-TM (fireguard) is 100% water based.
Tripolymer 105-TM (fireguard) materials and the equipment used for its installation were specifically designed to produce the highest quality foam product for use in underground oil tank abandonment.
Tripolymer 105-TM (fireguard) has the unique property of absorbing oil and many other petro chemicals at a rate of 40 times its own weight. What this means is that if the slightest amount of oil is left in the tank, Tripolymer 105-TM (fireguard) will soak it up and hold it in suspension indefinitely with no damage to it’s make up or cellular structure. No other oil tank abandonment product can claim this.
When petro chemical polyurethane type foams come in contact with oil they decompose forming oil residuals that result in creating voids in the tank being abandoned.
Polyurethane foam is installed in “pours”. This method takes several repetitive applications. The installer relies on guesswork as to how much chemical is needed for each application. The reason is polyurethane foam’s expansion rate is directly related to temperature and weather conditions when it is being used. In cooler weather its expansion is much lower than in warmer conditions. If the installer misjudges the pour rate, you could end up with large voids or a partial filled tank. This leads to water entering the tank after rusting out causing further deterioration of the foam and in turn sinkholes in the surface area above the tank.
Tripolymer 105-TM (fireguard) foam is installed in one process. Once the foam equipment is started, a continuous flow is pumped into the tank. Pumping pressures are closely monitored right at the foam head by the technician at all times. When all of the air has been evacuated and the required pressure is reached in the tank being foamed, the equipment is turned off leaving the tank 100% full. The foam filling and exiting the vent pipe indicates further evidence of this. With Tripolymer 105-TM (fireguard) there is no guesswork involved.

Tripolymer® Tripolymer 105-TM (fireguard) foam meets all criteria as a solid, inert oil tank abandonment media in many areas, including the State of New York DEP, New York City Fire Department, The State of Connecticut Department of public safety, the Nassau County Department of Health, and many others.
