AFFF
- Aqueous Film-Forming Foams are based on combinations of fluoro-chemical
surfactants, hydrocarbon surfactants, and solvents. These agents require a very
low energy input to produce a high quality foam. Consequently, they can be
applied through a wide variety of foam delivery systems. This versatility makes
AFFF an obvious choice for airports, refineries, manufacturing plants, municipal
fire departments, and any other operation involving the transportation,
processing, or handling of flammable liquids.
6% AFFF Foam is a proven effective concentrated liquid designed to form a dense
foam to extinguish class A or B fires and alcohol fires. This material will
smother fires and prevent air from reaching the flammable materials and lower
the heat of combustion by cooling action.
AFFF provides foam
and penetrating action to smother and cool all class A fires.
On class B fires provides smothering action from the dense foam plus the ability
to form an emulsion with oils and other hydrocarbons, creating a cool barrier
interface that lowers the temperature of the oils and reduces the heat of
combustion of flashing action of the material.
Cleanup requires flushing with water.
AFFF is environmentally safe.
