About Aqueous Film Forming Foam
Aqueous Film Forming Foam
Our company offers best in class Aqueous Film Forming Foam which is especially formulated for the fire extinguishing applications to easily diminish flames to prevent losses due to fire hazards. It is made up by using premium grade ingredients that are added in appropriate amounts to make a high quality stoichiometric mixture. It is irritant in nature hence it is advised to handle it with extra care to prevent damages to the skin and eyes. Aqueous Film Forming Foam offered by our company is available in hard plastic containers as per customer demands.
Advanced Fire Suppression TechnologyOur Aqueous Film Forming Foam utilizes cutting-edge surfactant and fluorochemical technology to create an effective barrier against fire. The low-viscosity formula spreads rapidly, forming a film that seals off fuel surfaces and prevents vapor release, improving fire control and enhancing firefighter safety. Its unique expansion ratio ensures wide surface coverage with minimal product use.
Convenient and Compatible PackagingAvailable in 20L, 30L, and 200L drum sizes, this foam concentrate caters to diverse operational needs, from portable firefighting units to large-scale industrial storage. The formulation is fully compatible with most standard proportioning and application equipment, allowing straightforward integration into existing firefighting systems.
FAQ's of Aqueous Film Forming Foam:
Q: How does Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) work to suppress fires?
A: AFFF rapidly forms an aqueous film over the fuel surface, blocking oxygen and suppressing flammable vapors. This mechanism cools the fire area and helps prevent re-ignition, making it highly effective for Class A and B fire situations.
Q: What are the recommended usage and proportioning rates for this foam?
A: The foam concentrate is typically used at a 3% or 6% proportioning rate, depending on the hazard. This means 3 or 6 parts foam concentrate per 100 parts water, allowing flexible application for different fire scenarios.
Q: Where can this product be applied, and what types of fires is it suitable for?
A: It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor locations where Class A (solid combustibles) or Class B (flammable liquid) fires may occur. Common applications include warehouses, airports, oil terminals, and industrial sites.
Q: What is the procedure for storing this foam concentrate to maximize shelf life?
A: The concentrate maintains its effectiveness for up to 10 years when kept in sealed drums at temperatures between 0C and 49C, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations. Proper storage ensures consistent performance.
Q: What are the benefits of using this foam compared to other fire suppressants?
A: This AFFF offers rapid flame knockdown, low toxicity, broad compatibility with both fresh and sea water, and easy integration with standard firefighting equipment. Its quick spreading and film-forming ability enhance safety and reduce fire damage.
Q: Is the foam compatible with all types of water and equipment?
A: Yes, it is designed to be completely soluble in both fresh and sea water and works efficiently with most standard foam proportioning and application systems, making deployments flexible and cost-effective.
