AFFF

Synthetic Fluorinated Foams

AFFF 3%

1. Description
Synthetic foam concentrate, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), designed to combat hydrocarbon fires. It provides very rapid extinguishment and offers good protection against re-ignition, suitable for fighting fires involving liquid fuels (hydrocarbons) and solids. Produced using C6 fluorinated surfactants, it contains no PFOS or PFOA.

2. Application
Suitable for use in low-expansion foam systems (hand nozzles, monitors, foam chambers, etc.) and with non-aspirating equipment (fog/jet nozzles, sprinklers, etc.). It can also be used with medium-expansion foam equipment.

3. Proportioning
The recommended proportioning ratio is 3%, both with fresh water and seawater. It can be proportioned using inline inductors, pump systems, bladder tanks, self-aspirating nozzles, etc.

4. Performance
The product allows for rapid fire extinguishment and provides strong resistance to re-ignition. It is UL-162 listed for use with portable equipment on hydrocarbon fires, Type III application at 0.10 gal/min·ft². It also complies with EN 1568-3:2008 for hydrocarbon fires using low-expansion nozzles (Class IB), and with ICAO Level B.
