PRODUCT DETAILS

3%(AFFF、-20℃) Foam fire extinguishing agent

 

Overview: The 3% AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) Foam Fire Extinguishing Agent is a highly effective fire suppression solution, designed to control and extinguish fires involving flammable liquids, gases, and solid combustibles. The agent is a mixture of water, foam concentrate, and a film-forming agent, which creates a thin aqueous film that quickly spreads over burning fuel to suppress the fire. This foam is effective even at low temperatures, with an operational range as low as -20°C.

 

Scope of Application:

  • Flammable Liquids: Ideal for fighting fires caused by fuels such as gasoline, diesel, oil, and solvents, typically found in industrial settings, refineries, and storage tanks.
  • Class B Fires: Primarily used for Class B (liquid and gas) fires where the fuel can spread across the surface of the fire.
  • Marine & Aviation: Commonly used in marine vessels, aircraft, and refueling stations where flammable liquids are prevalent.
  • Storage Facilities: Suitable for use in warehouses and facilities that store flammable liquids, chemicals, or hazardous materials.
  • Cold Weather Operations: Its effectiveness at temperatures as low as -20°C makes it ideal for applications in cold climates, including outdoor fire suppression in winter conditions.

Features:

  1. Effective Fire Suppression:

    • The foam creates a film over the flammable liquid surface, effectively cutting off oxygen, which helps to suppress the fire.
    • It also cool down the surface temperature and prevents re-ignition.
  2. Cold-Resistant:

    • Designed to function effectively in temperatures as low as -20°C, making it suitable for regions with extreme weather conditions, such as northern areas or high-altitude installations.
  3. Fast Spreading:

    • The foam spreads quickly over the fuel surface, forming a blanket that isolates the fire from oxygen, allowing for faster fire knockdown.
  4. Environmental Considerations:

    • The 3% AFFF foam is often formulated to be biodegradable, reducing its environmental impact after application, especially in case of accidental discharges.
  5. Low Maintenance:

    • The foam concentrate has a long shelf life and is easy to maintain, making it a cost-effective option for fire protection systems that need to be reliable in emergency situations.
  6. Compatibility:

    • It is compatible with standard foam proportioning equipment, including foam chambers, monitors, and foam nozzles, providing versatile application options.
  7. Non-corrosive:

    • The foam agent is non-corrosive to most materials and will not cause damage to engines, tanks, or equipment upon contact, making it safe for use in various environments.
  8. Versatile for Different Fire Classes:

    • Suitable for Class A (combustible solids) and Class B (flammable liquids) fires, making it versatile for different fire hazards.

This foam agent is widely used in industrial, transportation, and emergency services where quick and reliable fire suppression is required under varying environmental conditions.
