6%(AFFF/AR、-15℃) Foam fire extinguishing agent

PRODUCT DETAILS

Overview:

The 6% (AFFF/AR, -15°C) Foam Fire Extinguishing Agent is a specialized Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) concentrate that incorporates Alcohol-Resistant (AR) properties. This foam concentrate is specifically formulated for combating flammable liquid fires and fires involving polar solvents (e.g., ethanol, methanol) in marine, offshore, industrial, and chemical handling environments. The 6% concentration provides superior coverage and effective fire suppression. It is capable of performing in extreme cold conditions (down to -15°C), making it suitable for cold-weather applications and harsh climates.

This foam is designed to quickly suppress fires involving hydrocarbons and alcohol-based fuels, offering enhanced firefighting performance in scenarios where seawater may be used or where cold conditions are a factor. The combination of AFFF and AR properties ensures that this foam can handle a wide variety of flammable liquid fires while maintaining effectiveness in environments where typical foams would fail.

Scope of Application:

Marine and Offshore Applications:
- Ideal for use on oil tankers, cargo ships, offshore oil rigs, and platforms, where the risk of flammable liquid fires is high. It is especially useful in marine firefighting systems where seawater is often used for extinguishing fires. The foam's seawater resistance ensures it can still perform effectively when mixed with seawater, which is commonly used in marine fire suppression systems.
- The AR (Alcohol-Resistant) feature makes it perfect for offshore fuel storage and marine refueling operations, where alcohol-based solvents or fuels may be present.
Cold-Weather Environments (Effective at -15°C):
- The foam is specifically formulated to perform effectively even in cold-weather conditions, with operation as low as -15°C. This feature is critical for offshore platforms, fuel storage facilities, chemical plants, and maritime vessels operating in northern latitudes or sub-zero environments.
- Its ability to maintain low-temperature performance ensures that the foam remains fluid and effective for emergency use, regardless of extreme weather conditions.
Industrial and Petrochemical Facilities:
- In industrial settings such as refineries, petrochemical plants, and chemical storage depots, this foam is highly effective in suppressing fires involving flammable liquids (such as crude oil, gasoline, and solvents) as well as polar solvents like methanol and ethanol.
- The foam is used in fixed foam systems, foam monitors, and mobile firefighting units to tackle large-scale fires, offering a rapid and efficient solution for fire suppression.
Fuel Handling and Chemical Storage:
- Suitable for fuel handling, fuel tanks, and chemical storage areas, where alcohol-based fuels and flammable liquids are present. The foam provides effective fire suppression in situations where both hydrocarbon-based fuels and polar solvent fuels are stored or processed.
- The AR properties make it particularly valuable in chemical manufacturing plants and fuel depots, where alcohol-based chemicals are frequently handled.
Emergency Response:
- The foam is ideal for firefighting teams and emergency response units operating in challenging conditions such as offshore fires, fuel tank fires, or chemical plant incidents. It can be used in fire trucks, firefighting equipment, and portable fire extinguishers to rapidly suppress flammable liquid fires.
- Its seawater resistance and cold-weather performance make it suitable for rapid deployment in marine environments, coastal regions, and emergency response situations where both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires may occur.

Features and Characteristics:

Alcohol-Resistant (AR) Properties:
- The foam is equipped with Alcohol-Resistant (AR) technology, which allows it to effectively suppress polar solvent fires (e.g., ethanol, methanol) that are more difficult to extinguish with traditional foams. This is especially important in chemical plants, fuel depots, and marine refueling stations where alcohol-based fuels or chemicals are common.
- The AR feature forms a protective barrier on the surface of the alcohol-based fuel, preventing the foam from being absorbed by the solvent and ensuring continuous suppression of the fire.
6% Concentration for High Efficiency:
- The foam concentrate is formulated at a 6% concentration, which ensures high foam expansion and efficient coverage. This concentration provides rapid fire suppression by quickly forming a thick foam blanket over the burning liquid, cutting off oxygen and preventing re-ignition.
- It ensures that the foam forms a strong, durable film that remains intact over the surface of the liquid, providing lasting protection and extinguishing fires more efficiently.
Cold-Weather Performance (Effective at -15°C):
- The foam is designed to remain effective at temperatures as low as -15°C, making it suitable for use in cold climates and harsh environmental conditions. Its cold-weather performance ensures that it does not freeze and retains its fire suppression effectiveness even in extreme temperatures.
- This feature is particularly important for applications in offshore oil rigs, northern latitudes, and chemical storage areas where firefighting systems must operate in low temperatures.
Seawater Resistance:
- The foam is resistant to seawater, which makes it ideal for marine firefighting operations. When used in marine environments, seawater is often used as the extinguishing medium, and this foam ensures consistent performance even when mixed with seawater. This seawater-resistant feature ensures that the foam remains effective during marine emergencies and offshore fire suppression.
Non-Corrosive and Equipment Safe:
- The foam is non-corrosive to metals, which ensures that it will not damage sensitive equipment, structures, or infrastructure, even in environments where marine equipment and offshore rigs are exposed to frequent firefighting.
- This makes it suitable for long-term use in industrial and offshore environments where infrastructure integrity is essential.
Fast Action and High Coverage:
- The foam provides rapid fire suppression, with its ability to form a film-forming layer that smothers the fire, reducing oxygen supply and preventing re-ignition. Its high expansion means that it covers large surface areas quickly, effectively dealing with large fuel spills or tank fires.
- The foam offers complete fire suppression, even in difficult conditions involving flammable liquid fires and polar solvent fires.
Environmentally Safe and Biodegradable:
- The foam concentrate is biodegradable, making it safe for the environment, especially in marine and offshore applications where environmental impact is a concern.
- It is non-toxic and safe for human exposure, reducing environmental risks when used for fire suppression.
