PRODUCT DETAILS

6%(S、-15℃)-Seawater resistant Foam fire extinguishing agent

 

Overview:

The 6% Seawater Resistant Foam Fire Extinguishing Agent (S) is a highly specialized foam concentrate designed for suppressing fires in marine and offshore environments. This foam is specifically formulated to be resistant to seawater, making it ideal for use in situations where fires may occur on ships, offshore platforms, or other marine structures. With a concentration of 6%, the foam provides a robust solution for large-scale liquid fires, especially those involving flammable fuels such as oil or gasoline. It is effective even in cold weather conditions as low as -15°C, making it suitable for use in harsh climates or during winter operations.

 

Scope of Application:

  • Marine and Offshore Applications: Widely used for fire suppression on ships, oil rigs, and offshore platforms, where seawater may be present and can be used as part of the fire suppression process.
  • Class B Fires: Designed primarily for Class B fires (flammable liquids), such as fires caused by petroleum products, fuels, solvents, and oils commonly found in marine vessels, refueling stations, and cargo tanks.
  • Fuel Storage and Transportation: Ideal for environments that handle flammable liquids such as fuel storage tanks, fuel transfer systems, and marine fuel docks.
  • Cold Weather Operations: Effective at temperatures as low as -15°C, making it ideal for offshore and cold-weather environments where extreme temperatures may be a concern.
  • Marine Rescue and Firefighting: Can be used in emergency firefighting scenarios on water bodies, particularly where seawater resistance is critical to foam performance.

 

Features:

  1. Seawater Resistance:

    • The foam is specifically formulated to be resistant to seawater, meaning it maintains its effectiveness even when mixed with seawater, which can otherwise dilute or degrade traditional foam concentrates.
    • This seawater compatibility ensures that the foam remains stable and effective, providing reliable suppression in marine environments where seawater is readily available for firefighting.
  2. Higher Concentration (6%):

    • The 6% concentration produces a more robust foam with better coverage and durability, which is necessary for handling larger fires or fires involving volatile liquids.
    • The higher foam concentration also allows for better film formation, providing more effective fire suppression and preventing re-ignition.
  3. Cold-Resistant (Effective at -15°C):

    • The foam is specially designed to perform in cold temperatures as low as -15°C, which is crucial for marine operations in colder climates or during winter months, where traditional foam agents may fail or become less effective.
  4. High Efficiency and Fast Action:

    • The foam is highly efficient at suppressing Class B fires by quickly forming a film on the surface of flammable liquids, effectively cutting off oxygen supply and suppressing the flames.
    • The foam quickly spreads over the fire, creating a thick foam blanket that provides quick and sustained suppression.
  5. Environmentally Safe:

    • The foam is often formulated to be biodegradable and environmentally friendly, ensuring minimal impact on marine ecosystems and wildlife in case of accidental discharge into the environment.
    • The foam concentrate is designed to meet marine environmental standards, making it a responsible choice for offshore and marine firefighting applications.
  6. Non-Corrosive and Safe to Use:

    • The foam is non-corrosive to equipment, vessels, and marine structures, ensuring that it does not cause damage to the materials it comes in contact with, which is especially important in the harsh marine environment.
    • It is safe for use around sensitive equipment and structures, reducing the risk of damage during firefighting efforts.
  7. Versatile Application:

    • It can be used in foam systems that are deployed in marine fire suppression setups, including fixed foam installations, mobile foam units, and foam monitors that operate on ships, offshore platforms, and tank farms.
    • It is also compatible with standard foam proportioning equipment like foam chambers, foam nozzles, and high-expansion foam systems, providing flexibility in various firefighting scenarios.
  8. Low Maintenance and Easy to Store:

    • The foam concentrate has a long shelf life and is easy to store, making it cost-effective for long-term use and ready for emergency response whenever required.
    • It requires minimal maintenance and is easy to integrate into existing firefighting systems.
