3%(AFFF/AR、-15℃)-Seawater resistant Foam fire extinguishing agent

PRODUCT DETAILS

Overview:

The 3% (AFFF/AR, -15°C) Seawater Resistant Foam Fire Extinguishing Agent is a specialized foam concentrate that combines Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) technology with Alcohol-Resistant (AR) properties. Designed to be effective in extreme cold conditions (down to -15°C), this foam is particularly well-suited for marine, offshore, industrial, and petrochemical environments where flammable liquid fires or polar solvent fires (such as alcohol-based fuels) pose significant risks.

This foam concentrate provides superior fire suppression in seawater environments, making it highly effective in marine firefighting operations and areas where seawater may be used as an extinguishing medium. It is a lightweight, low-concentration solution (3%) that offers quick coverage and high efficiency, particularly when dealing with flammable liquids and alcohol-based fuels.

Scope of Application:

Marine and Offshore Applications:
- Ideal for oil tankers, cargo ships, offshore oil rigs, and marine refueling operations where the risk of flammable liquid fires is high. The foam’s seawater resistance allows it to perform effectively when mixed with seawater, which is commonly used in marine firefighting systems.
- The AR (Alcohol-Resistant) feature is particularly valuable in marine refueling stations, offshore fuel storage tanks, and other scenarios where alcohol-based fuels (e.g., ethanol, methanol) are handled.
Cold-Weather Environments (Effective at -15°C):
- Formulated to operate in extreme cold, the foam maintains its effectiveness at temperatures as low as -15°C. This is crucial for applications in northern latitudes, offshore environments, and fuel storage facilities where low temperatures can impede the performance of regular firefighting agents.
- Suitable for offshore platforms, northern maritime operations, and industrial facilities in regions where low temperatures are a concern.
Industrial and Petrochemical Facilities:
- Ideal for use in refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical storage facilities, and fuel depots where the risk of flammable liquid fires and polar solvent fires is high. The AR properties provide added safety when fighting fires caused by alcohol-based fuels or polar solvents such as methanol and ethanol.
- The foam can be used in fixed foam systems, mobile firefighting equipment, and foam monitors for both flame control and fire suppression.
Fuel and Chemical Storage:
- This foam is suitable for fuel storage facilities, chemical storage areas, and fuel handling operations, especially in environments where both hydrocarbons and alcohol-based solvents are present.
- The AR feature ensures that the foam will maintain its effectiveness when fighting polar solvent fires, while the seawater resistance allows for its use in marine fuel depots and other areas near water sources.
Emergency Response in Marine and Industrial Settings:
- The foam is ideal for emergency response units and firefighting teams tasked with handling fires in maritime environments or industrial plants. It provides quick and efficient suppression for large fires involving flammable liquids, alcohol-based fuels, and chemicals.
- Its seawater resistance makes it particularly useful in offshore fire fighting, where seawater is often the primary medium used for firefighting.

Features and Characteristics:

Alcohol-Resistant (AR) Technology:
- The foam incorporates Alcohol-Resistant (AR) technology, allowing it to form a protective barrier on the surface of polar solvent fires, such as alcohol-based fuels (ethanol, methanol), which are harder to suppress with regular foams. The AR properties ensure the foam remains intact, preventing the solvent from absorbing the foam and providing effective fire suppression.
3% Concentration:
- The 3% concentration allows for efficient foam expansion and effective coverage. With a lower concentration, this foam ensures that smaller amounts of concentrate can be used to generate a large volume of foam, making it economical and easy to deploy while still providing high suppression power for flammable liquid fires.
Cold-Weather Performance (Effective at -15°C):
- The foam is specifically designed to function effectively at temperatures as low as -15°C, ensuring reliable performance even in extreme cold. It maintains its liquid consistency and firefighting efficacy in sub-zero environments, ensuring quick deployment and suppression, even under harsh winter conditions.
Seawater Resistance:
- The foam is designed to be resistant to seawater, which is a critical feature for marine firefighting operations. The ability to use seawater without compromising the foam’s performance ensures that it remains effective in offshore firefighting systems, where seawater is frequently used as an extinguishing medium.
- This seawater resistance makes it particularly effective for offshore oil rigs, vessels, and marine fire suppression systems, ensuring that the foam does not lose its fire suppression capabilities when mixed with seawater.
Non-Corrosive and Equipment Safe:
- The foam is non-corrosive, which makes it safe for use on marine equipment, sensitive infrastructure, and firefighting equipment. This ensures that even after multiple applications, the foam will not cause corrosion or damage to metals, tanks, pipes, or machinery.
- The foam’s non-toxic nature ensures safety for personnel handling it in both marine and industrial settings.
Quick Action and High Coverage:
- The foam provides fast coverage and effective suppression by forming a thick foam blanket that smothers the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply and preventing re-ignition. Its quick action and high expansion capabilities make it suitable for quickly tackling large fires in flammable liquid storage, fuel handling, and chemical facilities.
Environmentally Safe:
- The foam is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it safe for use in marine and offshore environments, where environmental impact is a key concern. The low toxicity ensures that it can be safely used in eco-sensitive areas without posing a long-term environmental risk.
