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

PRODUCT DETAILS

Overview:

The 6% (AFFF/AR, -15°C) Seawater Resistant Foam Fire Extinguishing Agent is a highly effective fire suppression concentrate designed to combat Class B fires involving flammable liquids such as oils, fuels, solvents, chemicals, and alcohol-based products. It is a dual-purpose foam combining Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) and Alcohol-Resistant (AR) capabilities, making it especially effective for polar solvent fires (e.g., alcohol-based fuels) in addition to conventional flammable liquid fires.

This foam concentrate has a 6% concentration, ensuring high-quality foam generation and enhanced fire suppression capabilities. It is specifically formulated to perform effectively even in harsh environments, with seawater resistance and cold-weather functionality down to -15°C. This combination of features makes it particularly suitable for marine, offshore, and industrial applications where both seawater availability and extreme temperature conditions are factors.

Scope of Application:

Marine and Offshore Environments:
- Ideal for marine firefighting, where seawater is commonly available for firefighting, the 6% AFFF/AR foam ensures maximum efficiency even when mixed with seawater. It is effective in combating both traditional flammable liquids and polar solvent fires, such as alcohol-based fuels, that might be encountered in tankers, cargo ships, offshore platforms, and oil rigs.
- This foam is a key solution in the shipping industry for managing fire risks on ships and vessels transporting both conventional flammable liquids and hazardous chemicals.
Cold-Weather Environments:
- The foam can effectively operate in temperatures as low as -15°C, making it suitable for use in regions with extreme cold weather conditions. It ensures reliable fire suppression in winter operations on offshore oil rigs, fuel depots, and maritime vessels operating in polar or high-altitude regions.
- The foam’s cold-weather performance ensures that it won’t freeze or lose its effectiveness in environments with freezing temperatures, providing continuous protection in harsh climates.
Alcohol-Based Fuels and Solvents:
- The inclusion of Alcohol-Resistant (AR) technology makes this foam highly effective for suppressing fires involving polar solvents, such as alcohol-based fuels (e.g., ethanol, methanol) and industrial solvents. This capability is critical for industries that handle or transport alcohols and solvents.
- It is commonly used in chemical plants, fuel storage facilities, refineries, and petrochemical industries, where both conventional and alcohol-based fuels are present.
Industrial Applications:
- This foam is also suitable for use in industrial settings, including refineries, chemical plants, and petrochemical storage tanks, where flammable liquids and polar solvents pose significant fire hazards. It can be deployed in fixed foam systems, foam monitors, and portable fire extinguishers to provide rapid fire suppression.
- The foam’s seawater resistance also makes it ideal for use in coastal refineries, oil terminals, and offshore facilities, where seawater may be utilized for firefighting.
Transportation and Storage:
- It is effective for firefighting in fuel storage terminals, fuel transport vehicles, and airports, where large quantities of flammable liquids and alcohol-based fuels are handled and stored. The foam can be used in emergency response units, fire trucks, and mobile foam systems to tackle large fires quickly and efficiently.

Features and Characteristics:

Seawater Resistance:
- The foam is designed to perform effectively when mixed with seawater, making it ideal for marine firefighting systems where seawater is used as the extinguishing medium. Even when seawater is incorporated, the foam maintains its stability, film-forming ability, and fire suppression efficiency.
- This seawater resistance is especially valuable in offshore oil rigs, tankers, chemical vessels, and maritime fire protection systems, ensuring reliable fire suppression in marine environments.
6% Concentration for High Efficiency:
- The 6% concentrate ensures that the foam forms a thicker, more durable blanket over flammable liquids, providing effective fire suppression and protection. The foam creates a film over the liquid surface, which cuts off oxygen, smothers flames, and prevents re-ignition.
- The higher foam concentration increases foam stability and enhances suppression speed, allowing it to handle both large-scale fires and persistent fires involving high-risk materials.
Alcohol-Resistant (AR) Technology:
- The inclusion of Alcohol-Resistant (AR) technology allows this foam to effectively tackle polar solvent fires (e.g., ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol), which are particularly challenging to suppress with conventional foams.
- The foam forms a protective film over alcohol-based fuels, preventing their absorption into the foam and allowing the foam to continue performing even in the presence of these flammable, water-miscible liquids.
Cold-Weather Performance (Effective at -15°C):
- Designed for extreme cold environments, this foam remains effective in temperatures as low as -15°C. It will not freeze or lose its effectiveness even in freezing conditions, making it a reliable choice for offshore platforms, marine vessels, and fuel storage facilities in polar or temperate regions.
- This cold-weather capability ensures continuous fire suppression capabilities in harsh climates where other foams might fail or become ineffective.
Non-Corrosive and Safe to Use:
- The foam is non-corrosive to sensitive equipment and infrastructure, making it safe for use in maritime, offshore, and industrial environments where costly equipment must be protected from damage.
- It is also safe for personnel and has a low toxicity, ensuring it can be safely used in emergency situations with minimal risk to human health or the environment.
Long Shelf Life and Low Maintenance:
- The foam concentrate has a long shelf life, meaning it can be stored for extended periods without degrading. This makes it an ideal choice for emergency response systems where readiness is essential.
- The foam requires minimal maintenance, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term use in industrial and maritime fire suppression systems.
Environmental Safety:
- The foam is biodegradable, minimizing its impact on the marine environment and surrounding ecosystems if discharged. This feature is especially important for marine firefighting operations where foam use is common in proximity to water bodies, reducing the risk of environmental damage.
