Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF)

Synthetic foams are based on synthetic surfactants.  Aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) are water-based and have the ability to spread over the surface of hydrocarbon-based liquids. They are designed for fast fire extinguishment of Class B hydrocarbon fuels such as crude oil, gasoline and fuel oil.

Available as a 1%, 3% or 6% concentrate

Not suitable for use on fuels which are polar solvents and water miscible such as alcohols, ketones, aldehydes and ethers.

Aqueous Film Forming Foam – Alcohol Resistant – Low Freeze (AFFF-AR-LF)

Alcohol resistant AFFF’s contain a polymeric membrane which prevents the foam blanket breaking down in the presence of alcohol and polar solvents.  AFFF-AR-LF’s are suitable for use on fuels which are polar solvents such as, alcohols, glycols, ketones and esters.  They also have low temperature properties down to -18°C.

Available as dual application concentrates:
AFFF-AR-LF 3 x 3%
AFFF-AR-LF 3 x 6%
