PC-Fire® AFFF

PC Fire® AFFF 3% & 6%

FOAM CONCENTRATE

AFFF foam concentrates are designed for rapid fire knockdown by producing a thin aqueous film which spreads across the surface of the fuel, separating the fuel from oxygen. Thisis accomplished by allowing the foam solution to quickly drain from the foam bubble which in turn, affects long term sealability and burnback resistance.

The aqueous film is produced by the fluorocarbon surfactant (i.e. PFAS) reducing the surface tension of the foam solution to a point where the solution can be supported by the surface tension of the fuel. The effectiveness of the aqueous film is directly influenced by the surface tension of the fuel. The film tends to be more effective on fuels with higher surface tension such as diesel and jet fuels, and less effective on fuels with lower surface tension such as hexane and gasoline.

Applications

PC-Fire® AFFF is used at 6% concentration in fire suppression systems and manually to fight fires involving hydrocarbon fuels such as crude oil, gasoline, and fuel oils. It is not suitable for use on polar solvents or water miscible fuels such as alcohols, ketones, esters, and ethers. Typical installations include foam water sprinkler systems, aircraft hangars, loading racks,
process areas, etc. PC-Fire® AFFF Concentrate may be used for general fixed, semi-fixed, and emergency response firefighting applications.
✓ Oilfield, oil deports, petroleum refineries, large chemical plant
✓ The large oil tank by subsurface-injection
✓ Truck/rail loading or unloading facilities
✓ Docks/marine tankers
✓ Aircraft Rescue, aircraft hangars, helidecks, and terminals
✓ Mobile emergency response equipment
✓ As a wetting agent in combating fires in Class A materials such as wood, paper, and types.

USES

PC-Fire® AFFF is suitable for use in combination with:
✓ Soft or hard, fresh, brackish or sea water. (Usually, we offer two kinds of model.
1, Fresh-water type which suitable with soft, fresh water.
2, Sea-water type which suitable with soft or hard, fresh, brackish or sea water.) Kindly contact our sales term and confirm which one is better for you.
✓ Dry powder extinguishing agents either separately or as twin agent systems.
✓ Expanded protein-based or synthetic foam for a fire in sequence or simultaneously
