AQUEUOUS FILM FORMING FOAM (AFFF) C6

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
FireChem AFFF is superior quality aqueous film-forming foam which can be used at the specified concentration to extinguish fires of
non – polar hydrocarbon fuels. This extinguishing agent is suitable for use with most types of proportioning and discharge equipment.
FireChem AFFF foam concentrates are designed for rapid fire knockdown by producing a thin aqueous film which helps to prevent the
release of fuel vapours. The foam blanket from which the film forming liquid drains separates oxygen from the fuel surface,
extinguishes the fire and prevents re-ignition.
FireChem AFFF provides excellent penetrating and wetting qualities when used on Class A fires also. The water content of the foam
provides a cooling effect. The aqueous film is produced by the fluorocarbon surfactant reducing the surface tension of the foam
solution to a point where the solution can be supported by the surface tension of the fuel. This is important when extinguishing
deep-seated fires in wood, paper, rubber and other ordinary combustibles.
