FOAM CONCENTRATES - AFFF 6% - 20 LTR POLYCAN

AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) 6% is a highly effective, synthetic foam concentrate designed to combat Class B (flammable liquid) fires, including those involving hydrocarbons or polar solvents. Packaged in a 20-liter polycan, this concentrate is easy to store, transport, and deploy in emergency situations. When mixed with water at a 6% proportion, AFFF creates a thin film on the surface of burning fuels, smothering flames quickly and preventing re-ignition.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Rapid Fire Suppression

   • Forms a stable foam blanket that cuts off oxygen supply, extinguishing fires swiftly and reducing the risk of reignition.

2. Superior Spreading & Wetting

   • Creates an aqueous film on hydrocarbon surfaces, aiding in rapid cooling and preventing vapor release.

3. Versatile Compatibility

   • Compatible with various foam proportioning systems, including inline inductors, balanced pressure systems, and around-the-pump setups.

4. Easy Storage & Handling

   • Supplied in a robust 20-liter polycan, designed for convenient storage and transportation in marine, industrial, or commercial settings.

5. Long Shelf Life

   • Formulated to maintain effectiveness under proper storage conditions, ensuring consistent performance over an extended period.

6. Economical

   • The 6% concentrate dosage makes it cost-effective for large-scale firefighting operations.

Typical Applications

• Industrial & Petrochemical Facilities
  • Ideal for storage tanks, loading areas, and process units dealing with flammable liquids.
• Marine & Offshore
  • Suited for use on board ships, oil rigs, and port facilities where Class B fires are a primary concern.
• Municipal Fire Services
  • Offers reliable performance in urban firefighting scenarios involving fuel spills or flammable liquids.
• Airport Rescue & Firefighting (ARFF)
  • Widely employed in tackling aviation fuel fires on runways or within aircraft hangars.
