Afff Foam Concentrate 3% Type
Afff Foam Concentrate 3 (Aqueous Film Forming Foam, abbreviated as AFFF) is an efficient fire-fighting foam solution. Its core advantage lies in the dual fire-extinguishing mechanism of "foam coverage + water film isolation", which can play an irreplaceable role in various special fire scenarios.

Aqueous film-forming foam liquid has significant advantages in dealing with non-water-soluble Class B fires (such as fires involving liquids like gasoline, diesel, kerosene, crude oil, etc., which do not mix with water)
Large-scale oil fires: When the fire involves extensive oil leakage (such as leakage from oil storage areas, oil tankers running aground and leaking oil), large oil tanks (single tank capacity ≥ 5000m³) or oil pool fires, the high fluidity of water film foam liquid can rapidly spread and cover the oil surface, generating a foam layer that can effectively isolate air. At the same time, the water vaporized from it forms a continuous water film on the oil surface. Due to the effect of fluorocarbon surfactants, this water film can spontaneously spread, further preventing the evaporation of oil vapor and isolating oxygen, thereby increasing the fire suppression speed to 2-3 times that of ordinary protein foam liquid. For example, in a 10000m³ gasoline tank fire, water film foam liquid can control the fire within 10 minutes, while protein foam liquid may take more than 30 minutes.
Concentrated Foam Liquid For Foam Machines
Aqueous film-forming foam liquid
Composition: Composed of various components such as fluorocarbon surfactants, fluorohydrocarbon surfactants, solvents, stabilizers, etc.
Fire extinguishing principle: After being mixed with water through a foam proportioning device, the output foam mixture is generated by the foam production and spraying equipment, and sprayed onto the burning oil surface. When the foam layer is formed, the water in it can create a very good water film on the fuel surface, isolating the fuel from the air and preventing contact between the fuel and air. With the dual effects of the foam and the protective film, it can quickly and efficiently extinguish oil fires.
Performance characteristics: It is low-energy consumption, requiring only a small amount of stirring energy. The produced foam has excellent fluidity and can quickly suppress the flames and extinguish oil fires. It can be used in combination with clear water and fresh water mixed solutions for fire extinguishing, is compatible with most proportioning devices and foam fire extinguishing devices, and can also be used in combination with compatible dry powder fire extinguishing agents.
Application scope: Widely used for extinguishing various types of B-class fires. Its general fire extinguishing performance can extinguish unknown or B-class fuel fires mixed with oil and polar solvents, and gasoline for non-leaded vehicles. It is suitable for "submerged spraying" to extinguish large oil tank fires. In the extinguishing of A-class fires, it is also an excellent wetting and penetration agent, capable of quickly extinguishing deep flames in wood piles, paper, rubber, and other commonly flammable materials. Widely applicable in oil fields, refineries, oil depots, ships, docks, airports, hangars, etc.
Storage precautions: Should be stored in a sealed manner in a cool, dry, and ventilated place, at a temperature of -5℃ to 40℃. Do not mix with other fire extinguishing agents to avoid affecting the effect.
For the efficient fire suppression needs in specific locations
The following locations have high fire risks and significant losses, and therefore require the priority use of Afff Foam Concentrate 3:
Airports and aircraft hangars: Aircraft fuel (such as aviation kerosene) is a low-viscosity non-water-soluble liquid. During a fire, the fire spreads extremely fast (up to 1-2 meters per second), and the rapid spreading ability of water film foam liquid (with a spreading speed of up to 0.5m/s) can cover the aircraft surface and ground fuel in a short time. It is the recommended airport fire-fighting foam liquid by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Ships and offshore platforms: The spaces in ship engine rooms and oil tanker cargo holds are enclosed and the fuel reserves are large. During a fire, the high temperature and thick smoke environment will increase the difficulty of firefighting. The high fluidity of water film foam liquid can be transported through pipelines to narrow spaces. The water film's fire-resistant performance can resist the high temperature inside the engine room (up to 800℃), and it has excellent seawater resistance (can be directly mixed with seawater), and no additional water source treatment is required.
Petrochemical plant's equipment area: Fires caused by leaks in petrochemical equipment (such as distillation towers and reaction vessels) are usually accompanied by high temperature, high pressure and complex pipeline layouts. Water film foam liquid can be sprayed along pipelines and equipment surfaces using handheld foam guns or fixed spraying devices to cover hidden fire sources. The combination of foam and water film can effectively prevent the continuous burning of fuel from equipment leakage.
Unsuitable scenarios: Avoiding misuse leading to failure
Afff Foam Concentrate 3 is highly effective, but it is not universal. The following scenarios are not recommended for use:
Pure water-soluble Class B fires (such as pure methanol, ethanol fires): Ordinary water film foam liquid will be dissolved by water-soluble liquids, and anti-soluble water film foam liquid (AFFF/AR) should be used instead;
Small-scale, low-cost fire situations (such as small oil barrel fires): Water film foam liquid is relatively expensive (about 3-5 times that of protein foam liquid), and it is not cost-effective for small-scale fires;
Low-temperature environment (temperature < -10℃ and without heating system): Ordinary water film foam liquid will lose its fluidity due to solvent solidification, and a dedicated anti-freezing type (with ethylene glycol added) should be selected; otherwise, it will clog the pipeline.
