Description

3%x3% AR-AFFF (ALCOHOL RESISTANT AQUEOUS FILM FORMING FOAM) HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6
3%x3% AR-AFFF (ALCOHOL RESISTANT AQUEOUS FILM FORMING FOAM)
HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6

HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 is an Alcohol Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam concentrate, specially formulated with new generation C6 based fluorinated surfactants which are environmentally safer. HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 is formulated with C6 based fluoro surfactants, hydrocarbon surfactants, polysaccharides and solvents. It produces thin yet strong aquous film on hydrocarbon fuel surface, sealing the surface and preventing fuel vapour release. The foam spreads rapidly on fuel surface due to positive spreading  provided by fluoro surfactants while the foam blanket excludes oxygen from the fuel surface and provides cooling effect leading to fast flame knockdown and extinguishment.
Polysaccharide film is produced when the foam solution comes in contact with a water miscible polar solvent. This polymer film acts as raft to support the foam blanket on the surface of the polar fuel. Foam blanket cuts off oxygen from fuel surface and cools it thereby
providing fast knockdown and fire extinguishment. HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 is intended for use at 3% solution in fresh, sea/salt or hard water for both hydrocarbon and polar solvents fires. APPLICATION HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 is suitable for Class B fires of Hydrocarbons like crude oil, gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, kerosene etc. and polar solvents like alcohols, ketones, esters, acetates etc. It is also recommended
for aromatic hydrocarbon fires of benzene, xylene, toluene & their derivatives. HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 can also be used as a wetting
agent in combating fires in Class A materials such as wood, paper, and tyres. PROPORTIONING HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 can be used with various types of Foam Proportioning & Discharge Devices such as Portable and Fixed Foam Proportioners, Branch Pipes, Foam Bladder Tanks, Ratio Controllers and Around-the-Pump Proportioners, Spray Fog Nozzles, Monitors, Foam Makers, Foam Chambers,
Foam Pourers, Rim Seal Foam Pourers, Foam-Water Sprinklers etc. APPROVALS AND LISTINGS UL Listed as per UL-162 standard
COMPATIBILITY HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 is compatible with dry powders and other equivalent foams.
