HD AR-AFFF 3X6-C6

HD AR-AFFF 3X6-C6 is an Alcohol Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam concentrate, formulated with new generation C6 based fluorinated surfactants which are environmentally safer. HD AR-AFFF 3X6-C6 is formulated with C6 based Fluoro-surfactants, hydrocarbon surfactants, polysaccharides and solvents. It produces thin yet strong aqueous 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 3X6-C6 is intended for use at 3% solution in fresh, sea/salt or hard water for hydrocarbon fires and at 6% for polar solvents fires. APPLICATION HD AR-AFFF 3X6-C6 used in high risk areas where hydrocarbons (such as crude oil, gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel) are stored, processed or transported. It is used extensively on fire-fighting intervention vehicles at major international airports and military bases where fast extinguishment with limited quantities of foam is essential for saving lives. Its applications also include hydrocarbon storage tanks, process areas, warehouses, loading racks, power stations, port terminals, onshore and offshore installations. HD AR-AFFF 3X6-C6 can also be used as a wetting agent in combating fires in Class A materials such as wood, paper & tyres. PROPORTIONING HD AR-AFFF 3X6-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-thePump Proportioners, Spray Fog Nozzles, Monitors, Foam Makers, Foam Chambers, Foam Pourers, Rim Seal Foam Pourers, Foam-Water Sprinklers etc. APPROVALS AND LISTING UL Listed as per UL-162 standard
