| COMPOSITION |
: |
It is a
synthetic polyvalent foam forming liquid, psuedo-plastic consisting of
surface active substances and polymer additives. |
| APPLICATION |
: |
This foam
compound is used for rapid action on surface fires. It produces a
foam carpet having good resistance to contamination of hydrocarbons and
to dehydration of polar solvents.
|
|
|
It is to be
used in 3% concentration on hydrocarbons and at 6% concentration on
polar solvents. The solution are also powerful wetting
agents. They suppress fires in Class A materials move effectively
than plain water.

Here's how
Alcohol type foam works :- |
|
|
ALCOHOL /
POLAR Solvents Resistant Foam on Water Soluble Flammable Liquids forms a
cohesive thin polymeric layer ( skin or membrane ) at the interface
between foam and fuel This thin layer protects the foam and
its aqueous film breakdown / destruction of foam by polar
solvents. If the protective layer should become disrupted by
agitation, more of the polymeric layer should become disrupted by
agitation, more of the polymeric layer is produced by means of
regeneration action known as self-handling. This unique action
enables the foam to extinguish and secure effectively; thus providing
burnback protection far greater than conventional non AFFF agents. When used on hydrocarbons ( Water insoluble flammable liquids ),
ALCOHOL / POLAR Solvent Resistant foam concentrate produces the same
rugged aqueous film on fuel surface as a Standard AFFF agent.
