    HD Ar-Afff Foam Concentrate: Alcohol Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam Concentrate (Arafff) Compatibility

    Uploaded by

    DHAVAL PANCHAL
    This document summarizes information about an alcohol resistant aqueous film forming foam concentrate (AR-AFFF) used to extinguish fires involving polar solvents like alcohols. The AR-AFFF forms a thin polymeric film that protects the foam without being destroyed by polar solvents. It is available in 3% or 6% concentrations and can be used with fresh or salt water. The AR-AFFF has a minimum 10 year shelf life if properly stored and is compatible with dry chemicals and other foams. Its typical applications include storage tanks, docks, and chemical plants.

    HD AR-AFFF FOAM CONCENTRATE

    ALCOHOL RESISTANT AQUEOUS FILM


    FORMING FOAM CONCENTRATE (ARAFFF)

    HD AR-AFFF is a foam concentrate mainly used to COMPATIBILITY:


    extinguish alcohol containing polar solvent fires.
    AR-AFFF is also known as ARC (Alcohol Resistant HD AR-AFFF is compatible with all types of dry
    Concentrate), ATC (Alcohol Type Concentrate), powders and equivalent foams.
    AGFFF (Aqueous Gel Film Forming Foam), MPF
    (Multipurpose Foam) or UF (Universal Foam). It
    exhibits quick fire control and is ideal for rapid SHELF-LIFE:
    extinguishment. The foam concentrate contains
    polysaccharide, which forms a pseudo plastic film HD AR-AFFF has a minimum shelf life of 10 years
    on the surface of the polar solvents. It forms a in tropical conditions and if properly stored in its
    cohesive thin polymeric film at the interface original container or tanks suitable for storage.
    between foam and the water soluble Polar Refer Technical Bulletin for storage condition
    solvents. This thin polysaccharide film protects the guidelines.
    foam without destroying the aqueous film by polar
    solvents. The polymeric film has self-adhering
    characteristics whereby the film, if disturbed, gets STORAGE:
    regenerated by itself. The foam forms an aqueous
    film like AFFF on surface of hydrocarbon solvents. Storage temperature should be below 49 °C. The
    product can withstand intermittent, short time
    exposure up to 60 °C temp. Ensure containers are
    APPLICATIONS: not directly exposed to sunlight & heat for a long
    period. It is unaffected by freeze/thaw cycles.

    seawater. organisms.
    • Also available as Freeze Protected type.
    • Suitable for application with standard low
    expansion foam making equipments and
    fire suppression systems.
    • Typical applications include storage tanks,
    loading racks, docks, process areas,
    warehouses, spills, etc.
