General: 3% AFFF is a high performance aqueous film forming foam concentrate suitable for use at 3% on hydrocarbon fuels such as petrol, crude oil, diesel fuels and aviation kerosene. Description: Pale yellow liquid Density: 1.01 ± 0.02 pH: 7.4 approx. Surface Tension: 18.5 dynes Viscosity: <18 mm2 Freezing Point: -2o C Sediment ≤0.01 % v/v Application: The 3% AFFF is an extinguishing agent that produces a stable foam blanket for fire suppression and vapour control. The foam blanket steadily releases water to cool hot fuels. The product is to be mixed at 3 parts foam concentrate and 97 parts water. The foam concentrate contains fluorosurfactants that produces a film forming action across the surface of the burning fuel to give a very fast knock down performance. It will generate foam through air aspirating devices to produce a foam expansion rate of between 6 : 1 and 12 : 1 depending upon the equipment. 3% AFFF is suitable for use through all types of fixed systems, sprinkler systems, in line proportioners (fixed or portable), branchpipes and monitors. 3% AFFF is measured against the UK MoD 40-42 2002 Foam Liquids Fire Extinguishing (Concentrates, Foam, and Fire Extinguishing) and meets this standard. Environment: 3% AFFF is manufactured from fluorosurfactants, surface active agents and foaming agents to produce a very low environmental impact. It is fully biodegradable and meets AS 4351-1996 standards for biodegradability. The product and the resulting foam solution can be treated in biological waste water treatment systems. Shelf Life: AFFF 3% will store for 15 years plus, provided the product is kept under the correct storage conditions. Typically, unopened packaging will meet these conditions. The product has a neutral pH and can be stored in vacuum vented tanks manufactured from painted mild steel, fibreglass, stainless steel and HDPE. Compatibility: 3% AFFF is chemically compatible with major manufacturers’ AFFF foam concentrate. As per NFPA 11 requirement: “Different brands of the same type shall not be mixed unless data are provided by the manufacturer”. 3% AFFF is compatible with finished foam solutions (expanded foam) of synthetic foams such as AFFF and AR-AFFF as well as all brands of Fluoroprotein, FFFP and AR-FFFP. AFFF 3% is compatible with fresh, salt and brackish water (including bore water) as well as dry chemical powders and twin agent systems. Packaging: The liquid concentrate comes in the following: 600ml charges, 20L pail, 200L drum, 1000L IBC Foam Properties: Expansion Ratio ≥7: 1 25% Drainage Time ≥ 3mins 30 secs
