FAQ's of AFFF Foam Compund:
Q: How do I use the AFFF Foam Compound for fire suppression?
A: To use AFFF Foam Compound, dilute it as per your required concentration (3% or 6%) with fresh or sea water. Apply using appropriate fire-fighting equipment directly onto the fire surface, ensuring even coverage for maximum extinguishing effectiveness.
Q: What types of fires is AFFF Foam Compound suitable for?
A: This compound is specifically formulated for Class A (solid combustibles) and Class B (flammable liquids) fires, such as those found in oil, chemical, aircraft, and petrochemical environments.
Q: When should I choose a 3% concentration versus a 6% concentration?
A: Use the 3% concentration for general purpose and lower-risk scenarios, while the 6% concentration is ideal for high-risk environments with increased flammability or more severe fire hazards. Consult your fire safety guidelines for application specifics.
Q: Where can AFFF Foam Compound be stored safely?
A: Store the foam in HDPE barrels or drums at temperatures below 49C. Avoid freezing conditions and direct sunlight to preserve its effectiveness throughout its shelf life of up to three years.
Q: What is the process for applying AFFF Foam Compound to fires?
A: Mix the foam concentrate with water as specified, then use compatible fire-fighting equipment, such as nozzles or foam proportioners, to apply the solution. The positive spreading coefficient and high expansion ratio ensure swift formation of a foam blanket that helps suppress vapors and extinguish flames.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this foam compound?
A: Key benefits include fast extinguishing action, ease of use, compatibility with various water sources, water-proof foam layer, and reusability. Its non-conductive nature makes it safe for electrical environments, and it is suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial fire hazards.
Q: Is the AFFF Foam Compound reusable and water resistant?
A: Yes, the foam compound is reusable and forms a water-proof blanket that helps suppress re-ignition, providing long-lasting fire protection during emergency operations.
