General information
Full name: Aquafom AFFF type Synthetic fluorine-containing film-forming foam special purpose concentrates to extinguish flammable liquids
Purpose and scope
Aquafom AFFF type Synthetic fluorine-containing film-forming foam special purpose concentrates are designed to extinguish fires class A and B in accordance with GOST 27331. The foam concentrate is an aqueous solution of fluorosynthetic surface-active substances (FPAS), hydrocarbon surfactants with stabilizing and frost-resistant additives.
Modifications
Aquafom AFFF type foam concentrates are divided into 2 types.
- Aquafom-IN is a synthetic fluorine-containing film-forming foam special purpose concentrate designed to extinguish fires of water-insoluble (non-polar) combustible liquids with low expansion foam. May be used for subsurface suppression;
- Aquafom-INSV is a synthetic fluorine-containing film-forming foam special purpose concentrate to extinguish fires of water-insoluble (non-polar) combustible liquids with foam of low, medium and high expansion (universal).
The mechanism of action of foam concentrates of this type when extinguishing with low expansion foam is to isolate a combustible substance with a self-spreading film of the foam concentrate solution, end oxygen access to the fire bed and decrease the temperature due to cooling properties by the foam concentrate solution. Due to the self-dissolve ability and tightening vapor breakthroughs of flammable liquids, a thin film provides effective fire extinction and protects from burnback for up to several hours.
The mechanism of action of Aquafom-INSV when using high expansion foam is similar to that of S type foam concentrate. When using the Aquafom-INSV foam concentrate for extinguishing medium expansion foam, an intermediate mechanism of action is realized: insulating layers are formed of both foam and film. A detailed description is provided in the subsection “General information about foam firefighting technologies”.
Modifications of Aquafom-IN and Aquafom-INSV depending on the volume concentration of the foam concentrate in the premix and pour point are:
- Aquafom-IN 1%, 3% and 6% with pour points from minus 15 ºС max to minus 60 ºС max;
- Aquafom-INSV 1% with pour points from minus 15 ºС max to minus 30 ºС max;
- Aquafom-INSV 3% and 6% with pour points from minus 15 ºС max to minus 50 ºС max.

Fire extinguishing rate
The intensity of the Aquafom-IN and Aquafom-INSV foam concentrate solution supply for extinguishing fires with foam of low and medium expansion is adopted in accordance with SP 155.13130.2014 and other regulatory documents.
When calculating fire extinguishing installations with foam of low, medium and high expansion, the requirements of SP 5.13130.2009, sections 5, 6 and 7, annexes B and Г should be taken into consideration.
Environmental protection
Aquafom-IN and Aquafom-INSV foam concentrates are biodegradable products. According to GOST 32509-2013, biodegradability class 2: “moderately degradable” substances. The foam concentrates are allowed to discharge into industrial wastewater after diluting it with water to the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of surfactants equal 20 mg/dm3 under the active substance. MPC of the foam concentrate in the water of economic and cultural objects - 0.5 mg/dm3.
Wastewater generated by flushing equipment is discharged into an industrial sewer, from where it flows to biological treatment plants.
In the process of production and use of Aquafom-IN and Aquafom-INSV foam concentrates no secondary hazardous compounds are formed.
