AR-AFFF 3% – UL & EN Approved Firefighting Foam

Maximum Efficiency in High-Risk Fire Suppression

When dealing with complex fire hazards across hydrocarbon and polar fuel types, the right foam agent can make the difference between control and catastrophe. That’s why SILVER STRING CHEMICALS proudly offers a UL and EN approved Alcohol-Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AR-AFFF) 3%, engineered for reliable performance in the most demanding environments.

Superior Physical Properties

Our AR-AFFF agent appears as a clear to light yellow liquid, maintaining high stability across various climates. It features:

• Specific gravity: 1.00 to 1.05 g/ml

• Viscosity: 1500 to 2000 cps at 20°C

• pH range: 6.5 to 8.5

These properties allow it to flow effectively through foam systems and prevent corrosion in storage tanks or pipelines.

High Suppression Performance

Unlike standard foams, AR-AFFF forms a durable, sealing film that suppresses vapors and prevents fire reignition. It performs well against:

• Hydrocarbon fuels (e.g., petrol, diesel)

• Polar solvents (e.g., alcohols, esters)

You can apply it at 3% or 6% concentration, depending on the hazard, without sacrificing speed or foam quality.

Efficient Wetting and Blanket Retention

This foam reduces surface tension, allowing water to penetrate deep-seated fires. It offers:

• Foam expansion: 6:1 to 12:1

• 25% drainage time: Minimum 3.5 minutes

This long-lasting foam blanket ensures extended surface coverage and fire resistance.

Material Compatibility and Durability

The AR-AFFF solution is fully compatible with:

• Carbon steel

• Stainless steel

• Polyethylene (PE)

• Fiberglass and composite tanks

This reduces wear-and-tear on firefighting infrastructure and extends system life.

Global Certifications

The product strictly complies with:

• BS EN 1568-3:2008 standards

• UL Listing

• CE and EN certifications

These approvals confirm its reliability in international and local firefighting systems.

Temperature Resilience and Shelf Life

Thanks to its temperature resistance, AR-AFFF remains effective in both cold and hot regions of Pakistan.

• Freezing point: -5°C to -10°C

• Storage temperature: Up to 55°C

• Shelf life: 7 years under proper storage

This makes it suitable for warehouses, oil depots, and outdoor facilities across Pakistan.

Field Applications in Pakistan

AR-AFFF is ideal for use in:

• Oil & gas plants

• Aviation fueling stations

• Petrochemical storage areas

• Marine terminals and shipping yards

• Power generation facilities

It can be deployed via portable extinguishers, foam proportioning systems, fixed piping, and mobile foam units.

Environmental Responsibility

SILVER STRING CHEMICALS is committed to sustainability. Our AR-AFFF formula is optimized to:

• Contain low levels of persistent chemicals

• Minimize bioaccumulation risks

• Reduce post-fire environmental impact

We support clean firefighting without compromising on power or safety.
