AR-AFFF 3% – Advanced Fire Suppression by SILVER STRING CHEMICALS
UL & EN Approved Foam for Hydrocarbon and Polar Solvent Fires
Why AR-AFFF Matters
Effective fire suppression depends on using the right foam for the fuel type. SILVER STRING CHEMICALS offers premium Alcohol-Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AR-AFFF) designed for high-risk environments. Whether the fuel is gasoline, diesel, ethanol, or solvents, our AR-AFFF delivers fast action and dependable protection.
Stable and Consistent Physical Properties
Our AR-AFFF has a clear to light yellowish appearance and stays stable across temperature variations. Its properties include:
-
Specific gravity: 1.00 to 1.05 g/ml
-
Viscosity: 1500 to 2000 cps @ 20°C
-
pH range: 6.5 to 8.5
These qualities allow smooth flow through foam nozzles and prevent corrosion in equipment, ensuring long-term compatibility.
Fast and Flexible Suppression Performance
This foam works on both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires. It quickly forms a tough, film-like layer over burning fuel. This layer blocks oxygen, reduces vapor release, and stops reignition. You can apply it at 3% or 6%, depending on the fuel type, without sacrificing speed.
Efficient Wetting and Coverage
AR-AFFF improves fire control by reducing water surface tension. This lets it penetrate deep-seated Class A fires. It features:
-
Foam expansion ratio: 6:1 to 12:1
-
25% drainage time: Minimum 3.5 minutes
This helps maintain a stable foam blanket over wide areas.
Durable and Compatible with Firefighting Systems
Our foam is safe for use with materials commonly found in firefighting equipment, such as:
-
Carbon steel
-
Stainless steel
-
Polyethylene
-
Fiberglass
It reduces wear on system components and lowers long-term maintenance costs.
Tested, Certified, and Globally Compliant
Our AR-AFFF complies with top-tier fire safety standards:
-
UL Listed
-
BS EN 1568-3:2008 certified
-
CE and EN approved
