Protein foam concentrate at 3% for Hydrocarbons Fires

Product description

FOAMIN P3 Protein Foam Concentrate is formulated fromhydrolyzed protein, foam stabilizers (metal salts), bacteri-cide, corrosion inhibitors, freezing point depressants andsolvents. It is transported and stored as a concentrate toprovide ease of use and considerable savings in weightand space.

It is intended for use as a 3% proportioned solution eitherin fresh, salt or hard water. The correct proportioning ratiois 3 parts of concentrate to 97 parts of water.

Two fire extinguishing mechanisms are in effect when us-ing FOAMIN P3. First, a foam blanket is formed whichworks to prevent the release of fuel vapor. Second, thewater content of the foam provides a cooling effect.

Performances

FOAMIN P3 is measured against specifications and stan-dards such as Underwriters Laboratories Standard UL162, latest edition.

When used with fresh or salt water or water of any hard-ness at the correct dilution and with most conventionalfoam making equipment, the expansion ratio will vary de-pending on the performance characteristics of the equip-ment. Air aspirating discharge devices produce expansionratios from 8 to 1 to 12 to 1 depending primarily on typeand flow rate. In general, the higher the flow rate thehigher the expansion ratio. Thus, monitors and foamchambers normally produce higher expansion ratios thanfoam water sprinkler heads and hand held type nozzles.

Typical expansion ratios for foam chambers are in therange of 5 to 1 to 7 to 1, and for foam water sprinklerheads intherange of 3to 1 to6to1.

Application

FOAMIN P3 Protein Foam Concentrate is intended for useon Class B hydrocarbon fuels having low water solubilitysuch as various crude oils, gasolines, diesel fuels, aviation fuels, etc. It is not suitable for use on fuels having apprecia-ble water solubility (polar solvents), i.e., methyl and ethylalcohol, acetone and methyl ethyl ketone. This concentratecan be used only with air aspirating type discharge devices.

It can also be used with foam compatible dry chemical extin-guishing agents without regard to the order of application, toprovide even greater fire protection capability.

FOAMIN P3 can be used by most conventional foam equip-ment such as:

• Balance pressure pump proportioning equipment • Bladder tank and related proportioners • Aroundthepump proportioners • Fixed and portable Inline venturi type inductor • Fixed or handline nozzles or Monitors with fixed induc tion/pick up tubes

FOAMIN P3 Foam Concentrate


Approvals

FOAMIN P3 is approved or listed according to: UL162 IMO Msc / Circ. 582 UK Defence Standard 42/40

Storage and shelf life

FOAMIN P3 Protein foam has an operational temperaturerange of –10°C and +60°C. Limited exposure to tempera-tures above +60°C does not affect the firefighting perform-ance.

When stored in the packaging supplied (polyethylenedrums or pails) within the temperature limits specified, or inequipment recommended by the manufacturer as part ofthe foam system, the shelf life of FOAMIN P3 Protein FoamConcentrate is generally in excess of 10 years.

If the product is frozen during storage or transportation,thawing will render the product completely usable.

The factors affecting shelf life and stability for FOAMINProtein Agents are discussed in detail in our Technical Bul-letin for storage recommendation.

Safety and handling

See our corresponding "Material Safety data sheet".

Compatibility

There are no specifications or standards which address thesubject of compatibility of different manufacturer’s brands ofprotein foam concentrates. In an emergency or if themanufacturer has supporting test data to substantiate thatthe mixture meets the same requirements as the individualcomponent concentrates, they may be mixed together inthe same storage vessel.

Different types of foam concentrates, i.e., AFFF and fluoro-protein base should not be mixed under any circumstances.

HYDREX 3Foam Concentrate


First class film forming fluoroprotein foam concentrate for 3%Application on Hydrocarbons fires

Product description

HYDREX 3 is a film forming fluoroprotein foam concen-trate (FFFP) based on hydrolyzed protein, fluorosurfac-tants blending, stabilizer salts and glycol ethers for use at3% induction ratio.

An intense research work including many laboratory andfull scale fire tests routed to the outstanding sealing andextinguishing performance of HYDREX 3. Compare toother protein based foams HYDREX 3 produces an ex-tremely fast spreading aqueous film, that acts as a vaporsuppressor as well as a “lubricant” helping the foam blan-ket to rapidly cover all surfaces. The remarkable stability ofthe protein foam provides a long resistance to reignition. The result is a very effective agent with an outstandingperformance in extinguishment and securing a firescenario.

Performances

HYDREX 3 is measured against the highest specificationsand standards such as EN 1568 part 3.

On spills or large hydrocarbon fires, the foam immediatelyforms an aqueous film on the surface of the fuel. Thespreading film covers the fuel to extinguish the fire andprevents hydrocarbon evaporation. This leads to a supe-rior burn back resistance. The tough structure of the pro-tein based foam enhances its stability on the fuel. Thefoam has a much higher fuel tolerance than other regularfluoroprotein foams.

In case of injuries of the foam blanket it shows very goodhealing capabilities closing any defect very quickly. Addi-tionally it provides a cooling function on the fuel by en-closed water and makes the water float on fuel surfaces inspite of it’s usually higher density.

Application

HYDREX 3 is intended for use on Class B hydrocarbon fuelsbeing classified as non water miscible (so called non polar fuels) such as various crude oils, gasoline, diesel fuels, avia-tion fuels and hydrocarbons with low water solubility such asMTBE or Biofuels with a maximum content of 15% ethanol.

HYDREX 3 is ideal for fast extinguishing of spills, Airport emergency response, Efficient Oil tank storage protection,fixed spray protection systems …

The foam produced by HYDREX 3 can be used either withair aspirating or non aspirating type discharge devices. Sea water can be used without an increase in the application rate.

A common application with (foam compatible) Dry chemicalpowders to achieve a maximum fire performance is possible.

HYDREX 3 can be used by most conventional foam equip-ment such as: • Balance pressure pump proportioning equipment • Bladder tank and related proportioners • Fixed and portable Inline venturi type inductor • Fixed or handline nozzles or Monitors with fixed induction/pick up tubes



Approvals

HYDREX 3 is approved or listed according to: EN 1568: 2000 Part. 3 GESIP 99/02 @ 2L/m²/min (France)


HYDREX 3 film forming fluoroprotein foam has an opera-tional temperature range of –10°C and +60°C. Limited ex-posure to temperatures above +60°C does not affect thefirefighting performance.

When stored in the packaging supplied (polyethylenedrums or pails) within the temperature limits specified, or inequipment recommended by the manufacturer as part ofthe foam system, the shelf life of HYDREX 3 FFFP FoamConcentrate is generally ≥ 10 years.


The factors affecting shelf life and stability for HYDREX FFFP Agents are discussed in detail in our Technical Bulle-tin for storage recommendation.

The tough structure of the pro-tein based foam enhances its stability on the fuel. Thefoam has a much higher fuel tolerance than other regularfluoroprotein foams.

In case of injuries of the foam blanket it shows very goodhealing capabilities closing any defect very quickly. Addi-tionally it provides a cooling function on the fuel by en-closed water and makes the water float on fuel surfaces inspite of it’s usually higher density.

Application

HYDREX 6 is intended for use on Class B hydrocarbon fuelsbeing classified as non water miscible (so called non polar fuels) such as various crude oils, gasoline, diesel fuels, avia-tion fuels and hydrocarbons with low water solubility such asMTBE or Biofuels with a maximum content of 15% ethanol.

HYDREX 6 is ideal for fast extinguishing of spills, Airport emergency response, Efficient Oil tank storage protection,fixed spray protection systems …

The foam produced by HYDREX 6 can be used either withair aspirating or non aspirating type discharge devices. Sea water can be used without an increase in the application rate.

A common application with (foam compatible) Dry chemicalpowders to achieve a maximum fire performance is possible.

PLUREX C5Foam Concentrate


Multi purpose High Expansion foam concentrate to be proportionedfrom 3 to 4%

Description

PLUREX C5 is a synthetic multipurpose foam concentrate based upon fatty alcohols, alkyl sulphates and butyl carbi-tol. Many fire tests during test programs have shown that it forms a stable foam blanket on burning non polar solvents. It also forms a stable low, medium and high expansion foam which rapidly fills large spaces.

PLUREX C5 foam Concentrate can be used to produce foam with expansion ratios ranging from 50:1 to 1000:1 depending upon the type of generator and its operating pressure. When used with High Expansion or Medium Ex-pansion Generators, recommended proportioning is be-tween 3% and 6% (at 3% = 3 liter of PLUREX C5 with 97 liter water).

Performance

The performance of PLUREX C5 foam concentrate when used at High Expansion will vary depending upon the per-formance characteristics of the equipment. Expansion ra-tios through high expansion generators typically are be-tween 200:1 and 1000:1. For this reason, it is important for the proper design of a high expansion system that the PLUREX C5 foam Concentrate be specifically tested with the foam generators. Medium expansion foam generators typically deliver expansion ratios between 50:1 and 200:1.

• Balance pressure pump proportioning equipment • Bladder tank and related proportioners • Aroundthepump proportioners • Fixed and portable Inline venturi type inductors • Fixed or handline nozzles with fixed induction/ pick up tubes

Application

PLUREX C5 is a multi purpose firefighting agent, used infighting Class A and Class B both indoors and outdoors. It isused only with air aspirating foam discharge devices except when used as a wetting agent on Class A fuels.

When used with high expansion generators, PLUREX C5 iscapable of totally flooding large rooms and enclosures allow-ing it to effectively extinguish horizontal and vertical (three-dimensional) fires.

High expansion foam is also effective in reducing vapor con-centrations down wind from hazardous low boiling pointgaseous products such as ammonia spills.

When used with medium expansion foam equipment,PLUREX C5 forms a foam blanket which prevents the re-lease of fuel vapor and also provides additional cooling dueto the higher water content. Medium expansion foam hasbenefits in outdoor applications because the foam is less affected by wind conditions.

PLUREX C5 can be used by most conventional foam equipment such as:

PLUREX C5Foam Concentrate


The foam produced by PLUREX C5 extinguishes hydrocar-bon fires best when applied indirectly.

PLUREX C5 is compatible with all foamcompatible drychemical extinguishing powders.

Sea water can be used without an increase in the applica-tion rate.


PLUREX C5 has an operational temperature range of –2°C and +60°C. Limited exposure to temperatures above +60°Cdoes not affect the firefighting performance.

When stored in the packaging supplied (polyethylenedrums or cans) or in equipment recommended by themanufacturer as part of the foam system and within thetemperature limits specified, the shelf life of PLUREX C5concentrate is about 2025 years.

The factors affecting shelf life and stability for SABO foamAgents are discussed in detail in our Technical Bulletin forstorage recommendation.

PLUREX 15N Foam Concentrate


Description PLUREX 15N is a low, medium, and high expansion,Class A foam concentrate formulated from specialty hy-drocarbon surfactants, stabilizers, corrosion inhibitors andsolvents. This formulation provides extremely good coldweather performance. PLUREX 15N has been proven fordecades to be effective on many deep seated Class Afires such as tire fires, paper fires, coal fires, structurefires, and wild fires.

PLUREX 15N foam concentrate can be proportioned from0.1% to 1.0% in fresh, brackish or sea water. Due to itsextremely low proportioning rate, PLUREX 15N foam con-centrate offers outstanding economy in: concentrate stor-age space, cost (compared to conventional 3% and 6%foaming agents) and water hauling requirement.

Example: How much PLUREX 15N concentrate is required to make 500Liter of foam solution? At 0.1% concentration: 500 L X 0.001 = 0.5 L of concentrate At 0.6% concentration: 500 L X 0.006 = 3 L of concentrate At 1.0% concentration: 500 L X 0.01 = 5 L of concentrate

Performance Fire extinguishment mechanisms in effect when using PLUREX 15N ‘‘Class A’’ Fire Control Concentrate include: • Reduction of the surface tension of water, which pro-vides the PLUREX 15N solution with superior wetting and penetrating characteristics. This renders Class A fuels less combustible and allows the solution to penetrate past the char to control deep seated fires. • Extended drain time provides longer surface wetting, reducing the risk of ignition/reignition. • PLUREX 15N agent creates a foam blanket which pro-vides an insulating barrier between the fuel and air. • • PLUREX 15N foam suppresses combustible vapors while cooling the fuel. In addition, PLUREX 15N concentrate offers fire fighting protection characteristics: • The brilliant white foam reflects heat.

• PLUREX 15N solution creates a dense foam blanket with excellent insulating properties. • PLUREX 15N foam clings to vertical surfaces for structure protection. • The wetting and penetrating characteristics of the PLUREX 15N solution reduce the combustibility of Class A fuels and makes water 5 times more effective.

Applicable extinguishment mechanisms and some proper-ties of PLUREX 15N foam depend on the type of foam deliv-ery device used. The solution does not destroy or retard newforest growth, will not harm fish or wildlife, is biodegradablein soils, aquatic ecosystems, and sewage treatment facilitiesand has no EPA reportable contents.

Application PLUREX 15N concentrate is designed specifically for use on Class A fuel fires including wood, paper, coal and rubber.PLUREX 15N foam gives the fire fighter: extinguishmentcapabilities, exposure protection, and increased safety.

Although designed for Class A fires, PLUREX 15N foam canbe effective on some Class B flammable liquid fires when applied from medium and high expansion devices.

PLUREX 15N solution can be used with aspirating and non-aspirating discharge devices, compressed air foam systems(CAFS) or dropped from fixed or rotary wing aircraft.

PLUREX 15N Foam Concentrate


Foaming Properties – When used with fresh, sea orbrackish water at the correct proportioning rate, the expan-sion will vary depending on the performance characteristicsof the foam making equipment.

Proportioning – PLUREX 15N concentrate can be propor-tioned using most conventional proportioning equipmentsuch as: • Balanced pressure pump or bladder tank fixed sprinkler system • Inline fixed or portable venturi type proportioners (Inductors) • Fire trucks electronic dosing systems

Typical proportioning rates for common applications: Wetting agent effect 0.1% to 0.4% Fire retardant &fire extinguisher 0.5% to 1.0% Air Aspirating Devices0.2% to 1.0% NonAir Aspirating Devices 0.5% to1.0% Compressed Air Foam 0.1% to 0.3% Systems(CAFS)

Handline Nozzles KRS2 Low Expansion 0.3% to 1.0% KRM2 Medium Expansion 0.3% to 1.0% KR-S/M2 Dual Expansion 0.3% to 1.0%

PLUREX NK

High Stability Synthetic Foam Compound Low, Medium, High Expansion

Ø ANY PROPORTIONING RATE Ø EXCEPTIONAL FOAMING POWER Ø HIGH FOAM STABILITY Ø EMERGENCY LANDINGS BLANKETING Ø SUITABLE FOR UNLEADED GASOLINES

PLUREX-NK is a fire fighting foam concentrate obtained by the formulation of synthetic surfactants and high-stability foaming agents that, used with any type of foaming equipment, can generate foams with expansion from 5 to 1000. PLUREX NK, compared to the standard synthetic high expansion foams, provides an even higher foam resistance to drainage and destruction caused by the contact with some particularly damaging pollutants. PLUREX NK characteristics, to some extent in common with standard PLUREX N, make it a greatly effective and versatile foam concentrate even in drastic applications: • exceptional foaming power even when using cold and sea water.

Water at 0°C and hard water can be used without spoiling the foam efficacy. Very stable foams at low, medium and high expansion are obtained even with very poor generators such as sprinklers, sprayers, monitors, etc.;

• extremely fast extinction on any type of fire, as the high surface activity of PLUREX-NK provides a strong wetting and cooling action and generates foams having even a greater heat resistance and plasticity;

• the foam does not suffer contamination by pollutants (hydrocarbons, fats, paints, etc.), that could accidentally come in contact in the fire-fighting systems, water or burning materials. The resistance of PLUREX NK can be tested according to M.D.A. (a foam sample should be poured over a layer of fuel polluted by sodium stearate inside an oscillating tray). This test shows the typical destroying effect of tracks left by aircrafts tyres after landing;

• great extinguishing power even on light hydrocarbons and gasolines containing antiknock agents such as TBA or MTBE that, due to their foams destroying action, make the extinction particularly difficult when using conventional synthetic or standard protein foam concentrates;

The drainage resistance of PLUREX NK is more than double than any standard synthetic foaming liquid. This makes it particularly suitable even for flooding spills of volatile and aggressive chemicals (LPG, carbon sulphide, NH3 anhydrous, etc.). APPROVALS • AFNOR (French Standard) SHELF LIFE A minimum shelf life of 5 years can be expected if properly stored in its original containers. DISPOSAL Through any ordinary Waste Water Treatment plant. PACKING Available on request in 25, 200 or 1000 liters plastic packaging.

PROTECTION OF PROCESS AND STORAGE AREAS BY SPECIAL SYNTHETIC HIGH EXPANSION FOAMS

Synthetic high expansion foams used for the protection of storage and process areas for LPG, LNG, Ammonia and similar products are considered of great help for the mitigation of massive spills. High expansion foams serve a dual purpose with their application for the fire prevention on large non-burning spills and the extinction of spill fires or continuous leaking. Experimental works have confirmed that high expansion foams are highly effective for reducing the hydrocarbon evaporation. Experiences made by SABOFOAM in Italy show that the foam to be used for this purpose should have expansion ratio approximately 300:1 (this value being easily obtainable by fanless foam chambers with high stability synthetic foams, such as PLUREX-SG). For application on ammonia spills the foam must have a remarkably high drainage stability, as a slow drainage can assure a more efficient coverage for longer periods and can minimize the thermal exchange between drained water and liquefied gas, which is potentially one of the main causes for the hydrocarbon evaporation. PLUREX-SG positive action is due to a series of phenomena that can be briefly described as follows: * foam shields flames radiation against the liquid hydrocarbon and spoils the

retroaction mechanism which is the base of liquids combustion; * foam is being destroyed by flames and becomes water vapour; leading to a

remarkable thermal energy reduction which causes a drastic decrease of flame temperature and an even more sensible drop of radiated heat (emitted power is more or less proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature of flame

gases). Generated water vapour makes the flame less smoky and reduces the thermal emission coefficient;

* foam creates an effective radiation protecting barrier for structures, pipelines,

valves, etc. PLUREX-SG has an outstanding foam resistance and an extremely high stability to drainage and complies to the most severe technical specifications for synthetic high expansion foam compounds. Best performances are obtainable with PLUREX-SG used at with appliction percentage of 4%-6%. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Specific gravity at 15°C (kg/dm3) 1.04

Alcohol resistant / Aqueous film forming ARAFFF 3x6 general purpose foam concentrate for hydrocarbons at 3% and polar solvent fires at 6%

Product description

HYDRAL AR 36 is a high quality synthetic foam concen-trate based on surfactant, fluorosurfactant, polymer andfluoropolymer. The foam forms a film of water on hydrocar-bons and in addition a polymer film on polar solvents.

HYDRAL AR 36 , alcohol resistant and aqueous filmforming foam (AFFF) concentrate, is ideally suitable forextinguishing fires involving polar and/or foam destroyingliquids such as alcohols, esters, ketones, amines and alsohydrocarbon fires involving petrol, fuel or oil.

Performances

For fires involving foam destroying liquids we recommenda proportioning rate of 6% (v/v) of HYDRAL AR 36 and agentle indirect application of the foam, for example usingfoam deflectors so that the polymer film can become fullyeffective.

HYDRAL AR 36 is especially suitable to extinguish rapidly large surface hydrocarbon fires; the foam has excellent flow properties at a proportioning rate of 3% (v/v) and canbe applied direct to the fire surface.

HYDRAL AR 36 can be used by most conventional foam equipment such as:

• Balance pressure pump proportioning equipment • Bladder tank and related proportioners • Aroundthepump proportioners • Fixed and portable Inline venturi type inductor • Fixed or handline nozzles with fixed induction/pick up tubes

Application

HYDRAL AR 36 is used wherever it is essential to extinguish a fire rapidly to save human lives and to avoid high materiallosses. Examples for its use are Chemical vessels, Jetties,tank farms, ships, drilling rigs and any flammable liquidstorage installations.

HYDRAL AR 36 is also very effective when subsurface injection is used to fight tank fires. Due to its fluorinated sur-factants content the foam absorbs only small quantities ofhydrocarbons.
