PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Fire-fighting foam is a foam used for fire suppression. Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, resulting in suppression of the combustion. Fire-fighting foam was invented by the Russian engineer and chemist Aleksandr Loran in 1902.
The surfactants used must produce foam in concentration of less than 1%. Other components of fire-retardant foams are organicsolvents (e.g., trimethyltrimethylene glycol and hexylene glycol), foam stabilizers (e.g., lauryl alcohol), and corrosion inhibitors.
Low-expansion foams have an expansion rate less than 20 times. Foams with expansion ratio between 20 and 200 are medium-expansion. Low-expansion foams such as AFFF are low-viscosity, mobile, and able to quickly cover large areas.
High-expansion foams have an expansion ratio over 200 - 1000. They are suitable for enclosed spaces such as hangars, where quick filling is needed. Every type of foam has its application. High-expansion foams are used when an enclosed space, such as a basement or hangar, must be quickly filled. Low-expansion foams are used on burning spills. AFFF is best for spills of jet fuels, FFFP is better for cases where the burning fuel can form deeper pools, and AR-AFFF is suitable for burning alcohols. These are excellent for extinguishing hydrocarbons fuel fires. A vapor suppressing aqueous film is formed by the foam concentrate draining from the expanded foam blanket.
Indian fire protection market is expanding to meet the growing demand from the user segment. Large office space, technology parks, commercial complexes, airports, petrochemical complexes, manufacturing ventures are expanding and these ventures continue to support the growth of the fire protection demand in the country.
