Synthetic Foams
Synthetic foams are based on synthetic surfactants. They provide better flow and spreading over the surface of hydrocarbon-based liquids, for faster knockdown of flames. They have limited post-fire security and are toxic groundwater contaminants
Protein Foams
Protein foams contain natural proteins as the foaming agents. Unlike synthetic foams, protein foams are bio-degradable. They flow and spread slower, but provide a foam blanket that is more heat-resistant and more durable.
Applications
Phos-Chek Class B foams are UL, Factory Mutual, US Military
standard (mil spec) and large atmosphere storage tank fires
(last fire) certified.
Most Effective Agent for Fighting Flammable Liquid Fires
Class B Fire Foam
3% MIL-SPEC Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foam (SFFF)
Our new product we represent is a 3% MIL-SPEC Synthetic Fluorine- Free Foam (SFFF) which is fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrate listed on the Department of Defense Qualified Products List (QPL), which means you can use it with confidence. Now that a fluorine-free foam has been added to the QPL, federal regulations mandate that airport authorities and other government agencies that are required to use MIL-SPEC-qualified products must switch from aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) to fluorine-free, and Talan Industries LLC is ready to assist the market in making the transition. The 3% MIL-SPEC SFFF concentrate is specifically designed for fast knockdown and extinguishment of gasoline and Jet A fuel spill fires as identified in MIL-PRF-32725 (I1). This fluorine-free foam concentrate is a combination of proprietary hydrocarbon surfactants and additives delivering excellent foaming, vapor sealing, and stability. The 3% MIL-SPEC SFFF is biodegradable, contains no siloxanes or intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and is compatible with multiple equipment systems. Our 3% MIL-SPEC SFFF also:
-Exceeds expansion ratio and burn back requirements
-Exceeds 25% drain-time performance
-Internally tested to meet MIL-PRF-32725 (I1) in salt water
- Is biodegradable & non-persistent
Flammable liquid fires require specialized foams that are designed to both extinguish a fire and prevent reignition or burnback. Aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) and alcohol-resistant AFFF (AR-AFFF) form a film between the fuel and the air, sealing the surface and preventing the escape and ignition of flammable vapors. AR-AFFF is specially designed to prevent polar solvents from destroying the foam blanket. AFFF and AR-AFFF come in a variety of formulations with varying mix rates (1%, 3% or 6%), viscosities, and freeze points. Selecting the proper product for your application is essential.
Products are typically used in chemical and petrochemical plants, refineries, oil and gas storage facilities, flammable liquid storage facilities, airports, and anywhere flammable liquids are stored or used. In addition to AFFF and AR-AFFF, Perimeter Solutions offers fluorine-free foams formulated to fight both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires, training foam and other specialty foams.

Protection Against Flammable Liquid Fires
Firefighting foams serve a vital role in fire protection throughout the world. Their use has proven to be essential for the control of flammable liquid fire threats. The ability of foam to rapidly extinguish flammable liquid spill fires has undoubtedly saved many lives, reduced property loss, and helped minimize the global pollution that can result from the uncontrolled burning of flammable liquids.
