Foam Concentrate

SF Fire & Ventilation Systems provides engineering solutions for a wide range of foam concentrate types, each designed for specific fire hazards and fuel classifications. Proper selection of foam type is critical to achieving maximum extinguishing performance in fire suppression systems.

Foam Concentrate Types

Alcohol-Resistant Foam Concentrate (AR-AFFF / FFFP):
Used for fires involving water-miscible flammable liquids and hydrocarbon fuels. It provides strong resistance against polar solvents and alcohol-based fuels.

AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam):
A fluorinated foam concentrate that forms a stable aqueous film over hydrocarbon fuels. It is typically used at 1%, 3%, or 6% mixing ratios with water to suppress vapor release and extinguish fires effectively.

FFFP (Film Forming Fluoroprotein Foam):
A protein-based foam concentrate enhanced with fluorinated compounds. It creates a durable film layer over hydrocarbon fuels, improving vapor suppression and fire control.

Film Forming Foam Concentrate:
Designed to form a thin aqueous film over hydrocarbon fuel surfaces, reducing vapor release and preventing ignition. Cyclohexane is commonly used as a reference fuel in performance evaluations.

Fluoroprotein Foam Concentrate:
A hybrid formulation combining protein-based foam with fluorinated surfactants. It offers improved stability and resistance in demanding fire conditions.

Medium & High Expansion Foam Concentrate:
Designed for foam generation with expansion ratios ranging from 20:1 up to approximately 1000:1. It is ideal for enclosed spaces requiring rapid volume filling and oxygen displacement.

Protein Foam Concentrate:
Derived from natural protein hydrolysates and enhanced with stabilizing additives, corrosion inhibitors, and freeze protection agents. It offers long-term storage stability and resistance to bacterial degradation.

Synthetic Foam Concentrate:
A broad category including AFFF-based and hydrocarbon surfactant-based formulations. It functions as both a wetting agent and foam former for versatile fire protection applications.

SF Fire & Ventilation Systems delivers foam solutions with a focus on correct system selection, engineering accuracy, and full compliance with international fire protection standards.
