Foam concentrates for industry,
“STHAMEX® – AFFF”

comprises a range of synthetic, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) concentrates, which are designed for very fast and lasting fire extinguishing results with high burn-back resistance.
These advantages are apparent particularly when extinguishing large-scale liquid fires.
AFFF foams form a self-sealing duplex aqueous film on non-polar hydrocarbons, which also allows for application in non-aspirated form.

Primary use:
Chemical industry, petroleum and petrochemical industry, aviation, maritime, plastics industry, recycling industry, mining

Main application:
Non-polar hydrocarbon and solvent fires, solid material fires, plastics, recyclables.

Installations and equipment:
Low-expansion foam installations, sub-surface installations, foam / water monitors, foam / water nozzles, medium-expansion foam branchpipes, low-expansion foam branchpipes, foam / water sprinkler or deluge systems, CAFS.

Environmental compatibility
STHAMEX® -AFFF foam concentrates are physiologically safe and 100% biodegradable when used as intended, with the exception of non-biodegradable C6 fluorinated components.

Sthamex AFFF 3% F-15 #4341

sthamex afff 3% f-15 #4341

STHAMEX AFFF 3% F-15 #4341
Mfg.: Dr. Sthamer – Hamburg

Description
STHAMEX AFFF 3% F-15 #4341 is a synthetic, aqueous film forming fire extinguishing foam concentrate, based on surface active agents.
Special surfactants, fluorinated components and freeze protection characterise the composition of this outstanding product.

Approval
♦ DIN EN 1568 Certificate No.: KB-290/14, Part 3 (Heptane): IB/IB, Part 1: Medium ex.—
♦ ICAO Airport Services Manual, Low expansion foam — Level B
♦ IMO MSC.1/Circ. 1312 non-polar (Heptane)

Properties
STHAMEX AFFF 3% F-15 #4341 forms foam very readily and is used for both low and medium expansion foam applications.
The film forming and re-ignition preventing ingredients of STHAMEX®-AFFF 3% F-15 #4341 provide for extremely fast and effective extinction especial-ly when used on class B fires.
The aqueous film formed out of the draining foam solution spreads extremely fast and enhances the flowing properties and burn-back resistance of the foam.
The extinction time is reduced considerably and the fire source cooled.
The aqueous film even extinguishes areas scarcely covered with foam and prevents re-igniting of areas, where the foam layer is ruptured.

The foam is stable and in combination with the aqueous film, it forms a lasting, gastight layer on flammable areas. Due to its high foam density a long throwing range can be achieved.
The foam is oleophobic, i.e. it does not pick up fuel and is therefore particularly suitable for “sub-surface” foam application.
On hydrocarbon products STHAMEX® AFFF 3% F-15 #4341 can be applied as non-aspirated, aqueous solution by means of e.g. water monitors, water sprinklers, deluge systems etc.
STHAMEX® AFFF 3% F-15 #4341 is not suitable for use on polar solvents, e.g. alcohols.
STHAMEX® AFFF 3% F-15 #4341 does not contain silicones.

Application:

  • Used at 3% concentration and applied with all standard low and medium expansion foam equipment and fixed foam installations especially for class B fires.
  • Can be applied using water monitors, water sprinklers or deluge systems.
  • Seawater, brackish water and treated industrial water do not affect the out-standing fire performance.
  • Used in petrochemical industries, on airports and in on-and offshore areas.
