Description

Ansul CLASS B AFFF 6% Concentrate Foam Tote - 443115

ANSULITE® AFC6B 6% AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) Concentrate combines fluoro- and hydrocarbon-surfactant technologies to provide superior fire and vapor suppression for Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires. This synthetic foam concentrate is intended for firefighting applications at 6% solution in fresh, salt, or hard water.

ANSULITE® AFC6B foam solution utilizes three suppression mechanisms for rapid fire knockdown and superior burnback resistance:

  • The foam blanket blocks oxygen supply to the fuel.
  • Liquid drains from the foam blanket and forms an aqueous.
  • film that suppresses fuel vapor and seals the fuel surface.
  • The water content of the foam solution produces a cooling effect for additional fire suppression.

 

Typical Physiochemical Properties At 77 °F (25 °C)

  • Appearance Pale yellow liquid
  • Density 1.01 ± 0.02 g/ml
  • pH 7.0 – 8.5
  • Refractive Index 1.3360 minimum
  • Viscosity* 2 ± 1 cSt
  • Spreading Coefficient 3 dynes/cm minimum at 6% dilution
  • Pour Point 32 °F (0 °C)
  • Freeze Point 31 °F (-1 °C)
  • Cannon-Fenske viscometer at 77 °F (25 °C)

The ANSULITE® AFC6B 6% AFFF Concentrate formulation contains short-chain, C6 fluorochemicals manufactured using a telomer-based process that does not produce PFOS.009817

 

Approvals, Listings, and Standards

ANSULITE® AFC6B 6% AFFF Concentrate is designed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Standard 11 for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam.

 

Application

ANSULITE® AFC6B 6% AFFF Concentrate is intended for use on Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires with low water solubility, suchas crude oils, gasolines, diesel fuels, and aviation fuels. It is not suitable for use on polar fuels with appreciable water solubility, such as methyl and ethyl alcohol, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone. It may also be used in conjunction with dry chemical agents to provide even greater fire suppression performance.

ANSULITE® AFC6B Concentrate can be ideal for fixed, semifixed, and emergency response firefighting applications such as:

  • Fuel or chemical storage tanks
  • Industrial chemical and petroleum processing facilities
  • Truck/rail loading and unloading facilities
  • Flammable liquid containment areas
  • Docks and on-board marine systems
  • Mobile equipment

 

Foaming Properties

ANSULITE® AFC6B 6% AFFF Concentrate may be effectively applied using most conventional foam discharge equipment at a 6% dilution with fresh, salt, or hard water. For optimum performance, water hardness should not exceed 500 ppm expressed as calcium and magnesium.

ANSULITE® AFC6B Concentrate requires low energy to foam and the foam solution may be applied with aspirating and nonaspirating discharge devices. Non-aspirating devices, such as handline water fog/stream nozzles or standard sprinkler heads, typically produce expansion ratios from 2:1 to 4:1. Aspirating low-expansion discharge devices typically produce expansion ratios from 3.5:1 to 10:1, depending on the type of device and the flow rate. Medium-expansion discharge devices typically produce expansion ratios from 20:1 to 60:1.

 

Typical Foam Characteristics* (Fresh and Sea Water)

  • Proportioning Rate 6%
  • Expansion Ratio LE ≥ 7
  • 25% Drain Time (min:sec) ≥ 2:30
  • 50% Drain Time (min:sec) ≥ 4:30

*per EN 1568-3: 2008 protocol

 

Proportioning

The recommended operational temperature range for ANSULITE® AFC6B 6% AFFF Concentrate is 35 °F to 120 °F (2 °C to 49 °C) per UL-162. This foam concentrate can be correctly proportioned using most conventional, properly calibrated, in-line proportioning equipment such as:

  • Balanced and in-line balanced pressure pump proportioners
  • Balanced pressure bladder tanks and ratio flow controllers
  • Around-the-pump type proportioners
  • Fixed or portable in-line venturi type proportioners
  • Handline nozzles with fixed eductor/pick-up tubes
  • For immediate use: The concentrate may be diluted with fresh or sea water to a 6% pre-mix solution.
  • For delayed use: Consult Technical Services for guidance regarding suitability of a stored pre-mix solution (fresh water only).
