Did you know
- Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) technology, which the AFFF 3% belongs to, was first created in the 1960s. National Foam's Centurion 3% AFFF foam concentrate is an example of an AFFF 3% product.
- The AFFF 3% is part of National Foam's legacy AFFF product line, which is being succeeded by newer fluorine-free (F3) foam concentrates like UniversalF3 Green 1%-3% AR-SFFF and AvioF3 Green Mil 3% F3. While AFFF 3% is designed for hydrocarbon fires, National Foam also offers Alcohol-Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foams (AR-AFFF) like Universal Gold 1%/3% which can be used on both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires.
- The AFFF 3% foam is chosen for its ability to rapidly knock down fires involving flammable and combustible liquids by forming a thin aqueous film that spreads across the fuel's surface, separating it from oxygen and preventing re-ignition. It is a versatile solution suitable for various applications, including industrial facilities, warehouses, airports, refineries, and marine settings.
