HD Fire Foam Concentrates in Bhopal

Fire Protection System (FPS), an HD Fire dealer in Bhopal, supplies HD foam concentrates: AFFF and alcohol resistant AR-AFFF made with C6 surfactants, fluoroprotein and film forming fluoroprotein foams, a hazmat foam and the fluorine free AR-SFFF F3. Several grades are UL Listed or FM Approved.

Where to use Foam Concentrates

  • Hydrocarbon fuel fires such as gasoline (petrol) and oil
  • Polar solvent fires such as acetone and IPA (alcohol resistant grades)
  • Petroleum tank farms, oil jetties, refineries and offshore oil platforms
  • Sub-surface foam injection into storage tanks (fluoroprotein FP grades)
  • Industrial, marine and aviation fire protection systems
  • Cold sites where foam must be stored and used below freezing (AFFF 3FZ-C6)
  • Chemical surfaces that give off hazardous vapours (Hazmat Foam)
  • Fixed foam systems and bladder tanks where a fluorine free foam is wanted

HD Fire Foam Concentrates models

HD Fire FP 3-C6 Fluoroprotein Foam Concentrate, 3%

Fluoroprotein (FP)3%Sub-surface application

A fluoroprotein foam concentrate made from hydrolysed protein with C6 fluorinated surfactant, used at 3% in fresh, sea/salt or hard water. HD lists it for long pre-burn fires at petroleum tank farms, oil jetties, refineries and offshore oil platforms.

HD Fire FP 6-C6 Fluoroprotein Foam Concentrate, 6%

Fluoroprotein (FP)6%Sub-surface application

The 6% version of HD's fluoroprotein foam, made from hydrolysed protein with C6 fluorinated surfactant for use in fresh, sea/salt or hard water. HD lists it for long pre-burn fires at petroleum tank farms, oil jetties, refineries and offshore oil platforms.

HD Fire Hazmat Foam (HF) Concentrate

Hazmat foamVapour suppressionChemical surfaces

A foam concentrate made from hydrocarbon surfactants, foam stabiliser, solvents and additives that forms a very stable foam blanket over chemical surfaces to hold down hazardous vapours. It is applied through suitable foam application equipment.

How to choose

Start with the fuel. Hydrocarbons such as gasoline (petrol) and oil can be covered with AFFF or fluoroprotein foam. Polar solvents, which mix with water, need an alcohol resistant grade: the AR-AFFF and AR-SFFF concentrates contain polysaccharides that form a polymer film on the solvent, which HD compares to a raft holding the foam blanket up.

Then match the mixing ratio to your proportioning equipment. The number in the name is the percentage of concentrate in the foam solution: AFFF 1-C6 is used at 1%, AFFF 3-C6 at 3% and AFFF 6-C6 at 6%. For alcohol resistant grades the first figure applies to hydrocarbon fires and the second to polar solvents, so AR-AFFF 3X6-C6 runs at 3% on hydrocarbons and 6% on polar solvents, and 1X3-C6 at 1% and 3%. Most HD concentrates can be mixed with fresh, sea or hard water.

Choose the chemistry. AFFF is a synthetic foam that forms a thin film over the fuel to seal in vapour. Fluoroprotein (FP) and film forming fluoroprotein (FFFP) are protein based, with good sealing and burn back resistance, and HD lists its FP grades for sub-surface injection and long pre-burn tank farm fires. HD's fluorinated foams use C6 surfactants, which HD describes as environmentally safer, and AR-SFFF F3 3X3 is completely free of fluorinated chemicals (PFAS free).

Finally, check approvals and temperature. AFFF 1-C6, AFFF 3-C6, AFFF 3F-C6, AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 and AR-SFFF F3 are UL Listed, and AFFF 3F-C6 and HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 are also FM Approved. AFFF 3FZ-C6 is made for use down to -18°C (0°F). Prices on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.

Frequently asked questions

What do 3X3 and 3X6 mean on an AR-AFFF foam?
They give the mixing ratio for two kinds of fire. The first figure is the percentage used on hydrocarbon fuels and the second on polar solvents, so 3X6 means 3% on hydrocarbons and 6% on polar solvents.
What is the difference between AFFF and AR-AFFF?
Both form a film and foam blanket on hydrocarbon fuels. AR-AFFF also contains polysaccharides, which form a protective polymer film on water miscible polar solvents such as alcohols, so the foam blanket survives on those fuels as well.
Does HD make a fluorine free foam?
Yes. HD AR-SFFF F3 3X3 is a synthetic fluorine free foam, free of PFAS, which HD describes as 100% biodegradable. It is UL Listed for hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires.
Which HD foam concentrates are UL Listed or FM Approved?
AFFF 1-C6, AFFF 3-C6, AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 and AR-SFFF F3 3X3 are UL Listed. AFFF 3F-C6 is UL Listed and FM Approved, and HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 carries FM Approval as part of an FM approved low expansion system.
Can FPS supply foam concentrate for an existing foam system?
Yes. FPS supplies HD foam concentrates in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh for new and existing foam systems. Tell us the foam type and ratio your system is set for, and call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060 for prices.
