EXCELLENCE IN FIRE EXTINGUISHER, FIRE HYDRANT, FIRE ALARM & FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS

Foam Concentrates and Extinguisher Refill Powders in Bhopal

Foam concentrates are mixed with water at a set percentage, such as 1%, 3% or 6%, to make the foam that fixed foam systems and foam equipment discharge on flammable liquid fires, while refill powder recharges dry powder extinguishers after use or service. FPS offers AFFF, AR-AFFF, fluoroprotein, fluorine free and hazmat foam concentrates and ABC refill powder from HD Fire and Balaji Fire Safety in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

HD Fire

How to choose

First choose the foam type by the fuel. For hydrocarbon fuels such as petrol, diesel and oil, AFFF forms a thin film on the fuel that stops vapour release, under a foam blanket that cools the fuel and cuts off oxygen: HD Fire offers AFFF 1-C6 at 1%, AFFF 3-C6 and 3F-C6 at 3% and AFFF 6-C6 at 6%, plus the low temperature AFFF 3FZ-C6 for storage and use down to -18°C, and Balaji Fire Safety offers 3% AFFF in 20 litre packs and a 1% AFFF, whose exact product FPS confirms with Balaji before supply. Where water miscible polar solvents such as acetone and IPA are stored, choose an alcohol resistant concentrate: HD Fire AR-AFFF 1X3-C6 is used at 1% on hydrocarbons and 3% on polar solvents, 3X3-C6 at 3% on both, and 3X6-C6 at 3% and 6%.

Then match the percentage and approvals to your system. A concentrate must run through a proportioner, inductor or branch pipe set to the same percentage, and a lower percentage means less concentrate to store for the same amount of foam solution; HD Fire lists most of its concentrates for fresh, sea/salt or hard water. Where a listed system is specified, HD Fire lists UL on AFFF 1-C6, AFFF 3-C6, AFFF 3F-C6, AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 and AR-SFFF F3 3X3, and FM Approved on AFFF 3F-C6 and on HD AR-AFFF 3X3-C6 as part of an FM approved low expansion system. Balaji Fire Safety offers an ISI marked 3% AFFF that it states is tested to IS 4989 and supplies with its ISI licence (CML) number, while its other 3% AFFF listings do not show ISI.

For specialist risks, HD Fire FP 3-C6 and FP 6-C6 fluoroprotein concentrates offer good sealing and burn back resistance, resist fuel pickup and suit sub-surface application, for long pre-burn fires at petroleum tank farms, oil jetties, refineries and offshore oil platforms. FFFP 3/6-C6 adds a fluorinated surfactant to a protein base so it spreads faster on non-polar solvent fires, Hazmat Foam (HF) forms a very stable blanket that holds down hazardous vapours from chemical surfaces, and AR-SFFF F3 3X3 is a fluorine free, PFAS free concentrate for hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires that also suits Class A risks.

For refilling ABC extinguishers, Balaji Fire Safety supplies multi purpose ABC dry powder, mainly monoammonium phosphate (MAP), in 25 kg bags for class A, B and C fires, with most listings showing ISI. Balaji lists the MAP content as 10% or 15%, so compare it with the grade shown on your extinguisher label, as the fire rating depends on the powder; FPS confirms the right powder for your units before refilling.

Frequently asked questions

What do 1%, 3% and 6% mean on a foam concentrate?
They give the share of concentrate in the foam solution: with a 3% concentrate, 3% of the solution is concentrate and the rest is water. The proportioner or inductor must be set to the same percentage as the concentrate.
AFFF or AR-AFFF: which do I need?
AFFF is made for hydrocarbon fuels such as petrol, diesel and oil. AR-AFFF also works on water miscible polar solvents such as acetone and IPA, so choose it where those are stored or handled; HD Fire offers it in 1X3, 3X3 and 3X6 versions.
What is a fluorine free foam concentrate?
It is a foam made without fluorinated surfactants or polymers. HD Fire AR-SFFF F3 3X3 is PFAS free and described by HD as 100% biodegradable; it is UL Listed for hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires and works with potable or sea water.
Can foam concentrate be stored in cold conditions?
HD Fire AFFF 3FZ-C6 is made for storage and use down to -18°C (0°F). HD notes that at such temperatures the water supply must also be kept flowing with an anti-freezing agent.
Which powder do I use to refill an ABC extinguisher?
Use ABC dry powder of the grade shown on the extinguisher label. Balaji Fire Safety supplies MAP based ABC powder in 25 kg bags, and FPS checks the grade against your units before refilling.
Does FPS supply foam concentrate and refill extinguishers, and how do I get a price?
Yes. FPS supplies foam concentrates and refill powder and refills and maintains extinguishers in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Prices are on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060 with the concentrate type, percentage and quantity.
