Which foam extinguishing agent can be proportioned into final concentrations of 1%, 3%, and 6%?
A.
Film-Forming Fluoroprotein Agents (FFFP)
B.
Low-Temperature Foaming Agents
C.
Protein Foaming Agents (P)
D.
Aqueous Film-Forming Agents (AFFF)
The Answer Is:
D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Aqueous film-forming agents (AFFF) are synthetic foam concentrates that can be proportioned into final concentrations of 1%, 3%, and 6%, depending on the type of fuel and application method12. AFFF forms a thin aqueous film on the surface of the flammable liquid, which prevents vapor release and provides rapid fire knockdown and extinguishment3. AFFF is suitable for Class B fires involving hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc. References:
