What is the foam content the fire fighters use, also whats it made of ?
beleive me i surf they are made of proxy, styrafoam (for the cheap ones), and fiberglass!
I was told they were made out of peanut butter but I don't really know about that.
A flourinated surfactant in detergent mix. Known as AFFF (aqueous film forming foam). detergent based, available in 1- 6% concentrations. Very useful in CFR (crash-fire-rescue) and HAZ-MAT spills. Alcohol resistant AFFF is used on polar solvents at 6% and at hydrocarbon fires at 3%. Creates a blanket that is self healing on top of the fuel. Care must be taken not to splash foam into the spill during distribution of foam. Must be applied per manufacturers directions. Hopes this helps. JD
