AFFF Foam

FLUORINE-FREE FIRE PROTECTION

Hydrocarbon Fire Protection with Fluorine-Free Foam

LANGCHAO FIRE FFF Foam Concentrate is a fluorine-free firefighting foam for hydrocarbon fuel fires involving crude oil, gasoline and fuel oils. It forms a vapor-sealing foam blanket that helps isolate oxygen, suppress flammable vapors and provide cooling for rapid fire control, while resisting burnback and reducing reignition.

Available in 3% and 6% formulations, FFF features low viscosity and Newtonian flow characteristics for use with conventional foam proportioning equipment. Freshwater and seawater formulations support applications at oil storage facilities, fuel loading racks, aircraft hangars and marine terminals. It contains no intentionally added PFAS and is not suitable for polar solvents or water-miscible fuels. Confirm fuel and equipment compatibility before use.

No intentionally added PFAS

Formulated without intentionally added fluorosurfactants, fluoropolymers, organohalogens or PFAS, according to the product datasheets.

Rapid control & burnback resistance

A spreading foam blanket helps seal the fuel surface, suppress vapor release and resist reignition.

Low-viscosity proportioning

Newtonian flow characteristics support use with conventional foam proportioning equipment.

Choose the Right Foam Concentrate

Match your foam concentrate to the fuels you handle, the equipment you use, and the conditions on site. Use this checklist to guide your selection.

  • Identify your fuels, including any alcohols, polar solvents, or fuel blends.
  • Define the areas to be protected and whether you’ll use fixed systems or mobile firefighting equipment.
  • Check that product testing and approvals cover your fuels and intended application.
  • Confirm that the proportioning ratio and viscosity are compatible with your proportioning and discharge equipment.
  • Verify suitability for your water supply, storage temperatures, and operating conditions.
  • Review local fire protection requirements, PFAS restrictions, and disposal requirements for spent foam solution.
  • Plan for storage, periodic testing, and replenishment. Check system cleaning requirements when replacing an existing foam concentrate.

From application to specification

Give your technical team the context they need to evaluate a concentrate.

01

Define the fuel & fire scenario

Hydrocarbon, polar solvent, combustible solid or battery hazard?

02

Check the equipment & water supply

Review proportioning, discharge equipment, water type and operating temperature.

03

Confirm the product documentation

Request current technical data, safety data and relevant application approvals.
