Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fire extinguishant solution-
- a modified aqueous fire fighting foam comprising a modified aqueous fire fighting foam and a salt selected from a group
- hydrocarbon surfactant such as sodium octyl sulphate.
- a salt selected from a group containing potassium lactate, a glycollic acid salt, a lactic
- a fluorosurfactant in a proportion from 0.02 weight % to 1 weight %, a hydrocarbon
- a foam booster such as
- diethylene glycol monobutyl ether in a proportion from 0.1 weight % to 2.0 weight %
- hydrocarbon surfactant typically an
- anionic surfactant provides a highly effective fire extinguishant when combined with a
- the resulting water-based compound has a
- the fire extinguishant has an approximately neutral
- PH is non-toxic, and it improves on powder base extinguishants in that it is easier to
- potassium lactate is the preferred salt, salts of glycollic acid, lactic acid,
- hydroxybutyric acid and tartaric acid may be used. Also potassium glycollate, potassium
- hydroxybutyrate or potassium tartrate salts may be used.
- the preferred composition is 5 weight % to 60 weight % (most preferably 45 weight %
- potassium lactate 0.02 weight % to 1 weight % (most preferably 0.08
- hydrocarbon surfactant 0.5 weight % (most preferably 0.2 weight % to 0.3 weight %) hydrocarbon surfactant
- foam booster (Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether [butyl carbiton/butyl
- the foam booster is optional but its inclusion improves the performance of the foam booster
- the preferred extinguishant may be used for fixed systems and portable appliances.
- Potassium lactate is non-toxic and generally harmless.
- the water droplets absorb heat as they boil and
- the addition of the modified AFFF reduces the surface tension of the water to below 20mN/m, and the water forms smaller droplets. The greater
- Potassium lactate absorbs more energy as it breaks down than potassium bicarbonate
