Evaluation of the fire protection effectiveness of fluorine free firefighting foams

The objectives of this study were to determine the firefighting capabilities (i.e., control, extinguishment and burnback times) for four fluorine free foams and one short chain C6 AFFF formulation (for baseline) as a function of application rate (gpm/ft2) and discharge density (gal/ft2) for a range of test parameters including fuel type, water type, and fuel temperature.
