FFFP & AR-FFFP Foam Concentrates | Dual-Action Fire Protection
Gulf Oil International provides high-performance FFFP (Film-Forming Fluoroprotein) and AR-FFFP (Alcohol-Resistant Film-Forming Fluoroprotein) Foam Concentrates for complex fire scenarios. Our FFFP foam combines the burnback resistance of fluoroprotein with the rapid knockdown of film-forming technology, while AR-FFFP adds alcohol-resistant properties for challenging polar solvent fires. Compliant with NFPA and UL-FM standards, these concentrates are engineered for demanding environments like fuel storage facilities, chemical plants, and energy infrastructure.
Product Description
FireChem FFFP is a unique combination of a rapid fire knockdown quality of conventional film forming AFFF with a tough cohesive foam blanket based on protein base material, providing high level of post fire security and burn back resistance as a top quality fluro protein.
FireChem FFFP’s formulation is based on advanced protein foam technology containing hydrolised protein, fluorochemical surface active agent and preservatives to achieve the maximum synergetic effect.
FireChem AR-FFFP is multi-purpose natural protein based foam for use on a wide range of both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires. Our product contains special hydrophilic polymers producing a thick layer if applied on chemicals. It generates a fast flowing foam resistant against burn back with high insulating protection to heat and chemical destruction, if applied on any kind of fuel. It is suitable with all types of known equipment and is also compatible dry chemical powders.
Features
- Film Forming for last flame know down and extinguishingment.
- Stable and long lasting foam blanket for excellent burn back ressistance and post-fire security.
- Detergent free for high ressistance of fuel pick up.
- Foam blanket tree-seals when ruptured by personel or equipment.
- Readily bio degradable and virtually non-toxic. It is based on natural protein foaming agent and contains no harmful synthetic detergant.
Industries & Sectors Served
FireChem FFFP / AR-FFFP is used in high risk situations where hydrocarbons (such as aviation kerosene, crude oil, gasoline and diesel fuel) are stored, processed or transported. It is used extensively on rapid intervention vehicals at major international airports and military basses were fast extinguishment and post-fire security with limited quantities of foam concentrate essential. FireChem FFFP foam concentrate provides quality protection for a wider range of hazardous areas such as :
- Airport crash fire rescue
- Aircraft hanger fire protection system
- Military equipment bases
- Truck / Rail loading and unloading facilities
- Docks / Marine tankers
- Flammable liquid contaminated areas
- Mobile equipment

Storage And Handling
FireChem FFFP / AR-FFFP may be stored in its shipping container without change in its original physical or chemical characteristics. Shelf life is expected to be 10-15 years or more when stored at recommended temperatures and in original containers.
If the FireChem FFFP / AR-FFFP is to be stored in an atmospheric type foam concentrate storage tank whether on mobile apparatus or stationary, limit the air space above the surface of the concentrate where possible and place a thin layer of quality mineral oil the surface of the foam concentrate to minimize any effect from evaporation.
Environmental Impact
FireChem FFFP / AR-FFFP is biodegradable, low in toxicity and can be treated in sewage treatment plants.
