Description

FireFilm-KF Solution is a high-performance liquid specifically intended for fires of cooking fat and cooking oil. This type of liquid is frequently referred to as a "Wet Chemical". A particular application of FireFilm-KF is the control and extinction of fire in deep-fat fryers.

Fires of cooking fat and cooking oil are particularly difficult to extinguish because of the very high temperatures reached curing combustion. Attempts to use powder. Foam, or carbon dioxide on fat fires can lead to dangerous situations, with explosions, and burning fat being thrown out of the pans being used. Fat is also liable to reignite even after extinction, because of the very high temperatures that the material will have reached during combustion.

FireFilm-KF is intended for use in portable extinguishers and premix systems. The solution will last for ten years in its unopened container, if maintained between the temperature limits marked on the label.

FireFilm-KF is a special solution that reacts with the burning fat or oil, and forms a crust over the surface. The spray initially knocks down the fames. and the crust completes extinction. The crust on the surface of the fat or oil also prevents reignition, by blocking contact with the oxygen in the air.

EXTINGUISHING MECHANISM

FireFilm-KF Wet Chemical reacts with burning fat and oil by a mechanism known as saponification. The fat or oil is saponified, and forms a non-flammable product. which crusts over the surface excluding air.

  • Saponification of surface grease (turning it into combustion-resistant soap);
  • Cooling effects of water vaporization;
  • inerting effects of resultant steam formation, and Interruption of the chemical chain reaction of combustion.

It is recommended that FireFilm-KF not be mixed with any other type of extinguishing foam in long term storage. Such mixing could lead to chemical changes in the product and a possible reduction in or loss of firefighting performance.

Low temperature storage may cause crystal due low solubility.

FireFilm-KF is suitable for use in combination with foam compatible dry chemical extinguishing foams.

APPLICATIONS

FireFilm-KF is only intended for fires of fat and oil, although it may also be used on fires of solids. For fires of hydrocarbon liquids such as petrol, diesel, on kerosene, use Mercury AFFF product.
