Study on Aqueous Film Forming Foam Extinguishing Agents Based on Perfluorobranched Short-Chain Fluorocarbon-Hydrocarbon Surfactant Complex Mixtures.

Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) is a targeted product for liquid fuel fires and has the benefits of a long storage period and high fire extinguishing efficiency. However, because of the toxicity and bioaccumulation of the core raw material's long-chain fluorocarbon surfactant, traditional AFFF is being phased out. For this reason, three efficient AFFFs (F-1, F-2, and F-3; more details in Table 2) were designed using anionic surfactants (PBAF) with branched C perfluorinated chains, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) as core materials.
