Question

What is fullform of FFFP?
1. Film Forming Fluoro Protein
2. Fuel Forming Fluoro Protein
3. Film Fluoro Forming Protein
4. Forming Film Fluoro Protein

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Film Forming Fluoro Protein

Explanation:

Film Forming Fluoro-Protein (FFFP):

• FFFP is a derivative of AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) and fluoro protein.
• These concentrates are based on fluoro protein formulations to which an increased quantity of fluorocarbon surfactants has been added.
• FFFP concentrates were developed to obtain the quick knockdown of AFFF with the added burn-back resistance of standard fluoro protein foam.
• It appears that the FFFP concentrate performance factor lies somewhere between AFFF and fluoro protein.
• FFFP concentrates do not have the quick knockdown of the AFFF’s when used on a spill fire such as an aircraft crash or a highway spill.
• When used on fuel in-depth fires they do not have the burn back resistance of flour protein.
• FFFP foam can be generated with either air-aspirating or non-air-aspirating nozzles. 
• When used through a non-air-aspirated nozzle they do not provide expansion ratios as good as AFFF when used through the same type of nozzle.
• The application rate is .10 gpm/sq. ft. when used on a hydrocarbon spill fire.
