Abstract
Foams have long been of great practical interest because of their widespread occurrence in everyday life. Fire fighting foams are one of these great applications of foams. They are used to combat a variety of flammable liquid fires. Application of fire fighting foams to a pool fire results in the generation of a foam on the liquid surface. There are two types of fire fighting foams, the first type based on protein (FFFP) fire fighting fluoroprotein, where they are produced from hydrolysis products of protein containing matter such as hoof meal, chicken feathers, and fish meal. The second type based on synthetically produced surfactants (AFFF) aqueous film forming foam. Both types should be in formulations.
Preparation of some surfactants from locally available materials with good foam properties that can be used as film forming foams was the first target of this work, and then making efficient formulations from these surfactants was the second one.
