Chemically, the air in the bubbles is suspended in the fluid. The foam clings to vertical and horizontal surfaces and flows freely over burning materials. Foam will put out a fire by blanketing it, excluding air and blocking the escape of volatile vapour. Its flowing properties will resist mechanical interruption and reseal the burning material. 9, record 2, English, - extinguishing%20foam

Aqueous Film-Forming Foaming Agents (AFFF). Aqueous film-forming foam agents are composed of synthetically produced materials that form air foams similar to those produced by the protein-based materials. In addition, these foaming agents are capable of forming water solution films on the surface of flammable liquids, hence the term "aqueous film-forming foam" (AFFF). 8, record 3, English, - aqueous%20film%2Dforming%20foam

While a number of different types of foam are commercially available for fighting chemical fires, only two types of foam are considered in this book: "ordinary" foam, such as AFFF or protein foam and "alcohol" foam, i.e., alcohol resistant foam.

La mousse à haut foisonnement est constituée de bulles de 1 cm de diamètre environ. Ces bulles sont produites mécaniquement par un courant d’air traversant un tamis métallique ou non, à mailles régulières, imprégnées d’un mélange d’eau et d’émulsifiant. Chaque maille du tamis encadre une pellicule de mélange émulsifiant qui sous l'effet du courant d’air se développe en bulles. On peut ainsi obtenir des foisonnements de l'ordre de 500 et même 800 c'est-à-dire qu'avec 1 volume d’eau on fait 500 à 800 volumes de mousse pour une concentration en émulseur de 1, 5 à 2, 2 % environ. 3, record 14, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%26rsquo%3Bextinction%20%C3%A0%20mousse%20%C3%A0%20haut%20foisonnement
