We performed experiments to quantify fuel-induced foam degradation by applying foams onto liquid fuels and water (for comparison) and measuring foam thickness over time. Our investigation included two firefighting foams, one fluorine-free (RF6-ICAO) and the other fluorinated (AFFF), and a foam made with a common surfactant, SDS. We applied a roughly 2cm thick foam layer onto three liquid fuels (n-heptane,...
We have quantified the dynamics of bubble coarsening in some commercial firefighting foams. These multi-component foams contain unique chemical formulations leading to different coarsening and drainage behaviors. We show that these firefighting foams, some of which contain fluorocarbon surfactants and one of which contains only fluorine-free ingredients, as well as single-component, relatively well...
