Preparation and evaluation of some aqueous stable film forming foam surfactants used for petroleum fire extinguishers

SUMMARYFoams 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 fiPreparation 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.
