Abstract
The invention is a composition for combating fires and for inhibiting release of flammable vapor from liquids, which is film-forming and comprises, in an aqueous medium, a blend of a hydrolyzed protein and an ampholytic sulphonamide fluorosurfactant falling within the general formula: EQU C.sub.6 F.sub.13.(CH.sub.2).sub.2.SO.sub.2.N(H or CH.sub.3).(CH.sub.2).sub.2 or 3.N.sup.30 (CH.sub.3).sub.2.(CH.sub.2).sub.1-3.COO-, said fluorosurfactant, when as a 0.1% aqueous solution, being film-forming on cyclohexane at normal temperatures. The composition preferably has an interfacial tension on 4-star petrol of at least 3.5 dyn.cm.sup.-1 and is particularly suitable for employment in foam form.
