Abstract

The present invention relates to firefighting foam concentrates including a protein hydrolysate in association with: PA1 (a) at least one fluorinated cotelomer which has a perfluoroalkyl radical and a polymerized chain consisting of units of an anionic hydrophilic monomer and of a nonionic hydrophilic monomer, and PA1 (b) at least one fluorinated surface-active agent whose aqueous solution at a concentration 1 g/l has at 20.degree. C. a surface tension lower than 25 mN/m. These film-forming emulsifiers are effective both against hydrocarbon fires and against polar-liquid fires.
