BIOEX Flourine-Free Foam (FFF)
Foam concentrates efficient on all kind of risks
In 2002, BIOEX launched the first Fluorine-Free Foam (FFF also known as F3) firefighting foam effective on class A and class B fires. With its long experience, BIOEX's range of eco-friendly firefighting foams offers a wide range of solutions adapted to your risks: class A fire, class B Hydrocarbons and polar solvents fire… Major Airports, Fire brigades, Marine, Oil & Gas companies and Chemical industries across the world are using BIOEX Fluorine-Free Foam for their fire protection. BIOEX "bio" firefighting foams have proven their efficiency in firefighting. It is now possible to protect the environment and human health while also considering fire safety.
Fluorine-Free Foams create a resistant foam blanket above the fuel on fire and add a cooling effect to rapidly extinguish the fire. F3 are applied with the same application rates and the same gentle and forceful application methods as AFFF foams. BIOEX environmentally friendly foams can be applied in low, medium and high expansion. They offer excellent extinguishment performances and burnback resistance.
BIOEX F3 foams can be used with a wide range of foam equipment and systems. BIOEX PFAS-free foam concentrates are tested and certified under international standards (EN1568, UL162, LASTFIRE, IMO…). BIOEX ECOPOL range of products are GreenScreen analysed and accredited.
BIOEX Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foam (SFFF) offers mature and viable alternative to AFFF and AR-AFFF fluorinated foams. Regarding significant emerging concerns about fluorinated compounds, BIOEX eco-friendly fire fighting foams are guaranted free of PFAS, PFOS and PFOA fluorinated chemicals. They are not persistent in the environment, are biodegradable and do not cause toxic effects. BIOEX “green” firefighting foams are easily biodegradable and respect the environment without causing health issues. BIOEX’s eco-friendly firefighting foam concentrates are totally PFAS-free, PFOS-free, PFOA-free.

ECOPOL A3+ MilSpec doesn't contain any PFAS intentionally added.
It is not subject to regulatory constraints in force and future on flourinated compounds.
BIO FOR
Fluorine-Free Wetting and Foaming Agent Effective On Class A/B Fires
Thanks to its wetting and foaming properties, BIO FOR is highly efficient for fighting class A solid fuel fires such as wildland forest fires, urban fires, industrial fires, waste recycling plant, as well as small class B hydrocarbon fires. BIO FOR class A/B foam is used by fire brigades and municipal services.
USE:
- Effective at Low, Medium and High Expansion
- Usable from 0.1% to 3% depending on the concentration rate
- Usable with fresh or sea water
ECOPOL N
Newtonian Fluorine-Free Foam Efficient on Class B Hydrocarbon Fires
ECOPOL N is a liquid fluorine-free foam that offers an ecological alternative to AFFF. Indeed, ECOPOL N is a liquid fluorine free foam, its viscosity is similar to AFFF. This does not require a change in the dosing system. ECOPOL N extinguishes Class B hydrocarbon fires quickly and prevents re-ignition thanks to a durable foam mat.
COMPATIBILITY:
- Compatible with all dosing systems
- Can be used with fixed and mobile extinguishing systems, as well as with foam equipment (sprinkler head, foam pourer, nozzle, monitor…)
ECOPOL F
Fluorine-Free (Fff) Class A Foam Concentrate for Wildland Fires
ECOPOL F is a class A foam concentrate for wildland, forest, bush, brush fires. ECOPOL F has high wetting properties to make water more effective for in depth fire fighting. ECOPOL F class A foam is USDA Forest Service qualified QPL listed and GreenScreen certified.
USE:
- Can be used from 0.1% as wetting agent to 1% on Class B fires
- Effective at Low, Medium and High Expansion
- Can be used with fresh, salt and brackish water at all levels of hardness
- Compatible with long-term fire retardant
ECOPOL Premium
Multipurpose Alcohol-Resistant Fluorine-Free Foam (F3) Efficient on Class B Polar Solvent and Hydrocarbon Fires
