In 2002, BIOEX launched the firstย Fluorine-Free Foam (FFF or also know as F3)ย firefighting foam effective on class A and class B fires. With its long experience, BIOEXโs range of eco-friendly firefighting foams offers a wide range of solutions adapted to your risks:ย class A fire,ย class B Hydrocarbonsย andย polar solvents fireโฆ Majorย Airports,ย Fire brigades,ย Marine, Oil & Gas companies andย Chemical industriesย across the world are using BIOEX Fluorine-Free Foam for their fire protection. BIOEX โbioโ firefighting foams have proven their efficiency in firefighting. It is now possible to protect the environment and human health while also considering fire safety.
BIOEX AFFF foams (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam, also called A3F)ย contain fluorosurfactants to efficiently extinguish and provide vapor suppression ofย class B hydrocarbon fuel firesย such as gasoline, petroleum, benzene, kerosene, oil (water non-miscible flammable liquids). AFFF firefighting foams are mostly involved in large-scale fires in high-risks industries:ย refineries, offshore platformsย andย airports.

BIOEX AR-AFFF foams (Alcohol-Resistant Aqueous Film-Forming Foam)ย provide efficient vapor suppression and extinguishment of liquidย class B firesย containing hydrocarbons and polar solvents. AR-AFFF foams areย required when fuels are water-miscible, such as alcohols, acetoneโฆ Polar solvents and alcohol are able to destroy the foam blanket generated by standardย class B hydrocarbon firesย foams. AR-AFFF foams are often required in high-risks facilities in theย oil & gasย andย chemical industriesย such as refineries, ships, tank farms, pharmaceutical plants and process areas
