In 2002, BIOEX launched the first Fluorine-Free Foam (FFF or also know 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.
BIOEX AFFF foams (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam, also called A3F) contain fluorosurfactants to efficiently extinguish and provide vapor suppression of class B hydrocarbon fuel fires 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: refineries, offshore platforms and airports.
BIOEX AR-AFFF foams (Alcohol-Resistant Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) provide efficient vapor suppression and extinguishment of liquid class B fires containing hydrocarbons and polar solvents. AR-AFFF foams are required when fuels are water-miscible, such as alcohols, acetone… Polar solvents and alcohol are able to destroy the foam blanket generated by standard class B hydrocarbon fires foams. AR-AFFF foams are often required in high-risks facilities in the oil & gas and chemical industries such as refineries, ships, tank farms, pharmaceutical plants and process areas
