Fluorine-free foam extinguishers

Fluorine-free foam extinguishers - advice, installation & maintenance

Foam as an extinguishing agent is often used in portable and mobile fire extinguishers, but it often contains poly- and perfluorinated chemicals that can lead to harmful consequences for the environment and health. Because of this, a limit value for perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS for short) already exists on the part of the European Union.In addition, only fluorine-free foam extinguishers may be placed on the market from October 26. As part of a transitional regulation, foam extinguishers containing fluorine may only be used until 2030.

Early action is necessary to ensure an economical transition. Our fluorine-free foam extinguisher from is biodegradable and complies with European directives. We do not add any perfluorinated surfactants, so our fluorine-free foam extinguisher extinguishes fires quickly and reliably:

• Fire class A: Solid & organic substances (e.g. wood, paper, textiles).

• Fire class B: Liquid substances & substances that become liquid (e.g. varnish, tar, petrol).

The extinguishing performance of the fluorine-free foam extinguisher is not limited compared to a conventional foam extinguisher. This means that the fluorine-free foam extinguisher extinguishes very efficiently.

Our fluorine-free foam extinguishers are particularly suitable for indoor areas and electrical installations. Thus, foam extinguishers only lead to no or little extinguishing damage and do not cause any visual obstructions.

Maintenance of fluorine-free foam extinguishers

Fluorine-free foam extinguishers in commercial and public facilities require regular inspection. Consequently, according to DIN 14 406, they must be serviced by an expert at least every two years. Our fire protection experts will be happy to do this for you.
