Extinguishing performances:
ECOPOL class A/B foam is effective on class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires, also on class A fires.
The effectiveness of ECOPOL on a hydrocarbon fire can be compared to AFFF foams. ECOPOL foam concentrate forms a foam sealing blanket which spreads rapidly above the surface of the fuel to provide rapid fire control and extinguishment.
The multipurpose AR (Alcohol Resistant) foam generates a polymer film above the fuel surface. This film blocks oxygen supply and prevent from reignition, providing an exceptional burnback resistance.
The ECOPOL foam insulating property can also be used to contain toxic vapors of polar solvents that react with water.
ECOPOL high foaming capability adheres to vertical surfaces such as airplane fuselage to quickly cool it.
Due to its high wetting property, ECOPOL can be applied on class A fire. It forms a protective fire barrier during forest fire, making the vegetation fire proof and stopping the fire progression. The foam concentrate penetrates into the material and cools it down deeply.
ECOPOL also generates an exceptional High expansion foam. It is therefore recommended to flood large volumes, such as aircraft hangars, warehouses, ship’s holds, car parks…
Environment:
The BIOex R&D department has designed BIO FOAM eco-friendly firefighting foam concentrates, totally free of fluorine derivatives.
BIO FOAM is biodegradable. It deteriorates quickly without any PBT residues (Persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances).
Depending on the type of sewage treatment station you use and the arrangements for its use, BIO FOAM foaming agents can be flushed away and do not require incineration. We recommend to use an anti-foaming agent before release into sewage system.
Applications:
BIOFOAM is applicable for use on Class B hydrocarbon fires, including fuel, diesel oil, petrol, kerosene, and biofuels. Due to its environmentally friendly formulation, BIOFOAM is also well suited for training purposes, where repeated use and reduced environmental impact are important considerations.
