Extinguishing performances:
The foam blanket formed by ECOPOL 3N enables rapid extinction of hydrocarbon fires. The foam spreads quickly over the fuel surface, effectively suppresses flammable vapours, and helps prevent re-ignition. In addition, it provides a long-lasting cooling effect on both the fuel and hydrocarbon storage tanks.
ECOPOL 3N delivers performance comparable to traditional AFFF foams and can be applied using direct or indirect application methods. Its extinguishing performance on hydrocarbon fires is certified 1B in fresh water and 1C in sea water in accordance with EN 1568-3:2018, as verified by an independent laboratory.
Environment:
Choosing ECOPOL 3N is choosing an ecological alternative that preserves the environment and health, while combining effectiveness against hydrocarbon fires. ECOPOL is formulated without silicone, without PFAS (fluorinated derivatives, including PFOS and PFOA), which are recognised as potentially Persistent in the Environment, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) to living organisms. ECOPOL 3N does not contain intentionally added PFAS.
ECOPOL 3N is readily biodegradable.
Applications:
ECOPOL 3N can be used on class B hydrocarbon fires such as diesel, crude oil, petroleum distillate, paraffin, etc. It can also be used on class A fires. ECOPOL 3N can be used on flammable liquid fires, such as petroleum storage tanks or oil spills. ECOPOL 3N can be used in low and medium expansion.
