While legislation around the world is increasingly restricting the use of AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) due to its content of PFAS, it is not universally banned. Regulations vary by country and region, with many governments phasing out AFFF for most applications, especially in training and testing scenarios. At Fomtec, we offer a wide range of fluorine free foams for fighting fires, which are designed to meet performance standards while eliminating the environmental and health concerns associated with PFAS. These include Class A / Plastic, Class F, and solutions for both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires. For customers still required to use AFFF due to specific regulatory exemptions, we continue to provide technical support, while helping transition to more sustainable alternatives. Please contact us for tailored guidance.
At Fomtec, our fluorine free foams are the ideal replacement for AFFF. These next-generation Class B firefighting foams are specifically developed to provide effective suppression of both hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires—without containing PFAS. Our portfolio includes high-performance fluorine free options such as our Enviro line, suitable for applications across Aviation & Industry, Oil & Gas, Marine & Navy, Airports / ARFF, Fire Brigades, and Military. These foams are non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for both firefighters and the environment. We also provide technical support, mimic testing, and training to ensure a smooth and effective transition away from AFFF.
Yes, AFFF is still in use in certain sectors such as airports, military installations, and some industrial sites where regulations continue to permit or require its use. However, due to increasing restrictions and the environmental concerns associated with PFAS, many organizations are actively transitioning away from AFFF.
At Fomtec, we support both current users of fluorinated foams – including modernized C6 formulations – and those seeking safer, fluorine free alternatives. Our fluorine free foam solutions are engineered for high performance across a wide range of Class B fire risks, including hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires. These foams meet rigorous international standards and are suitable for critical applications in Oil & Gas, Marine, Aviation, Fire Brigades, and more. We also offer technical consulting, mimic testing, and training services to help our customers implement sustainable and compliant foam systems.
Yes, traditional AFFF and AR-AFFF foams still contain PFAS, a group of chemicals increasingly regulated due to their environmental persistence and potential health risks. These fluorinated foams have been widely used in Class B fire protection, especially in sectors like Oil & Gas, Aviation, and Military.
