The topic of 'fluorine-free', or the presence or absence of organic fluorine compounds in foam agents, is currently a hot topic. It's the subject of various discussions, regulations, and a cause of significant uncertainty among users. To contribute to the clarification of the term 'fluorine-free', we have developed a technical information sheet.
