Decades of experience in development, production and testing of liquid fire extinguishing agents have made us the industry leading foam experts. We use this expertise to assist internationally recognised working groups and risk consultants to understand the effectiveness of fire extinguishing foam agents depending on various influencing factors. One of the most pressing topics today is the transition from fluorine containing to fluo-rine free foam agents.
