Foam Fire Extinguisher

A foam fire extinguisher provides reliable fire protection for fire classes A and B:

• Fire class A: Solid, mostly organic materials such as wood, paper, or textiles

• Fire class B: Liquid or heat-liquefiable substances such as plastics, paints, tar, or gasoline

Thanks to its extinguishing agent, the foam fire extinguisher is particularly suitable for use in environments with sensitive infrastructure - e.g. offices, technical rooms, or public buildings. Unlike powder extinguishers, it causes no visual obstruction and minimizes consequential damage. In addition, the foam adheres to vertical surfaces, effectively preventing re-ignition. The water content provides a cooling effect.

Extinguishing sustainably: The new generation of foam fire extinguishers

Many conventional foam fire extinguishers contain poly- and perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment and health. The European Union has therefore issued clear regulations:

• From October 23, 2026: Only fluorine-free foam fire extinguishers may be newly placed on the market

• From 2031: Use of fluorine-containing models will no longer be permitted

Switching to fluorine-free foam fire extinguishers early on is therefore not only ecologically sensible but also economically advisable. Our fluorine-free foam fire extinguisher is biodegradable, complies with EU requirements - and delivers convincing performance compared to conventional products, without any drop in effectiveness.
