Advantages of fluorine-free foaming agents
HEALTH BENEFITS
Exposure to potentially harmful fluorinated compounds is associated with various health effects, such as the development of various forms of cancer, immune system dysfunction, and developmental problems. Reducing this exposure is critical to human health.
ADVANTAGES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Fluoride-free foams are often made from bio-based or mineral materials, which have a smaller carbon footprint than traditional petrochemical foams. Fluorine-free foams also do not release harmful greenhouse gases that contribute to negative climate change.
BENEFITS IN FIRE EXTINGUISHING
Fluorine-free foams can be just as effective as traditional foams in extinguishing fires and preventing re-ignition. They can reduce environmental pollution caused by traditional foams that contain PFAS and other toxic compounds.
FINANCIAL BENEFITS
Fluoride-free foams can be more cost-effective in the long run because they do not require the expensive disposal or remediation costs associated with traditional foams. Also, by complying with regulations on fluorinated foaming agents, penalties and legal costs can be avoided.
OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES
Fluorine-free foaming agents can be easier to handle, store and transport compared to traditional foaming agents. Also, foams without fluorine do not leave harmful residues and are easier to clean after use.
