C6 Fire Fighting Foams EPA 2015 Compliant

C6 Fire Fighting Foams

C6 & THE EPA 2010/15 GLOBAL STEWARDSHIP PROGRAMME
All traditional Fire Fighting Foams contain fluorosurfactants. Fluorosurfactants aid fire extinguishment and support excellent burnback properties.

However, a USA EPA working group has found that flurosurfactants containing Rf carbon chain length greater than C6 could potentially degrade in the environment and form PFOA, a chemical which is bioaccumulative, toxic and persistent.

Due to this discovery, in 2005 the EPA convened what has come to be known as the 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship Programme. Under this programme, all fluorosurfactant manufacturers worldwide have committed to withdraw from sale any fluorosurfactant with a carbon chain length greater than C6 by 2015.

In the Fire Fighting Foam manufacturing industry, this means that all manufacturers are required to reformulate and retest their foam concentrates by 2015.

The Aberdeen Foam range of C6 Fire Fighting foams have been developed and specially reformulated to meet the requirements of the 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship Programme.
