BIOEX, French manufacturer of high-performance firefighting foams, today presents its complete wildland firefighting range: ECOPOL F and BIOFOR. Both concentrates are 100% fluorine-free, fully biodegradable, and engineered to give firefighters a decisive edge over forest fires — whatever the terrain, the season or the delivery platform.
A Range Built on a Common Promise: No PFAS, No Compromise
Both ECOPOL F and BIOFOR are entirely free of PFAs. Both are 100% biodegradable, non-toxic to animals and vegetation, and fully compliant with current and future environmental regulations, including the EPA Stewardship Program and the European Groundwater Directive. Deploying either product means protecting the forest, not just fighting the fire in it.
ECOPOL F : The Multi-purpose Wetting & Foaming Agent
ECOPOL F operates at ultra-low concentration: from 0.1% as a wetting agent to 1% as a foam agent, dramatically reducing the volume of concentrate required on site. Its surfactant technology drives water deep into burning solids, extinguishing hidden embers and stopping re-ignition at the source. The result: faster extinction, lower water consumption, and reduced post-fire monitoring time.
- Wetting (0.1–0.5%): deep penetration into vegetation, timber, tyres, plastics, car and structure fires
- Foaming (0.5–1%): adhesive blanket that clings to vertical surfaces at Low, Medium and High Expansion
- Efficient on hydrocarbon fires (diesel, kerosene, petrol) at contained Class B scenarios
- Qualified for all aerial and ground delivery methods: airtankers, helicopters, CAFS, foam proportioners
- Nitrate-free corrosion inhibitor. 10-year warranty
- USDA Forest Service QPL listed & GreenScreen Certified
BIOFOR: The All-Season, All-Expansion Wildland Specialist.
BIOFOR was designed for wildland firefighting operations, including the most demanding conditions: remote terrain, cold weather, and large-scale aerial coverage. Its Newtonian viscosity ensures instant, effortless pumping with standard proportioning equipment, and its freeze-protection formula eliminates the need for heated storage, making it ready to deploy year-round.
- Low, Medium and High Expansion in a single product: full operational versatility, no switching concentrates
- Excellent wetting properties: water penetrates burning solids faster, extinguishes embers at the fire’s core, and prevents reignition
- High foaming properties create visible firebreaks on the ground, facilitating tactical operations
- Freeze-protected: usable in winter and cold-climate zones with no heated storage required
- Newtonian viscosity: compatible with most standard proportioning equipment, no special setup
- Low concentration rate reduces storage needs and gives firefighters greater field flexibility
