As the world transitions away from fluorinated firefighting foams due to environmental and health concerns, INFERNO GLOBAL SOLUTIONS introduces a powerful next-generation solution: SFFF (Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foam)—a high-performance AFFF-substitute designed to meet modern fire protection needs without the PFAS risk.
Ideal for replacing AFFF in both new and existing systems, our SFFF offers equivalent knockdown performance, vapor suppression, and foam stability—but with zero fluorine content.
🌿 What is SFFF?
SFFF (Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foam) is a fully fluorine-free foam formulated with advanced surfactant blends. It performs exceptionally on Class B fires (especially hydrocarbon-based) by forming a dense, cohesive foam blanket that suppresses flammable vapors and prevents re-ignition. Additionally, it offers strong cooling properties and excellent fluidity across surfaces.
🔥 Key Features & Benefits
- PFAS-Free Formulation: No PFOA, PFOS, or any fluorinated compounds—safe for humans and the environment.
- Comparable to AFFF: Matches the performance of standard 3% AFFF on Class B hydrocarbon fires.
- Vapor Suppression & Burnback Resistance: Prevents flashbacks even under windy conditions.
- Highly Biodegradable: Breaks down naturally in soil and water.
- Non-Persistent Chemistry: No long-term accumulation in the environment or organisms.
🏭 Where to Use SFFF
This AFFF-substitute is recommended for replacing legacy foams in:
- Oil Refineries & Fuel Terminals
- Chemical Storage Areas
- Airports (ICAO compliance available)
- Military & Defense Installations
- Power Plants & Industrial Facilities
- Eco-Sensitive & Regulated Zones
It can be used in both mobile and fixed suppression systems, including foam monitors, sprinkler heads, and tank protection setups.
📜 Compliance & Global Standards
Our SFFF meets or exceeds performance benchmarks such as:
- EN 1568 (Part 3 & 4)
- ICAO Level B (fluorine-free compliant)
- Compliant with EU & US PFAS restrictions
- Environmental Safety & Biodegradability certifications
✅ Why Choose INFERNO GLOBAL SOLUTIONS’ SFFF?
- AFFF-Equivalent. Environmentally Superior. Designed for high-risk industries shifting toward sustainable safety.
- Drop-in Replacement: Retrofitting existing AFFF systems is easy with proper flushing.
- Efficient Performance: Effective at low application rates (3%) with fast knockdown times.
- Available in Bulk or Packs: Choose from drums, IBC tanks, or pouches based on your operational scale.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I use SFFF in a system that previously used AFFF?
Yes. SFFF can replace AFFF, but the system must be properly flushed to avoid cross-contamination with fluorinated residue.
Q. Is SFFF foam suitable for polar solvent fires?
SFFF is ideal for hydrocarbon-based fires. For polar solvents, we recommend AR-FFF or specialized fluorine-free solutions.
Q. Is this foam safe for firefighters and nearby populations?
Absolutely. It’s free of persistent chemicals, non-toxic, and biodegradable, making it safe for responders and the environment.
