BIO FOR – Fluorine-Free Class A/B Wetting & Foaming Agent

Eco-Conscious Firefighting Power for Wildland, Structural, and Minor Hydrocarbon Fires

BIO FOR is a high-performance, fluorine-free wetting and foaming agent designed for effective suppression of Class A fires (solids) and minor Class B fires (hydrocarbons). With outstanding wetting and clinging properties, it is ideal for use in wildland firefighting, municipal fire departments, industrial incidents, recycling centers, and vehicle fires. Trusted by fire brigades and public safety agencies, BIO FOR delivers fast extinguishment, reduced reignition risk, and lasting surface protection—without compromising the environment.

Firefighting Performance

BIO FOR improves fire suppression through a dual-action system:

• Wetting Action: Penetrates deeply into solid fuels like wood, vegetation, and debris by lowering water surface tension. This speeds up knockdown and prevents fire reignition.

• Foaming Action: Produces a stable, clinging foam blanket that adheres to vertical and uneven surfaces, providing effective cooling with minimal runoff and prolonged burnback resistance.

When applied in a wide coat—such as during wildland or forest fires—BIO FOR increases the moisture content of exposed materials, helping create a protective barrier (wet line) against advancing flames or spot fires.
