Complete, fluorine-free foam solutions from BIOEX and FIREMIKS. We assist with PFOS replacement, documentation and adaptation of existing systems according to new regulatory requirements.
The EU and Norway are implementing stricter bans on fluorine compounds in fire suppression foam (PFAS/PFOS). If your ship system or industrial facility still uses fluorine-based foam, you must act now.
Moray Fire & Safety has expertise and experience with PFOS replacement:
From foam concentrate to complete dosing system – we deliver everything you need to be PFOS-compliant and operational.
100% PFAS-free – environmentally friendly, GreenScreen-certified foam concentrate that meets all new EU and regulatory requirements.
Precise dosing without power – only water flow. Robust, reliable and minimal maintenance.
We deliver complete solutions tailored to your building, ship or offshore installation.
From mapping to approved documentation – safe, efficient and with full compliance.
We inspect the system, measure volume and evaluate the best solution.
Old foam is emptied and disposed of according to applicable environmental regulations.
Before filling, a water sample is taken from the cleaned tank. Sent to third party for lab test and approval.
The right foam is selected based on application, risk, and requirements.
We test and deliver complete documentation according to NS-EN and NFPA standards.
Typical response time: same / next business day
50+ maritime projects with documented PFOS/PFOA results below applicable limit values.
Audun Hellesøy has led technical implementation of foam replacement and testing of fire suppression systems, with verified analyses documenting compliance with PFOS and PFOA requirements.
The first of a total of 50 vessels was completed in collaboration with Nordic Green Products and BioEx. Analyses and documentation available upon request.
PFOS and PFOA do not break down naturally. Foam replacement with documented testing ensures functional fire suppression – while the customer meets IMO, EU and national requirements.
Regulatory Limit Values
10 mg/l
✓ Below limit value0,025 mg/l
✓ Below limit valueAll our foam systems and concentrates meet international fire safety standards.
Foam systems must meet the following standards:
We ensure that all products and installations comply with applicable regulations.
Correct dosing is critical for effective fire suppression. BIOEX and ECOPOL are typically supplied with the following mixing ratios:
FIREMIKS proportioner ensures accurate dosing regardless of water pressure and flow rate.
Foam concentrates often have long shelf life with proper storage (see product sheet for specific lifetime):
We supply certified storage tanks with level gauges and temperature monitoring.
Foam systems are tested regularly according to applicable standards:
We offer service, testing and certification of both existing and new installations.
In collaboration with Nordic Green Products and BioEx, we have completed extensive foam replacement projects for maritime customers in Norway.
✓ Among the most experienced suppliers
This project serves as a reference for maritime foam replacements throughout the region.
Traditional fluorine foam (AFFF) contains PFAS – so-called "forever chemicals" that do not break down in nature. Fluorine-free foam such as BIOEX and ECOPOL use alternative surfactants that are biodegradable and do not accumulate in the environment, while maintaining effective fire suppression power.
Yes, BIOEX and ECOPOL are documented to have comparable fire suppression power to traditional AFFF foam against both hydrocarbons and polar solvents. They are approved for both Class A and B fires and meet relevant international standards (NS-EN 1568, UL 162, IMO).
In most cases yes, but the system must be thoroughly cleaned before transitioning to fluorine-free foam. We conduct a site visit and recommend the correct procedure based on your specific system and previous foam type. FIREMIKS proportioner is compatible with both fluorine foam and fluorine-free alternatives.
This depends on foam type and storage conditions. BIOEX and ECOPOL typically have 10–20 years shelf life under proper conditions. We recommend annual testing of the concentrate's physical and chemical properties (pH, viscosity, expansion) to ensure optimal performance.
Price varies significantly based on system size, type of proportioner, amount of concentrate and installation complexity. Contact us for a customized quote based on your specific requirements and needs. We offer both complete new installations and upgrading of existing systems.
Fluorine foam is classified as hazardous waste and must be handled by approved operators. We ensure regulatory emptying, transport and disposal according to applicable environmental legislation and guidelines. This is included in our foam replacement service.
Foam systems are primarily used where there is risk of liquid and oil fires (Class B):
BIOEX is the supplier, and ECOPOL is one of their fluorine-free (F3) foam types. Choice of foam depends on application, risk, and requirements. We help you choose the right one for your system.
