Products and services

• Foam Master 3F 33 Synthetic fluorine-free foam concentrate for extinguishing and securing flammable liquid fires and Class A incidents, usable with fresh or seawater. Marketed to fire brigades, airports, petrochemical operators, and industrial users.
• Foam Master 3F 3/6 SP Versatile fluorine-free (AR-3F) foam concentrate for extinguishing hydrocarbon and polar solvent fires; forms an insoluble polymer membrane on polar liquids to protect foam from solvents. Marketed to petrochemical, oil & gas, and industrial fire protection buyers.
• Airfoam Fluorine-free foam concentrate exceeding ICAO Level B requirements for aviation fuel fires (Jet-A, Jet-A1); designed for fuel spills, aircraft incidents, and ARFF vehicles at airports.
• M51+ Fluorine-free wetting/foaming agent for Class A fires (wood, vegetation, buildings) and hydrocarbons; used by fire departments for urban and forest fire fighting.
• Expandol High-expansion (HiEx) fluorine-free foam for LNG storage situations, industrial workshops, and large enclosed spaces such as basements and warehouses.
• Forexpan Foaming additive specifically developed for forest fire fighting, providing water retention and smothering effects on vegetation.
• Wet Foam Fluorine-free wetting/foaming agent for Class A fires that reduces water surface tension from 70 mN/m to less than 30 mN/m, enabling deep penetration into vegetation, wood, textiles, and buildings.
• Training Foam Fluorine-free training foam for fire schools and professional training centers to demonstrate foam dynamics without fire extinguishing capability.
• Free Foam Fluorine-free training foam for fire training schools simulating foam dynamics with minimal environmental impact, available in volumes from 20 to 1000 liters with custom color options.
• Legesec Special Lightweight, torsion-resistant fire hose with textile reinforcement and rubber/polymer coating, designed for use on fire reels and RIA (Réseau Incendie Armé) systems.
• Souplesec Premier Fire hose with textile construction and high-performance PVC coating providing surface abrasion and puncture resistance for fire brigade and industrial use.
• Remiflex Special Lightweight, reduced-size fire hose meeting NF 61-112 Class A and NF 61-111/NF 61-701 specifications, recommended for urban and forest fires by fire brigades.
• OFE 96 Extremely lightweight and maneuverable fire hose with textile reinforcement, crush-resistant for difficult mechanical and temperature conditions.
• Fixed Fire Protection Installations Turnkey fixed firefighting installations including pumping groups (motor and electro pumps from 0-1000m3/h at 0-12 bars), jockey skids, control cabinets with touchscreen interfaces, foam generators, foam chambers, injectors, pourers, nozzles, valves, butterfly valves, water curtains, and proportioners. Systems engineered to APSAD, NFPA 20, UL/FM, and EN12845 standards.
• Firefighting Equipment Firefighting equipment including couplings, valves, nozzles, hydraulic equipment, and accessories for fire brigades and industrial users (complements hoses and fixed installations).
• 24/7 Emergency Foam Service 24-hour emergency foam and firefighting equipment delivery service reachable at +33 3 26 50 64 10, supported by 275,000 liters of emulsifier stock across Reims, Lavera, Bassens, Arques, and Casablanca, plus 20,000+ meters of permanent hose stock.
• Foam Analysis Laboratory Service Laboratory analysis of stored foam concentrates including physico-chemical property checks, expansion rate measurement, extinction performance evaluation, and refractometer concentration measurements.
• Technical Training Programs Technical training programs on foam products including theory of foam development, production facility visits, and laboratory fire tests for customers.
• Hose Repair Service Hose repair services to maintain original hose characteristics through regular maintenance and repairs for fire brigade and industrial customers.
