Eco-friendly firefighting agent for offshore application
Liquid foam concentrate, non-toxic and biodegradable, Cold Fire® is the only patented concentrated alcohol-resistant microbial firefighting agent on the market today. Once the fire is out or the spill is covered with finished foam, the microbes begin remediating the AFFF, hydrocarbon and alcohol wastes.
Cold Fire is designed for both class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuels. On Class B hydrocarbon fuels, it creates an aqueous film that effectively shuts down the fire. Cold Fire is U/L-162 listed with CE approval granted under the standard EN 1568-3.
