Flamblocker CF7 – PFAS-Free Firefighting Liquid for High-Risk Vehicle and Tire Fires
Flamblocker CF7 is a high-efficiency, PFAS-free firefighting liquid developed for modern fire service operations, with proven performance in vehicle and tire fires. Operational and controlled testing demonstrate faster extinguishment, reduced water consumption, and reliable suppression of re-ignition risks compared to conventional water-only methods.
CF7 is fully biodegradable, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and 100% free from PFAS, ensuring compliance with current and emerging European environmental regulations. It is fully compatible with seawater, with operational tests confirming no loss of extinguishing efficiency in saline conditions, making it suitable for coastal, maritime, and freshwater-limited regions.
Flamblocker CF7 is fully aligned with EU legislation governing firefighting foams and extinguishing liquids, offering public authorities, municipalities, and fire services a future-proof, regulation-compliant alternative to fluorinated agents.
Flamblocker CF7 – Technical and Operational Description
Flamblocker CF7 is an advanced firefighting liquid engineered to improve extinguishing performance in complex fire scenarios while ensuring environmental and regulatory compliance. It is specifically designed for applications where traditional extinguishing media show limited effectiveness or create long-term environmental liabilities.
Performance in Vehicle and Tire Fires
Vehicle and tire fires present high thermal loads, deep-seated combustion, and persistent re-ignition risks. Flamblocker CF7 enhances extinguishing efficiency through improved heat absorption and flame suppression, resulting in:
-
Accelerated fire knockdown
-
Reduced intervention time
-
Lower total water consumption
-
Reduced re-ignition probability
Operational and test deployments confirm that CF7 achieves effective extinguishment faster and with less water compared to water-only firefighting strategies.
Seawater Compatibility and Operational Flexibility
Flamblocker CF7 has been operationally tested with seawater and demonstrates no degradation in extinguishing performance, stability, or effectiveness in saline environments. This capability ensures full operational usability in:
-
Coastal fire brigades
-
Ports and harbor authorities
-
Offshore and maritime firefighting
-
Island communities
-
Remote regions with limited freshwater access
This seawater compatibility enables flexible logistics and deployment without dependency on freshwater infrastructure.
Environmental and Health Profile
Flamblocker CF7 is designed in accordance with modern environmental safety standards:
-
PFAS-free formulation
-
Fully biodegradable
-
Non-toxic
-
Non-corrosive
-
No persistent environmental residues
This eliminates long-term soil, groundwater, and ecosystem contamination risks associated with fluorinated firefighting agents.
Regulatory Compliance (European Union Framework)
Flamblocker CF7 is fully compliant with current European Union regulations governing firefighting foams and extinguishing liquids, including regulatory restrictions and phase-outs of PFAS-containing substances.
This compliance supports:
-
Conformity with EU environmental and public health directives
-
Alignment with national implementation frameworks of EU chemical legislation
-
Legal certainty for public procurement
-
Reduced long-term remediation and liability risks
-
Long-term procurement sustainability
CF7 provides authorities with a regulation-aligned, future-proof extinguishing agent that meets both operational and legislative requirements.
Equipment Compatibility and Safety
Due to its non-corrosive and non-clogging chemical profile, Flamblocker CF7 is compatible with any standard firefighting infrastructure/equipment, including:
-
Pumps and dosing systems
-
Hoses and nozzles
-
Vehicles and onboard systems
-
Storage and transport containers
