Fluorine Free Firefighting Foam

Fire Response is the sole Australian distributor for VS Focum, world leaders in the development of fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates. Our range contains no fluorosurfactants, fluoropolymers, or silicone — delivering complete PFAS-free performance without compromising on suppression capability.

Why Choose Fluorine-Free Foam?

The global shift away from AFFF and other fluorinated foams is being driven by tightening environmental regulations, PFAS contamination concerns, and evolving site and insurance requirements. Fluorine-free foams offer a fully compliant, high-performance alternative that protects both your operations and the environment — and VS Focum’s formulations are among the most advanced available anywhere in the world.

Newtonian & Pseudoplastic Formulations

Our fluorine-free range includes both Newtonian and pseudoplastic foam types to suit different system configurations. Newtonian foams behave like water and are compatible with most standard proportioning equipment, making them the straightforward choice for most applications. Pseudoplastic foams have a thicker consistency at rest that thins under pressure, offering advantages in specific system types and discharge configurations. Our team can advise which formulation is right for your system.

Transitioning from AFFF or other fluorinated foams requires careful evaluation of your existing equipment, proportioning systems, and operational requirements. Fire Response provides expert guidance through every stage of that process, from initial appraisal through to our specialised foam testing service, ensuring your system performs as intended and meets all regulatory obligations.
