The Fire Fighting Foam Coalition (FFFC) is a not-for-profit trade association whose members are manufacturers, distributors and users of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) fire fighting agents and their chemical components. The Coalition represents AFFF industry interests on all issues related to the environmental acceptability of fire fighting foams. FFFC also helps to ensure that accurate information about PFOS alternatives, including telomer-based products, is disseminated to appropriate audiences. The Coalition is a clearinghouse for industry science reviews, supports the development of industry positions, and interacts on behalf of members with EPA and other relevant organizations.
3M THE ONLY MANUFACTURER TO END AFFF PRODUCTION
It's important to remember that 3M is the only manufacturer that has stopped production of its aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) fire fighting agents. This is because the AFFF produced by 3M contains PFOS, a chemical the government considers to have both environmental and toxicological concerns. Other AFFF manufacturers, such as Kidde and Ansul, whose products do not contain PFOS, will continue to produce AFFF for both commercial and military applications.SAFETY AND BENEFITS OF AFFF AGENTS
FFFC Executive Director Tom Cortina and FFFC Board member Stephen Korzeniowski have a featured article (1.2 MB, Adobe PDF) in the June issue of Asia-Pacific Fire Magazine that discusses the latest information on environmental issues related to the use of AFFF fire fighting agents.FFFC BOARD MEMBERS
