Firefighting foam has been an essential tool for controlling flammable liquid fires for decades, but traditional aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) often contained PFAS “forever” chemicals linked to health and environmental risks. In response to this challenge, Rely Innovations has introduced the first UL-listed portable fluorine-free foam extinguisher that meets NFPA-10 standards.
The new Rely FX™ P2.5SFFF (Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foam) extinguisher uses NUFOAM®, a PFAS-free foam agent solution that provides effective extinguishment and suppression for Class A and Class B fires. The premixed solution maintains its integrity for five years, aligning with the extinguisher’s required hydrostatic testing cycle and lowering lifetime service costs.
Engineered for durability, the P2.5SFFF features a stainless steel cylinder, nickel-plated brass valve, welded siphon tube, and anodized aluminum air-aspirated nozzle. These materials enable the extinguisher to perform in demanding industrial, marine, and combat conditions. Military Specification testing has confirmed resistance to 200G impact forces and extended vibration exposure, making the extinguisher suitable for harsh environments where reliability is critical.
Beyond performance, the extinguisher signifies a shift toward eco-conscious fire suppression.
“Protecting responder health is critical,” said Ronald Siarnicki, Fire
Chief, Prince George’s County, Maryland (Retired). “Having a product designed to
reduce harmful exposures – and backed by a UL Listing – takes safety and
serviceability to the next level.”
