Greenfire

OUR STORY In 2016, a team of experts in fire protection, organic food production, and biochemistry discovered a need for fire suppression products free from the harsh chemicals that would corrode their equipment. Together, they set out to develop a solution that would serve a variety of industries. What they created was something never before seen in fire protection: a highly effective wetting agent made from environmentally friendly materials that was not only non-corrosive, but also PFAS-free and non-carcinogenic. Notably, it would later come to be the first and only fire suppressant to be NSF White Book listed, making it safe to use on and around food processing equipment. THE PROBLEM: PFAS TOXICITY The leading foams and wetting agents that have been used to combat fires for more than half a century are laden with highly toxic PFAS chemicals, which have since been linked to cancer, reproductive and immune system harm, and have also been shown to be highly toxic to our waterways and the environment. As awareness surrounding the toxicity of PFAS has continued to gain attention at the highest levels of industry and government, and as the number and intensity of wildfires continues to multiply, the need for this proprietary technology – now patented and marketed as GreenFire – is profound. THE SOLUTION: GREENFIRE Still unmatched in the industry, GreenFire technology has been applied to the development of several groundbreaking fire protection products in the company’s portfolio, serving a variety of industries. Among these products, GreenFire Firefighting Foam promises to be an industry game-changer, as government legislation – already in effect in several states – is moving toward banning the use of PFAS-containing fire suppressants in favor of effective alternatives that do not harm the environment nor human health. As GreenFire already has this combination down to a science, the company is optimally positioned to lead change in the industry.
