Producing firefighting foam concentrates
Since 1998, BIOEX formulates and manufactures efficient and eco-friendly fire fighting foam concentrates. In 2002, BIOEX had already made a commitment to protect our environment by launching ECOPOL: the first class A/B fluorine-free foam concentrate in the world!
Located at Sainte-Consorce (near Lyon) in France, BIOEX employs over 20 people acting worldwide. BIOEX is part of the LEADER Group, an international fire and rescue equipment manufacturer.
A SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT
In 2002, BIOEX launched ECOPOL the first Fluorine-Free Foam (F3) on the market, for extinguishing fire while protecting the environment. Pioneer in eco-friendly foams, BIOex has the challenge to convince its customers to choose these “new generation of green products”, which are 100% fluorine free, and have already proven their effectiveness.
We have witnessed continuously increasing number of users looking for “green” and non-polluting products all over the world. There is a real trend to favour foam concentrates that are “clean” for the environment.
BIOex 100% fluorine-free foam concentrates are used by customers who are aware of their social and environmental responsibility (CSR: Corporate Social Responsibility). The businesses and industries that subscribe to an ISO 14001 and ISO 26000 stance are by definition interested in ecological products to fulfil the specific requirements relative to the implementation or the continuance of their environmental management system.
The BIOex customers choose to use an ecological fire fighting foam contribute directly to protect the environment.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT FOCUSED ON INNOVATION
Research and development is a fundamental part of the strategy. An experienced team of doctors and engineers in chemistry works on a daily basis to optimise existing formulas and create new foam concentrate formulas with new compounds.
Attentive to user needs and eager to best meet professional requirements, our challenge is to develop ever more effective foam concentrates with an ever lower impact on the environment.
Our laboratory is fitted with ultra modern equipment to test and control all physical-chemical parameters.
To verify the behaviour and performance of our products on fires according to applicable standards, BIOEX’s plant is equipped with small scale indoor and wider outdoor normative test pans. Large scale fire tests can be achieved on a technical training platform.
