National Foam

National Foam announced today that it will discontinue the sale of all PFAS based foam concentrates
into the State of California effective January 1, 2021.

with numerous hardware cross listings, including bladder tanks, proportioners, foam making
sprinklers and various discharge devises. UniversalF3 Green® is one of the first fluorine free foam
concentrates to be third party GreenScreenâ„¢ certified providing independent assurance to end-users
that the product is PFAS free and avoids other known chemicals of concern.

National Foam MuniF3 Green Plus® 3% synthetic fluorine free foam concentrate has been designed
specifically for the Municipal firefighting sector. MuniF3 Green Plus® offers UL/ULC listings on
hydrocarbon fires and covers various blends of gasoline, from unblended (i.e. sport racing) through

water. MuniF3 Green Plus® can also be used as a wetting agent on class A (Wildlands) fires, cross listed
with the JS-10 handline nozzle and is GreenScreenâ„¢ certified.
