US Navy confirms approval of Fomtec Enviro MIL under MIL-PRF-32725(2)

Dafo Fomtec AB has received documentation from the United States Department of the Navy confirming that its fluorine-free foam concentrate, Enviro MIL, meets the requirements of type 3 under the MIL-PRF-32725(2) specification.

The update was received on 1 April and certifies that Enviro MIL conforms to the standard for fluorine-free fire extinguishing agents intended for land-based, freshwater applications.

Fomtec stated that Enviro MIL will be added to the Qualified Products List QPL-32725.

The foam will be available in 5, 55 and 265 US gallon containers once the list is officially updated.

Fomtec maintains supply of AFFF foam under legacy US military standard

While expanding its fluorine-free product line, Fomtec confirmed it continues to produce and distribute aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) concentrates that meet the older MIL-PRF-84385F specification.

Fomtec said that its AFFF 3M is fully compatible with other concentrates made to the same US military standard.

This compatibility allows users to mix and use the foam with other approved brands without affecting performance.

Fomtec added that it will continue supplying its high performance PFAS-containing foams as long as it is legally permitted to do so.

Product availability for both freshwater and saltwater users

Fomtec noted that the fluorine-free Enviro MIL foam is formulated for use in land-based, freshwater scenarios.

For end users operating in saltwater environments, or those not yet able to switch to fluorine-free solutions, Fomtec will continue providing legacy AFFF products to meet operational needs.

The company said this dual offering ensures availability for a wide range of fire suppression scenarios, depending on specific site requirements and legal regulations.
