In a significant development for the fire protection industry, Rely Innovations has launched an innovative portable fire extinguisher that excludes PFAS, commonly referred to as "forever" chemicals due to their persistence in the environment.
Traditional aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) have long relied on these chemicals, which have been associated with potential health and environmental risks. In response, Rely Innovations introduced the FXTM P2.5SFFF extinguisher, which has earned a UL listing and adheres to NFPA-10 standards.
Advanced PFAS-Free Fire Suppression
The FXTM P2.5SFFF extinguisher utilizes NUFOAM, a synthetic fluorine-free foam agent
The FXTM P2.5SFFF extinguisher utilizes NUFOAM, a synthetic fluorine-free foam agent, to effectively suppress Class A and Class B fires while eliminating PFAS environmental hazards.
This pre-mixed solution preserves its efficacy for five years, coinciding with the extinguisher’s hydrostatic testing cycle, thereby reducing overall service costs.
Made with durable materials, such as a stainless steel cylinder, nickel-plated brass valve, welded siphon tube, and an anodized aluminum air-aspirated nozzle, the P2.5SFFF is designed to perform reliably in demanding conditions, including industrial, marine, and military settings.
Built for Extreme Conditions
Tested under military specifications, the extinguisher can withstand 200G impact forces and prolonged vibration exposure, ensuring its reliability in harsh environments where equipment performance is critical.
This makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring robust and dependable fire suppression solutions.
Eco-Conscious Design
Rely Innovations’ product reflects a broader shift towards eco-friendly fire safety equipment. "Protecting responder health is critical," stated Ronald Siarnicki, Retired Fire Chief of Prince George's County, Maryland.
"Having a product designed to reduce harmful exposures - and backed by a UL Listing - takes safety and serviceability to the next level."
