- FireRein Eco-Gel Class A/B (foam)
Eco-Gel™ is a patented water additive that is instantly transformed into a highly effective firefighting hydrogel when introduced into a water stream at concentrations ranging from 1% to 6% by volume.
Eco-Gel™ overcomes the performance and environmental limitations of standard firefighting foams by producing a novel firefighting hydrogel that:
- knocks down Class A and B fires
- clings to vertical and horizontal surfaces
- creates a safe egress path
- can form a fire break for bush and grass fires
- prevents re-ignition
- Fluorine-Free – Safe for people, animals, property and environment; no specialized cleanup
- “Stick and Stay” – Fire suppressant and short-term retardant
-
Cost Effective – The price point is better than existing foams and gels; it uses less water
Eco-Gel™ is the only firefighting water additive certified by UL and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to be 100% bio-based.
50% Faster
In fighting Class A and Class B fires, FireRein Eco-Gel is proven to extinguish fires in half the time of traditional foams and gels. This allows municipal fire departments and industrial sites to more quickly protect the people and products they are responsible for, as well as prevent future fires from spreading. This reliable and responsive product can be applied with standard proportioning equipment.
100% Easier to Clean
FireRein Eco-Gel is a hydrogel that is completely soluble in any type of water. Once a fire is extinguished with Eco-Gel, any residual hydrogel can easily be washed away with water - a garden hose will do!
100% Non-Toxic
"It's so safe you could eat it!" In fact, FireRein Eco-Gel is certified through the USDA's BioPreffered Program and is made from food grade material. This allows municipal fire departments and industry to use it without worrying about the potential for contamination of the fire site, health hazards to their personnel or water run-off.
Markets
FireRein Eco-Gel™ fights fire faster with less water and less mess than traditional foams and gels and is the world’s first and only certified 100% bio-based concentrate. So whether it’s municipal fire, aerospace, pulp and paper, or many other industries that deal with fire risk, FireRein gets the job done on time and on budget.
Municipal Fire
Every day municipal fire departments are battling fires at homes, industrial buildings, vehicles, grasslands, and forests. Additionally, many are now handling litigation due to contamination from toxic foams that they were told were ‘safe.’
Municipal fire departments need a truly safe, efficient, and cost-effective fire suppressant to prevent re-ignition, protect firefighters and extinguish various fires. FireRein Eco-Gel™ offers all that and more. It works with standard proportioning equipment to fight fires faster, using less water than traditional gels and foams.
Moreover, EcoGel™ is certified 100% bio-based, meaning it has zero PFAS and can prevent future litigation caused by contaminated water sources.
Pulp & Paper
The pulp and paper industry maintains a sizeable manufacturing sector,
with a history of being one the largest industries in the world. It is
in this industrial context, with flash dryers and slab presses, that
fires can occur. These fires can devastate production without fast,
efficient and effective suppression. FireRein Eco-Gel™ delivers on all
fronts with less water and less mess than traditional foams and gels to
prevent, protect and extinguish.
Petrochemical
With recent investments in large petrochemical projects across the continent, producers know that they need an effective and efficient fire suppressant to keep their industry safe and their products on the go. FireRein Eco-Gel™ can prevent, protect, and extinguish Class B fires faster in a variety of extraction and processing environments. It uses less water, needs less clean up and can be easily applied with industry standard proportioning equipment. Eco-Gel™ concentrate is comprised of certified bio-based, food-grade ingredients and does not violate site permits or impact site emissions.
Wildland & Urban Interface
When a fire ignites in the Wildland Urban Interface, time is limited. With more people living in the space between cities and forests, urban and rural fire departments and volunteer firefighters have to coordinate with each other, and their communities.
That’s why the suppressants used must be effective and efficient. FireRein Eco-Gel™ gets the job done faster and with less water than traditional foams and gels. It also acts as a barrier to prevent fire from spreading. And after the fire is out, it is easy to clean and non-toxic to the ecosystem.
Aerospace & Defense
The aerospace and defense industries are growing rapidly in Canada, with
significant investment in R&D and manufacturing. In the US,
billions of dollars are made exporting A&D goods. With new products
and parts, it is essential that potential fires – starting from
equipment or human error – are prevented. It is also essential that when
fires are started they are extinguished quickly to protect the valuable
materials. FireRein Eco-Gel™ fights fire faster with less water and
less mess than traditional foams and gels.
Dust Control
Climate change is causing hotter and dryer conditions, increasing the
need for dust mitigation. Some areas have water shortage and clean water
supply issues. Eco-Gel™ is an excellent dust mitigation tool, as it
stays where applied longer than water without using any harmful
chemicals. Certified 100% bio-based by both UL Environment and USDA
making Eco-Gel™ a safer solution that protects your site from
environmental contamination risks. FireRein’s Eco-Gel™ is a longer
lasting product that reduces application time and costs, and is 100%
environmentally safe.
