Unlike conventional foams that can persist in the environment for thousands of years after discharge, the fluorine-free Eclipse fire suppressant foam rapidly biodegrades.
Due to this property, quarry operators are able to save on the time and money that would have been spent on the clean up and environmental, health and safety reporting required for fluorine-based foam systems.
The new foam is ideal for mobile equipment and can be used in all new and existing Sandvik-compliant fire suppression systems.
