Easy on Operating Costs
Novacool UEF is mixed with water at only 0.4%. This is an 87-93% reduction in product needed, compared to conventional extinguishing agents that are typically used at 3-6%. This means it is effective at approximately one-sixth (1/6th) of the concentration of conventional firefighting chemicals.

Easy on the Environment
By replacing aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) with 100% biodegradable, non-toxic Novacool UEF, you can reduce the devastating environmental impact of ozone-depleting halon gases, which release both toxic hydrofluoric acid and fluorocarbons into the environment when used.
Not only will using Novacool eco-friendly firefighting foam radically reduce your impact on local ecosystems, but it will also help you avoid fines, damage, and the associated administrative burden.

Testimonials
Ast Chief Morgan Cox, Lenorah, Texas Fire Dept.
It has been our experience that Novacool is the best foam we have ever used in putting out oil field fires. Novacool creates a thick, enduring blanket that extinguishes these Class B fires more quickly and efficiently than other foams we have used, saving water, time and the oil that is being stored. Novacool UEF saves money for their department and the energy companies involved.
