About this file

This is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for ECOPOL A3+, a fire fighting foam concentrate manufactured by BIO-EX, a French company located in Sainte-Consorce. The product is classified under European Union REACH regulations (EC 1907/2006) and CLP regulations (EC 1272/2008). ECOPOL A3+ is identified as causing serious eye irritation (Category 2) and requires standard precautionary measures including eye protection and rinsing procedures in case of contact. The primary hazard is eye irritation, with the active ingredient being 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethanol at approximately 10% concentration. The mixture does not present physical or environmental hazards under standard conditions of use and contains no substances of very high concern (SVHC) at concentrations of 0.1% or greater.

This SDS is relevant to the Lee County Port Authority's Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) F3 Foam Transition project in Florida, which involves transitioning from aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) to synthetic fluorine-free foam (SFFF). ECOPOL A3+ represents a potential fluorine-free foam alternative that could be considered for use in the ARFF vehicle fleet at Page Field (FMY) and Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW). The product meets regulatory compliance standards under European regulations and does not contain endocrine-disrupting substances, making it a viable option for facilities seeking environmentally responsible and regulatory-compliant foam solutions as part of their AFFF phase-out initiatives.
