Company · Our Story

BUILT FOR THE
PFAS EXIT

DAFFCO was founded with a single purpose: to provide the fire suppression industry with a credible, certified, high-performance path away from PFAS-containing AFFF & AR AFFF.

THE COMPANY THAT EXISTS TO SOLVE THE PFAS PROBLEM

DAFFCO was purpose-built for this regulatory moment. While legacy foam manufacturers carry decades of AFFF & AR AFFF history — and the liability that comes with it — DAFFCO was designed from the ground up as a fluorine-free company. Our UL-162 listing, our lithium encapsulation technology, and our entire product philosophy reflect a single conviction: the fire suppression industry can perform at the highest level without fluorinated chemistry.

We serve customers across the United States, Latin America, and the Middle East — with a growing distribution network built for speed, technical depth, and regulatory compliance support.

  • 🛡️
    Regulatory Precision
    We built DAFFCO to solve the PFAS problem. Every product ships with complete compliance documentation, environmental profiles, and AHJ approval support.
  • 🔬
    Technical Performance
    Third-party validated test data and published suppression performance documentation. We compete on science, not just certification.
  • 🔋
    Lithium Specialization
    Our encapsulation technology mitigates thermal runaway through rapid cooling of the battery surface, a mechanism conventional suppression agents cannot provide, positioning us with a first-mover advantage in the fastest-growing segment
  • 🤝
    Customer Partnership
    We assign technical applications engineers to complex accounts. We attend AHJ pre-submission meetings. We are a safety partner, not only a product vendor.

THE WINDOW
IS CLOSING

The regulatory mandate for AFFF & AR AFFF phase-out is accelerating across jurisdictions. DAFFCO's certified F3 portfolio is ready now.

2024
EPA designates PFOA and PFOS as hazardous substances under CERCLA. US Department of Defense begins operational transition away from AFFF toward fluorine-free foams and prohibited from procuring AFFF for training purposes. Multiple US states enforce AFFF prohibition.- www.epa.gov -
26
2026
EU REACH PFAS restriction enters force. Additional US states enforce active AFFF bans. Insurance carriers and risk engineers increasingly require fluorine-free foams (F3) in underwriting policies.

2030
Industry forecasts suggest that 85–90% of firefighting foam demand will migrate to fluorine-free foams (F3) by 2030. Residual AFFF demand only in narrow military waivers. DAFFCO's $2.1B total addressable market reaches full scale.
