BIOEX has been a pioneer in the firefighting foam industry since its founding in 1998. Can you share with us the journey of BIOEX from its inception?  Since our founding in 1998, BIOEX has been dedicated to the research, development, and manufacturing of high-performance and eco-friendly firefighting foam concentrates. In 2002, after an extensive research and development program, we launched ECOPOL, the first-ever fluorine-free and eco-friendly multipurpose foam concentrate (FFF-AR: Fluorine-Free Foam – Alcohol Resistant) available on the market.  Our team, composed of doctors and engineers in chemistry, works daily to improve our formulas. Our foam concentrates are tailored to the industrial, maritime, aviation, and firefighting sectors, ensuring maximum efficiency in extinguishing various types of fires, including Class A and B fires, such as solid and flammable liquid fires.  As part of LEADER GROUP BIOEX benefits from a strong network both nationally and internationally.  To support our rapid growth and meet the increasing demand for our innovative solutions, we strategically relocated to a state-of-the-art facility near Lyon, France, in 2020. This modern site has significantly expanded our production and storage capacities, allowing us to enhance efficiency and ensure the dedicated production of fluorine-free foam concentrates. This upgrade positions us to better serve our global clients and stay ahead of market needs.  In addition, the launch of BIOEX Inc. in the United States marks a pivotal milestone in our expansion strategy. By establishing a strong local presence, we are now able to more effectively cater to the specific requirements of our U.S. customers, ensuring faster delivery and more responsive service.  With over 26 years of expertise, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation. Our mission is clear: to develop high-performance foam concentrates that not only excel in firefighting but also align with the global shift toward environmentally sustainable solutions.  What were the key challenges and milestones during the development of ECOPOL, the world’s first multipurpose fluorine-free foam concentrate?  In 2002, BIOEX revolutionised the firefighting industry with the launch of ECOPOL, the world’s first fluorine-free foam concentrate (FFF-AR) effective on both Class A and B fires. At a time when fluorinated foams dominated the market, ECOPOL stood as a groundbreaking innovation, proving that eco-friendly solutions could deliver the same, if not superior, fire-extinguishing power as their fluorinated counterparts.  With growing concerns about fluorinated compounds, ECOPOL has become the go-to solution for forward-thinking organisations committed to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainable operations. Companies certified with ISO 14001 and ISO 26000 are turning to our fluorine-free foams range to align their fire protection strategies with their environmental management goals.  Formulated without any added PFAS—such as PFOS, PFOA, PFHxA, and PFHxS—ECOPOL is fully compliant with the most stringent global regulations on fluorinated compounds. It is also GreenScreen certified, further validating our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Unlike traditional foams, ECOPOL leaves no lasting environmental footprint: it is biodegradable, non-toxic, and designed to protect not just people and property, but also the planet.    To read the full article, see our last issue here.

Automated and Connected Detection

Exclusives /

The fire safety industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by advances in digitisation and automation that are changing how we maintain and manage critical systems. Ben Wolf, Offering Leader for Honeywell in Europe, brings over 11 years of experience in fire safety and is at the forefront of these developments. In this exclusive interview by Rebecca Spayne, Managing Editor of International Fire Buyer, Ben Wolf delves into how Honeywell is addressing industry challenges, from reducing false alarms to enhancing regulatory compliance and championing competency culture.  Thank you for joining me Ben, please could you introduce yourself.  My name is Ben Wolf, I work for an organisation called Honeywell and I’ve worked very heavily in the context of being able to make sure that we can drive towards a more digitised future where we’re looking at actually making things safer, making things more compliant and frankly making things easier for building owners and facilities managers to be able to protect the people within their buildings.  Automation is increasingly seen as the future of fire safety, with remote monitoring playing a critical role. Could you explain how technology may help mitigate false alarms?  Mitigating false alarms is everybody’s responsibility, not just for Honeywell but across the entire industry. Remote monitoring is one of the major ways Honeywell contributes to reducing false alarms. This technology allows us to carry out real-time system diagnostics, so we can detect potential issues before they escalate to a false alarm. It’s about using data to monitor detectors and system functionality, which enables us to identify potential problems early on. Remote monitoring also allows us to carry out continuous checks and manage the system’s status, ensuring that resources aren’t wasted, and that Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) are only dispatched when absolutely necessary. By optimising the resources of FRSs and eliminating unnecessary callouts, we allow them to focus on genuine emergencies. This also ensures the integrity of fire safety systems, which benefits everyone involved in maintaining safe and compliant buildings.  You mentioned in your Fire Buyer Live Series Presentation, taking place November 26th on our LinkedIn company page, that despite advancements, there’s a long way to go in improving fire safety and regulations, particularly since Grenfell. How do you see competency culture changing, and can fully automated testing systems contribute to this?  That’s a really important point. Since Grenfell, there has been a greater emphasis on competency across all levels in fire safety—whether it’s manufacturers, engineers, or end users. We’re seeing a shift from just carrying out functional tests to more thorough safety and compliance checks. Automation is a big driver of this change. When we automate routine tests, we free up the expertise and competence of our workforce. Rather than being caught up in performing functional tests, they can focus on assessing safety and compliance. This helps us to use their skills more effectively and efficiently, dedicating their efforts to parts of the process where they’re most valuable. It’s all about ensuring that fire safety systems aren’t just functioning but are genuinely contributing to safety and meeting compliance standards. This shift toward a competency culture means that people are increasingly focused on ensuring systems are compliant and safe, not just functional.    To read the full article, see our last issue here.

Building on a Legacy: TenCate and the future of FR

Exclusives /

TenCate Protective Fabrics’ Jason Traynor discusses the company’s long history, global reach, and modern flame-resistant fabric innovations TenCate Protective Fabrics, a name synonymous with high-performance protective textiles, has been a critical player in the emergency response (ER) sector for decades. With a legacy spanning over 300 years, TenCate has consistently demonstrated commitment to innovation, producing fabrics that stand at the frontline of safety for emergency responders globally. To discover more about the innovation behind the scenes, International Fire Buyer caught up with Jason Traynor, TenCate’s VP of Global Emergency Response, to discover his insights into how the company’s history, approach to global standards, and dedication to research drive their mission to protect lives through high-quality fabrics. Please give us an insight into the history and heritage of TenCate Protective Fabrics The legacy of TenCate Protective Fabrics is a testament to its commitment to innovation and quality. Traynor underscores that “the TenCate brand is over 300 years old, with origins in The Netherlands. In the 1960s, we were the first to spin Nomex fibers into yarns used for turnout gear.” This pioneering spirit remains a foundational element of TenCate’s ethos, driving the company to constantly evolve and meet the rigorous demands of the ER industry. This historic perspective shapes TenCate’s approach today, combining craftsmanship with cutting-edge technologies. As Traynor says, “Innovation has always been at the core of what we do – even back to our roots”. By staying ahead of industry trends and addressing the unique challenges faced by ER professionals, TenCate has cemented its place as a leading provider of protective fabrics worldwide. How do you view the current global market for protective fabrics in Emergency Response? The emergency response fabric market is a complex and competitive field, shaped by an intricate blend of regulatory standards. As Traynor explains, “The global market for ER fabrics is very robust and dynamic. It’s a market that is regulated by standards from NFPA, EN, ISO, along with various other regional requirements.” Meeting these standards is critical, but TenCate views compliance as only the beginning. “The basic requirements are essentially rules of the game, but we strive for our fabrics to far outperform the baseline requirements,” Traynor emphasises. By collaborating with key partners like PBI Performance Products, TenCate aims to “understand unmet customer needs within the segment and then deliver innovative solutions to address these needs.” This proactive approach enables TenCate to develop products that not only meet but often exceed the expectations of ER professionals globally. What are some of the key drivers and challenges you’re seeing across different regions? Traynor describes how the demand for protective fabrics hinges on three fundamental criteria. Achieving the ideal balance between these factors is challenging, especially when considering regional variations. Traynor explains in more detail, “In general, there are three key drivers in this space: Thermal Protection, Comfort/Breathability, and Durability. Simultaneously maximising performance in these three areas is challenging, but our global Research and Development team works tirelessly to optimise our fabrics’ performance.” In addition to these technical challenges, economic pressures further complicate the landscape. Traynor points out that “inflation and increasing raw material costs have been a pain point for the market and have negatively impacted the affordability of fire protective clothing in all regions.” By navigating these cost challenges while maintaining high standards, TenCate ensures that its products remain accessible and reliable, a necessity in the ER sector where lives depend on the quality of protective gear.   To read the full article, see our last issue here.
