Morita's Innovative Foam Extinguishing Agent: PureVeil
Morita, based in Hyogo, Japan, is set to revolutionize fire safety with the launch of its new foam extinguishing agent, PureVeil. This innovative product, made completely without PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), is designed to effectively combat oil fires caused by flammable liquids such as gasoline and oil. The official release is scheduled for July 2026, marking a significant step in addressing environmental and health concerns associated with traditional fire-fighting foams.
Background and Overview
Traditionally, foam extinguishing agents have been essential for tackling oil fires due to their effectiveness. However, many of these old formulations contained PFAS to enhance extinguishing performance. Increasing regulatory scrutiny surrounding PFAS, due to its potential health and environmental risks, has created urgent demands for safer alternatives. In Japan, the use of PFAS-containing fire-fighting agents has strict limitations and the industry faces uncertainties regarding the availability of these older products.
In light of these challenges, Morita has developed the PureVeil foam extinguishing agent that ensures high fire-fighting performance without introducing harmful substances. Designed not only for oil fires but also for common fires involving materials like wood and paper, PureVeil aims to provide reliable extinguishing capabilities while alleviating concerns about supply issues related to existing foams.
