The US Air Force has awarded a US$6.2 million contract to replace firefighting foam used in fire vehicles with an environmentally responsible foam to reduce the risk of possible contamination of soil and groundwater. In August ICL Performance Products was awarded the contract for 1.5 million litres of Phos-Chek 3%, six-carbon chain aqueous film forming foam. All foam in fire vehicles and fire stations is expected to be replaced by the end of 2016.
