Is your foam truly C6?

To ensure that your foam really is C6 compliant, we can facilitate testing of your foam concentrates.
We can offer two types of analysis:
- TOPA testing: Total Oxidizable Precursor Assay (TOPA) is a hydroxyl radical based oxidation reaction. Precursors are transformed to dead end perfluoroalkylic acids (PFAAs) in such reactions. The evaluation of pre- and post-TOP assay data may therefore offer a clearer view of PFAS being present in specific samples. Further information on this testing can be downloaded here.
- PFC testing: Foam concentrates are analysed using the DIN 38414-14 testing standard to determine polyfluorinated compounds (PFC) content using high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometric detection. This method tests for PFOA, PFOS, PFHxA and 10 other PFAS.
