Farmers and firefighters are excited about a soybean-based firefighting foam that would replace existing products made with forever chemicals.
Pat Mulooly with the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board is in Dalton, Georgia, where Cross Plains Solutions demonstrated the foam product they developed. “There is a fair amount of firefighters here that are very excited, and they are telling me they need the product. It replaces the PFAS product that was on the market, and in some places, it’s been pulled.”
Mulooly says the surprising development making the soy-based firefighting foam a valuable tool is once applied, the combustible materials won’t reignite.
