Producer
Dafo Fomtec AB
Tyresö, Stockholm County, Sweden-based firefighting foam manufacturer; part of Dafo Vehicle Fire Protection group. Products: Enviro MIL (US DoD QPL-listed), Enviro 3% ICAO, Enviro SEA 3%, Enviro ERS, P 3%, and legacy AFFF products (3M AFFF for saltwater applications under MIL-PRF-84385F — separate from its F3 line). DoD QPL: YES — Enviro MIL approved April 1, 2025 under MIL-PRF-32725(2) Type 3 (freshwater, land-based), making it the fourth F3 product on the DoD QPL. This is notable because Dafo Fomtec simultaneously makes DoD-qualified F3 AND continues manufacturing traditional AFFF for saltwater military applications (which are not yet subject to the MIL-PRF-32725 freshwater requirement). Tyresö is 15 km southeast of Stockholm.

Did you know2025
Dafo Fomtec AB (Tyresö, Sweden) simultaneously holds a US DoD qualification for its F3 foam (Enviro MIL, QPL April 2025 under MIL-PRF-32725 for freshwater/land-based applications) AND continues manufacturing traditional AFFF (3M AFFF formulation for saltwater military applications under MIL-PRF-84385F). The same Swedish company is both a qualified part of the AFFF phase-out solution and a continuing AFFF manufacturer for applications where the phase-out mandate does not yet apply. This is a structurally rational business position — saltwater applications are on a different regulatory timeline — but it means Dafo Fomtec is actively serving both the old world and the new world simultaneously from the same Tyresö facility.
International Fire & Safety Journal ↗Origin2023
Dafo Fomtec is a Swedish company from the intersection of two distinct heritage businesses: DAFO (Swedish fire protection company with roots in the 1940s, specializing in vehicle fire suppression) and Fomtec (foam concentrate manufacturing, founded 1973 in Tyresoe, Stockholm County). The merger created a company combining hardware fire suppression system expertise with foam concentrate chemistry. Sweden's fire protection regulatory environment and Nordic industrial culture of environmental concern drove Fomtec to begin fluorine-free foam development earlier than US or German competitors. The Tyresoe facility (15 km southeast of Stockholm, in a suburb known for its furniture stores and marina) has become one of the world's few DoD-qualified F3 foam manufacturers -- achieving US DoD qualification (Enviro MIL, April 2025) from a Swedish suburb that most American fire safety professionals would not be able to locate on a map. Dafo Fomtec represents how European environmental regulatory pressure translated, 20+ years later, into competitive advantage in the US military procurement market.
