Sorry to disagree as your statement is too broad, and too vague in nature. Modern day, automotive based and offered Coldfire systems are NON CORROSIVE and NON TOXIC in nature. Having had one shoot off in my face several years ago (damn customers two year old actually knew to pull the pin and push on the actuator. Thankfully, it was his car and not mine ), I can tell you from very personal experience that they are non corrosive. Of course there are industrial versions, and poor quality, not well thought out other automotive AFFF systems that may be, but the automotive ones personally used (I prefer ColdFire) are most certainly not.
