Mineral-based fire fighting agent for metal fires and Lithium-ion batteries
Firechief PyroFlow is a new and environmentally friendly suppression agent made from expanded glass granulate. It can be used for firefighting and preventative fire protection. It contains tiny internal pores which form a partially closed cell structure. Since the granulate is 100 % mineral based, it is non-combustible.
How does Firechief PyroFlow work?
By covering the fire load with Firechief PyroFlow, oxygen is separated from the combustible material. Firechief PyroFlow melts to form glass caused by the high temperatures as released by such an incident. In the process, the granules absorb a lot of heat as they melt, thus cooling the fire, and at the same time forming an impermeable shell around the fire load, encapsulating it from further reaction.
USER GUIDE FOR FIRE FIGHTING
Step 1 - Only approach the battery/source of fire if considered safe to do so. Battery fires are unpredictable and can lead to uncontrolled explosions and projectiles.
Step 2 - Place entire sealed bags of PyroFlow onto the battery/source of fire. Depending on the size of the fire, start by placing bags around the battery/source of fire, starting at the edge. Continue to add bags to completely cover the battery/source of fire.
Step 3 - More bags may be required should further flaring or re-ignition occur.
Step 4 - Do not uncover the fire until professional fire fighters are in attendance.
