A revolution is taking place in Fire Suppression.
Developed from solid rocket fuel technology, Pyrogen is the world's first commercially available Aerosol Fire Extinguishing
System. Designed as a safe & practical alternative to Halon, Halocarbons, Chemical Powders and Inert Gases.
Pyrogen
is available from stock in a wide range of canister sizes. Pyrogen is an inert non-toxic solid that remains stable until electrically
or thermally activated, where upon it produces a gas-like extinguishing aerosol. The
aerosol attacks the fire chemically and physically, giving virtual instant extinguishment & preventing re-ignition, and
in certain instances, explosions. For many applications Pyrogen is the only practical alternative to Halon.
The
principle of extinguishing action employed by Pyrogen is unique - a special solid chemical, when electrically or thermally
ignited, produces combustion products - micron size dry chemical particles and gases. Dry chemical particles, (mainly
potassium carbonates), and gaseous mixture, (mainly carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapour), mix together into a uniform
fire extinguishing aerosol. Before being released into a protected area,
the hot aerosol propels itself through a unique solid chemical coolant, which decomposes absorbing huge amountsof heat, thus
ensuring flameless discharge and uniform distribution of the cool aerosol within the area.
The high rate of aerosol discharge ensures a tremendous knockdown effect. Micron size aerosol
particles exhibit gas-like threedimensional qualities that allow the agent to rapidly distribute throughout enclosure and
reach even the most concealed and shielded locations. Homogeneous distribution is achieved in a matter of seconds, while long
holding times all help to prevent fire re-ignition.
