Extinguishing Actions

BENEFITS:

How It Works:

• Physical - Lowering the fire temperature to a level below which the fire reaction cannot continue thermal cooling

  • Dilution of the fire combustion zone by the aerosol cloud (additional fuel molecules cannot participate in the combustion process)
  • Physical hindrance to flame propagation (aerosol particles slow down velocity of a flame front propagation)
