department testing |
- UL Listed (7P21)
- Approved Halon alternative under the US EPA 'SNAP' program.
- Approved to NFPA 10, 18 and UL162 and UL711
- Approved USDA Forestry Services 5100-307
- Up to 7 times more effective than water alone.
- Suitable for Class A and B
- Non Toxic & 100% Biodegradable
- Environmentally friendly, low odour alternative to AFFF.
- Encapsulates the Oxygen to consume the fire.
- Shears the Hydrocarbon molecules to break the flame carriers
- Non Corrosive, and 'lubricates' hoses and fittings.
- Stays in suspension in water indefinitely.
- Safe to store, handle and use without PPE.
FlameOut is the only UL Listed wetting agent for Class A & B fires.
FlameOut is unique in the way it attacks the fire in 3 distinctive ways:
- FlameOut encapsulates the Oxygen to effectively starve the fire.
- FlameOut chemically shears the hydrocarbon strings, rendering the fuel source inert.
- FlameOut 'wets' the water, increasing its cooling and penetrative properties.
Over 16 years in development, FlameOut when mixed at between 1 - 10% concentration, is a certified SNAP
replacement for Halon 1211, and is a safe and friendly alternative to AFFF.
The chemical is non-toxic, non-corrosive and leaves no residue. As a result, any mess or clean up time and
cost is considerably reduced.
As the product is 100% rapidly bio degradable, accidental spillage or entry into the waste water system
presents no hazard to persons, animals or plant life. Flameout is the only surfactant approved by the ERA for
both commercial and residential applications.
FlameOut can be used in portable appliances and may be applied via pumping apparatus, reservoirs or
directly into the hose lines via conventional dispensing equipment.
By reducing the amount of water required for a given fire, resultant loss or damage to property may also be
reduced, as well as preserving an increasingly valuable resource.
FlameOut is widely used by the fire industry supplied nationwide in US Domestic and industrial portable
extinguishers, and is in trials with the US Navy. Flameout is also undergoing certification to FAA minimum
performance standards as a Halon replacement for hand held extinguishers on commercial passenger
aircraft.
FlameOut is the result of extensive patented research and development by BioGenesis Enterprises Inc.
- Encapsulates the oxygen to effectively 'eat' the fire
- Breaks the hydrocarbon strings to render the fuel inert
- 'Wets' the water increasing its cooling & penetration properties
- Acts as a 'scrubber' knocking smoke & soot to the ground
- Makes water up to 7 times more effective
