Aerosol Fire Extinguishing 
Technologies

Technology overview

An aerosol is a heterogeneous mixture of solid and/or liquid suspended particles and air. An aerosol of solid and gaseous particles is formed from the combustion of the solids contained in the generator. The aerosol behavior always depends on the particles, the carrier gas and the ambient parameters. The airborne particles are called aerosol particles and have a size of approximately 1 μm.
The property of aerosols that is of being able to be transported with gases for extended period of times, lies in the fact that with increasingly decreasing diameters they become more and more like gas molecules.

The actual extinguishing agent is potassium hydrogencarbonate. It decomposes at only about 50 °C, whereby water and carbon dioxide are split off. This produces potassium carbonate.

Physiologically, potassium carbonate is harmless; it is also included as the additive E501 in foods / aliments.
The aerosol generators differ from similar products in that special solid compositions are used for their production whereby a smaller amount of solid airborne matter is produced in the fire extinguishing aerosols.
The second special feature of fire extinguishing aerosols is their low toxicity. These characteristics make it possible to minimize the negative effects on persons and objects during fire fighting operations.

Inhalation of the extinguishing aerosol does not lead to poisoning (inhalation poisoning)

The change in the atmosphere through the aerosol does not lead to a loss of consciousness or suffocation

The extinguishing aerosol allows for a prolonged evacuation time of people


The aerosol fire extinguishing generators can be used to fight fires in enclosed areas in accordance with fire classifications А, B, C and F. The fire extinguishing generators are suitable for use up to 35KVA (electrical installations)
