Aerosol Generating Fire Extinguisher Once activated, the aerosol fire extinguisher initiate a reaction in which the released aerosol binds the free radicals.
The dry compound used in AF-X Nano Generators is Potassium based (K). The aerosol compound binds quicker with the unstable free radicals O (oxygen) & H (hydrogen) than a fire reaction. Forming stable products such as KOH (making unstable radicals, stable). Due to the presence of CO2, the KOH disintegrates into K2CO3. K2CO3 is a stable white substance that is not corrosive and poses no danger to humans or animals.
This action extinguishes fire without depleting the ambient oxygen content. The solid particles of Potassium based (K) have a particle size of less than two ppm (parts per million) and remain in suspension in the protected room/enclosure for at least 30 minutes, preventing further re-ignition of the fire.
