Aerosol Supression System
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.
