Amerex Class D Dry Powder Stored Pressure Fire Extinguishers
Exclusive “Soft
Flow” Extension Applicator provides the advantage in combustible metal fires.
Drawn steel cylinders, all-metal valves, and a unique applicator make this an
extinguisher you can depend on to fight the hottest Class D fires. The Amerex
"Soft Flow" extension applicator keeps the operator's hands away from
the extreme heat and prevents inhalation of toxic fumes caused by burning metals
and metal alloys. The easily controlled, even discharge provides a non-dispursing
application of the agent. The applicator may be quickly detached to provide a
straight stream of chemical where greater range, a narrow discharge pattern, or
a lobbing effect is required.
MODEL B570: Special
blended Sodium Chloride based extinguishing agent. Heat from the fire
causes it to cake and form a crust excluding air and dissipating heat from burning
metal. Metal fires involving magnesium, sodium, potassium, and sodium-potassium
alloys can be successfully extinguished with this extinguisher. There is data
showing that zirconium, uranium, titanium, and powdered alumnium fires can be
controlled and extinguished with this unique extinguisher.
MODEL B571: Copper
extinguishing agent. Specially developed by the U.S. Navy for fighting
lithium and lithium alloy fires, the copper compound smothers the fire and provides
an excellent heat sink for dissipating heat. Copper powder has been found to
be superior to all other known fire extinguishing agents for lithium.
