Here is some basic information on special eco-friendly aerosol fire-extinguishing devices (cartridges and dispensers) developed in cooperation with “White Wolf.SpT” LLC company from Moscow (Russia) with their team of experts led by Mr. Andrey Kozyrev, a top specialist in the field of fire extinguishing who performed the most responsible functions in the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Affairs for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (in Russian: Министерство по чрезвычайным ситуациям – МЧС России) or internationally as EMERCOM (derived from "Emergency Control Ministry")
The term "fire extinguishing aerosol" implies one of the commonly used methods of bulk fires suppression, in which in the whole volume of the protected premises or facility creates an environment that does not support combustion process (a chain reaction of oxidation). The mechanism of fire extinguishing by fire extinguishing aerosol is to inhibit (slowing and braking) chemical reaction of combustion in the flame zone, thanks to the intensive mixing of the active particles from the warm mist involved and ready to participate in the oxidation reaction of atmospheric oxygen molecules. In this case the heat is gradually reduced in the outbreak of fire and as a result, the gas temperature decreases general volume of indoor environment. All the chemicals in the aerosol are eco-friendly.
Fire extinguishing aerosol in warm active phase is able to suspend fire in the protected volume (room) for 30 - 40 minutes, during which time it will continue to inhibit the combustion zone and localize possible hotbeds ignition.
Fire extinguishing aerosols are far superior to the fire-extinguishing capability and basic technical and economic indicators of all currently used of surround extinguishing media for fires extinguishing.
The mechanism of action of the fire extinguishing aerosol is largely similar to the mechanism of action of fire extinguishing powder, but with a higher efficiency due to greater dispersion of particles at the fire-extinguishing concentration, the inhibitory effect and ease of removal after firing installations.

Extinguishing aerosols act volumetrically and are recommended even for extinguishing fires on electrical appliances under voltage of 10 000 V.
The preferential and effective range of applications - power installations, electrical transformers, electrical switchboards and switch gear, cable tunnels and collectors, luggage compartments of vehicles, engine rooms of vessels, the room with the presence of flammable and combustible substances, hangars, parking lot, warehouses of rubber and rubber products, polymers and plastics, the elimination of open burning to reduce heat radiation and ensure safe operation, the personnel of fire departments serving the extinguishing agents.
Output components (substances) which are the constituent parts of aerosol are environmentally friendly.
