Our „No¹ Flame“ fire extinguishing agent in liquid form is an original chemical substance which has the ability to keep a certain quantity of dampness on the molecular level of the present substances when applied to the surface, establishing a dynamic balance between evaporation and absorption of the dampness from the air. „No¹ Flame“ is used for:
- extinguishing „A“ class fires, especially extinguishing large forest and
bush fires, fires from tires, plastics, textile, etc.;
- prevention of forest and bush fire outbreaks;
- creating a buffer zone to prevent the spreading of ongoing fire.
Compared to all other fire extinguishing means, our agent is more efficient and, what is also very important, it is far more environmentally friendly. This agent is incomparably more efficient than water or the chemical product used in the U.S., Australia and some other countries which is composed of 85% water, 10% fertilizer and 5% other chemicals. The fertilizer is monoammonium or diammonium phosphate. DAP – (Diammonium phosphate) starts to decompose at 70 °C (311 °F) to ammonia and monoammonium phosphate. DAP emits phosphorus oxides, nitrogen oxides and ammonia. Decomposition Temperature Range of MAP - Monoammonium phosphate is 170 °C (338 °F).
That means that both of them (MAP and DAP) in contact with the fire, are quickly decomposed. Namely, an average surface fire on the forest and bush floor might have flames reaching 1 meter in height and can reach temperatures of 800 °C (1,472 °F) or more. In addition, this product is largely environmentally unacceptable. Also, more frequent treatment of soil with monoammonium and diamonium phosphate causes a significant increase of acidity of the soil.
Our "No¹ Flame" agent is decomposed as follows: one component at 390 °C (734 °F) (water vapor and carbon dioxide are generated) whereas, the other component, which is active component because it extinguishes the fire, is decomposed at 1600 °C (2912 °F), and it is known that there are no such temperatures during forest and bush fires, fires from tires, plastics, etc., meaning that there is no chance our agent to be decomposed while it is used for fire extinguishing.
It is well known that some regions in Russia, some States in the USA (California, Arizona and some others) as well as Brazil, Australia, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Italy and many other countries, face large forest and bush fires that inflict unprecedented economic and environmental damage and very often human casualties, every year.
We would like to especially point out that our "No¹ Flame" agent is extremely effective in permanent extinguishing of the so-called deep smoldering fires on peat and coal. Smoldering combustion is a self-sustaining, slowly propagating, low-temperature flameless combustion process in which solid fuel first undergoes thermal decomposition (pyrolysis), producing volatiles and carbonaceous char.
Smoldering mega fires are the largest and longest burning fires on Earth. They destroy essential peat land ecosystems and are responsible for 15% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. For example, the Indonesian fires pump at least 708 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) in the atmosphere, largely as the result of burning of carbon-rich peatlands.
