A regular extinguishing agent such as water, foam, or dry chemical powders is not suitable for extinguishing metal fires, especially sodium, potassium, lithium, magnesium, and alloys, because water reacts dangerously with metal at normal conditions.

Foamtech manufactured Flamax Class D Fire Extinguishing Agent for metal fire such as sodium, potassium, lithium, magnesium, and alloys are made in such a fashion to treat any type of metal fire. It is a free-flowing agent & water-repellant agent to get the best-performing powder.

In sodium fires, for example, the combustion of sodium in the air results in the formation of sodium peroxide and sodium oxide. The rate of reaction is controlled by the rate vaporization of sodium and the rate diffusion of oxygen in the combustion zone. In light of these factors, Flamax Class D Fire Extinguishing Agent can cease these factors by fusing at above 650oC to absorb heat from the metal and make a solid crust on the metal surface, resulting in cut-off oxygen and heat radiation. Flamax Class D Fire Extinguishing Agent reacts readily with free radicals of metals and terminates the chain reaction, resulting in a quick and effective knockdown.
