How it works

To fully understand how our solution works, we must start by understanding the basic behavior of fire:

To start a fire, four basic elements must be present to create what is called the “fire triangle”: fuel, oxygen, heat, and a chemical chain reaction.

Most fire fighting agents work by removing one of the four elements, primarily oxygen. In contrast, Fire Terminator products neutralize fire by interfering at the molecular level and producing free radicals that disrupt the combustion chain, which in turn neutralize fire.

Free radicals create aerodynamics that prevent the fire from reigniting. Our solution captures the fuel source and uses the free radicals to break down the molecular structure of any fuel product.

Why isn't water an effective way to put out fires?

Water boils at 100°C and evaporates at 110°C. Whatever the type of fire, as soon as water reaches a temperature above 350°C, it is automatically transformed into steam.

The three main reasons that limit water efficiency are:

1. Water cannot put out B-C-D-K fires and forest fires.

2. Water is made up of H2O molecules and, depending on the type of fire, a water electrolysis reaction could occur, when it separates into hydrogen gas and oxygen. These separate elements could therefore add fuel to the fire. (Hydrogen fuel + oxygen + fire = intense fire)

3. It evaporates very quickly and a large volume of water must be continuously sprayed onto the fire in order to keep the area humid and slow the fire's progress.

If you attended military survival training, one of the first concepts you learned would have been how to start a fire that cannot be extinguished by rain.

Why don't foam fire extinguishers really put out fires?

It is well known that oxygen is present all over the world. Using conventional methods to put out fires, firefighters need to spread moss continuously in order to preserve this blanket, as the fire will tend to reignite once the blanket is gone.

Most extinguishing foams contain hydrocarbons and derived ingredients that are in fact toxic. Also, once they reach a certain temperature, they can intensify the flames or be consumed. That's why we hear so often in the media about fires that burn for days, even weeks.
