AJBPIKE — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 08:08:33 +0000

Ansul Metl-X may be used on sodium, potassium, sodium-potassium alloy, and magnesium fires. In addition it will control and sometimes extinguish small fires on zirconium and titanium. Met-L-X can be discharged through hose lines and is available in hand portable, wheeled, stationary, and piped system extinguishers.

AJBPIKE — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 07:31:32 +0000

Ansul Lith-X was developed for use on lithium fires, and will also extinguish magnesium, sodium, and potassium fires. Lith-X will contain and in some cases completely extinguish fires of zirconium, titanium, and sodium-potassium alloy.

Lith-X is a compound of a special graphite base with additives to render it free-flowing so that it may be used in extinguishers. It does not cake or cruse, but excludes air and conducts heat away from the burning mass to extinguish the fire.

Purple-K agent is one of the most effective of the ANSUL dry chemicals against Class B fires. It is a potassium bicarbonate based dry chemical containing chemical additives, and is produced by an exclusive chemical process. The resultant agent is free-flowing, water repellant, non-abrasive and, when used as a fire suppressing agent, will produce no toxic effects. Purple-K agent is purple in color to differentiate it from the other dry chemical agents. Post-fire cleanup of Purple-K agent can be readily accomplished using a vacuum cleaner or a broom and dust pan.

Foray Extinguisher Powder

AJBPIKE — Sun, 07 Oct 2018 12:56:28 +0000

FORAY dry chemical agent is the only one of the ANSUL dry chemical agents that provides Class A fire suppression. It is a monoammonium phosphate based dry chemical containing chemical additives, and produced by an exclusive chemical process. The resultant agent is free-flowing, water repellent, non-abrasive, and when used as a fire suppressing agent will produce no toxic effects.

FORAY is yellow in color to differentiate it from the other dry chemical agents. Moisture may combine with monoammonium phosphate based agents in post fire situations to produce mild corrosion. Because of this, prompt cleanup is recommended.
