FIRECHEM FORCE can be used in conventional portable fire extinguishers, wheeled units, fire trucks, fixed installations and powder cannons.

It is a preferred choice at all high risk location. It is foam compatible and can be used in powder and foam twin application system. Apparent density of FIRECHEM FORCE is low (0.5-0.6 ) and hence FIRECHEM FORCE required will be 60% charge by weight to fill extinguisher up to the same capacity.

This application is designed for use against flammable liquid and gas fires, is based on sodium bicarbonates. It is generally considered that for powders of similar particle size distribution, those based on potassium bicarbonates are about one and a half times more effective than those based on sodium bicarbonate. This is due to the larger size of the potassium. FIRECHEM Purple K is available in different grades like : KBC -10 , KBC -30, KBC -40, KBC -60, KBC -80 and KBC-90.

TEC is used extensively in industrial processes, engineering and manufacturing in scientific laboratories. It is also used by defence establishments and ordinance factories. It can extinguish small oil fires and can be used for electrical fires. It fuses at temperature of 600 C -650 C and has high latent heat of fusion forming a hard crust on the burning surface.

FIRECHEM TEC Powder uses patented technology from Indian Space Research Organisation. This is a Ternary Eutectic Chloride based powder which has been treated with flow and moisture repellant additive. TEC POWDER can be applied gently through a special metal fire extinguisher or can also be manually applied on the burning metal with the help of a scoop or a plastic bag.
