ADVANTAGES OF PYROCAP

Highly Effective In Suppressing Smoke 

 

              PYROCAP B-136™ reduces the emissions of carbonaceous fumes, reducing 
the hazard of smoke inhalation and the need for mechanical ventilation. 
 
              Hydrocarbon gases and fine particulate materials are  liquified into the dilute 
agent and “washed” out. For best results, It is recommended that the agent be applied in 
a fog pattern using sweeping motion and varying the degree of fog from 30 degree to 
the full open setting. 

 
 
 

Heat Absorption 

 
               PYROCAP B-136™ has an extraordinary ability to absorb a large amount of 
heat, thus significantly reducing the threat of heat exposure and the danger of inhaling 
superheated steam. This characteristic has proven to be significant in extinguishing 
structure fires, automobile fires, tire fires, coal mine fires, and dynamic oil well fires. 
 
 
 

Rapid Suppression of Multiple Class Fires 

 
                PYROCAP B-136™ can speedily extinguish Class A and combinations of 
Classes A, B, and D fires. The product’s wetting, cooling, and emulsifying character-
istics greatly enhances the quick extinguishment of fire. This ability provides the 
following benefits: 
 
 
• 

Maximize the safety of firefighters, occupants, and those in the vicinity of the 
burning property; 

 
• 

Minimize the quantity of water used in fighting fire, thereby enhancing the ability 
to extinguish a    fire with water carried In tanks when hydrants are too distant, 
and when only one engine is available (this feature will also lower the cost of 
damage by water and greatly reduce the cost of fire to the community); and 

 
• 

Simplify the planning, environmental analysis, logistics and control of tire, coal, 
and wildland fires.
