Suppression of Metal Fires

 
              PYROCAP B-136™ has the unique capability of extinguishing  many types of 
metal fires. When combined with water at a 6 percent concentration, the product is 
effective in extinguishing magnesium, aluminum, titanium, sodium, white phosphorous, 
and solid rocket propellant fires. 
 
 
 

Flexibility to Extinguish Static and Dynamic Class B Fires 

 
              PYROCAP  B-136™ is very effective  in extinguishing non-polar hydrocarbon 
fuels (such as JP-4, diesel, and crude oil) in the high boiling range without burnback. 
The product  is also effective in extinguishing dynamic Class B fires, such as oil well 
heads, and ship board fires. 
 
 
 

Versatility to Create Chemical Fire Break 

 
              When used at a 6 percent concentration PYROCAP B-136™ has been proven 
to provide an effective fire break in wildland applications. In urban and suburban 
communities, the product has been applied to exposed houses to prevent ignition due to 
radiant heat from fully involved adjacent dwellings (fig. 1).
