Don’t just fight fires…

Extinguish them with PYROCOOL® Fire Extinguishing Foam (FEF)
Pyrocool is used at a 0.4% concentration

Introduction to PYROCOOL®
In use around the world for over 20 years World Trade Center NY- September , subterranean fires Tanker fire MV Nassia- extinguished fire in less than 20 minutes Lynchburg, VA train fire- extinguished 20,000 gallon acetone tank car fire Un-paralleled effectiveness Faster extinguishment than AFFF and other foams at a lower concentration First non-toxic foam Winner of Presidential Green Chemistry Award

What makes PYROCOOL® different?
Cools, blankets, and emulsifies. Rapidly absorbs heat energy. Reduces material temperatures to below the combustion point. Prevents the release of vapors and the risk of flashback. Firefighters report a “cooling shield” in front of them.

What makes PYROCOOL® different?
Non Toxic Foam Zero risk to firefighters, bystanders, and the environment. Does not contain fluorine or other harmful chemicals. Non- corrosive. 100 % biodegradable.

How does PYROCOOL® save money?
PYROCOOL® is used at a 0.4% ratio. AFFF is used at a 3% ratio AFFF AR (or ATC) is often used at a 6% ratio ColdFire® is used at a 1% to 10% ratio PYROCOOL® extinguishes from 10% to 40% faster than other foams. Cost savings due to: Less PYROCOOL ® used Less water used Less damage Reduced personnel costs Easier site cleanup after the fire
