What are Firefighting Chemicals?
Firefighting Chemicals is a chemical used for fire suppression. Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, resulting in suppression of the combustion.
Dry chemicals help extinguish fires by hindering the fuel break down into free radicals during combustion. These free radicals of fuel are highly reactive when they come in contact with oxygen. The powdered base agents in dry chemicals help to separate the oxygen from radicals and thus extinguish the combustion.
Wet chemicals consist of potassium citrate, potassium carbonate, and potassium acetate. These agents along with water when spread over a combustion zone, form a foam blanket. This foam blanket reacts with the elements in fire and thus extinguishes it.
Sodium chloride was one of the first chemicals which was utilized in an extinguisher. It consists of crystalline salts that help break the reaction between free radicals of fuel and oxygen by melting over the combustion zone. It is often used in addition to nylon which allows it to quickly form an extinguishing crust over the burning area.
The other segment consists of the potassium bicarbonate & urea complex, potassium acetate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium carbonate. Potassium bicarbonate & urea complex is also known as Monnex. It breaks down in the combustion zone which inhibits the free radical growth in fuel and its contact with oxygen. This hence causes the combustion to cease. Sodium bicarbonate is utilized along with silicon in foams which helps to extinguish combustion effectively.
