PRESS RELEASE
This type of extinguisher is extremely beneficial for applications such as ignition prevention, bilge fires, solid combustible deep seated Class A fires that burn in, and are extremely difficult to extinguish when using agents applied on the surface. They are described in 46CFR Table 95.50-15, as allowable in areas that include, communicating corridors, galleys, paint and lamp rooms, baggage, mail, and specie rooms, storerooms, carpenter shop, boiler rooms, machinery spaces, and certain auxiliary spaces. That accounts for quite a few areas of any vessel, as described in the CFR. This is truly a milestone in the Industry, as it once again allows the end user the much needed option from the Dry Chemical, Carbon-Dioxide, and Halogenated Agents, to have a liquid based Agent which would be excellent for Spill Fires and many Class ‘A’ Fires. These Fire Extinguishers as defined in 46CFR 95.50-5(c) and 95.50-10 can be located in several different locations on board vessels, because they carry an A rating as well. Dry Chemical Extinguishers are effective, but have issues with corrosive powder and extensive cleanup, Co2 Extinguishers are gaseous, and not messy, but the gas will evaporate, Halogenated extinguishers are extremely effective, but again an evaporating gas, very expensive, and impacting the Ozone. It is not surprising, that we find many foreign Ocean liners, with Foam as the largest compliment of Portables.
