PRODUCT BENEFITS - FireAde 2000

Cost Effective

FireAde 2000 has multipurpose functions and eliminates the need to stock various different agents for different kinds of fires. The cost of buying and storing agents for every situation will total more than any similar single quantity of FireAde 2000. Also, because FireAde 2000 will knock down fires up to six times faster than UL 162 rated Class B Foam and will use up to six times less medium, there are other cost benefits related to product consumption, manpower deployment and damage limitation. Because foam needs frequent applications to maintain a barrier layer over afire, FireAde 2000 is far more economical as it would only require one application to totally extinguish the same fire. Also, less water and faster knockdown times mean less water damage and less clean-up costs, less wear and tear on equipment, less economical loss and less insurance risk and liability to fire-fighters and property owners. FireAde 2000 may be diluted with fresh brackish or sea water.

Non-Hazardous
FireAde 2000 contains no elements reported under the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title |||, Section 313 of CRF­372 or the Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of July 1,1995.

Biodegradable
FireAde 2000 is able to decay rapidly in the environment, causing no harm to plants, animals or any other parts of the environmental structure. FireAde 2000 has a low BOD / COD (low oxygen demand) requirement and, under RCRA CFR261 regulations, it may be discarded safely as a non-hazardous waste product.

Non-Toxic
FireAde 2000 is well below toxic levels on acute toxicity tests.

Non-Corrosive
FireAde 2000 no more corrosive than potable water and has a virtually neutral pH value of 7.2 (water is 7). It is also 30 times less corrosive than AFFF Foams and is therefore much more beneficial to delivery systems and to structures and property involved in a fire.

Robust Delivery
FireAde 2000's integrity is not diminished by rain or windy conditions; in fact the emulsification process will be enhanced by heavy rain. Other products on the market, based solely on a foam blanket, can be adversely affected by poor weather conditions.

Any kind of delivery system, from hi-tech machinery to the most simple portable fire extinguisher, will benefit from the fact that FireAde 2000 is non-corrosive, has no shelf life or storage problems and requires no maintenance. In short, used as your primary fire fighting medium in place of foams, powders arid gasses, FireAde 2000 will actually show cost benefits in a very short period of time.

Equipment and Maintenance
FireAde 2000 is non-corrosive to gaskets, fire hoses, nozzles, sprinkler systems and fire fighting apparatus. Because it has lubrication qualities, the product has a beneficial effect on hardware life expectancy. A single water flush effectively cleans equipment.

Because FireAde 2000 may be diluted with potable water, sea water or brackish water, equipment can be replenished from any convenient water supply.

FireAde 2000 may be used with standard equipment provided the equipment is primarily designed to utilize water or foam as a medium of fire control such as:

NOZZLES (aspirated and non-aspirated nozzles, foam tubes and multi-purpose jet spray and fog nozzles).
EDUCTORS (in-line, by-pass etc.)
PROPQRTIONER$ (on board, around the pump etc.)
PRE-MIXED (in portable or fixed tanks etc.)

Unlimited Shelf Life
FireAde 2000 concentrate and dilutions have an unlimited shelf life. Once premixed with water, at the desired percentage, the mixture will not separate.

Personal Safety
FireAde 2000 has the ability to eliminate or reduce smoke toxins, flammable vapors, radiant, and ambient heats which may be hazardous to operational personnel as well as casualties.
