Cold Fire® is a
environmentally friendly rapid cooling fire suppressing agent,
leading the way in fire fighting technology and
revolutionizing the way fire fighters combat fires!
Cold Fire® gets its name from its extraordinary ability to
remove HEAT from any object in which it comes in contact. The
suppressants in Cold Fire® act as encapsulators that use
water as a catalyst to remove heat and work to encapsulate the
fuel source from a fire.

heated surface more quickly than water alone.
Cold Fire® penetrates a heated surface and instantly cools it
down, unlike water alone which converts to heated steam.
Using Cold Fire® enhances safety!
Bulk

COLD FIRE® is
added to pump apparatus, reservoirs, or inducted into fire
hose lines to attack large fires.
Application Pressure: Pump - Use 150-175 psi: Nozzle - Use
100-110 psi (fog nozzle is usually recommended)
Cold
fire® rapid cooldown spray
This product was
designed as a safety tool for trade applications. It is used
to cool down hot surfaces rapidly. It is an excellent tool for
plumbers, welders, roofers, mechanics . all those who work
with hot surfaces and open flame. Several members of the
motorized racing industry use this handy tool to cool down hot
surfaces such as tires and brakes when cars come into the pit
area. Available in 12 oz. air powered spray can, this product
is light weight and easy to handle. Sprays in any direction,
even upside down!
Fire
block fire retardant
Developed from the
extraorindary life saving and fire fighting Cold Fire, Fire
Suppressing Agent, the FIRE BLOCK Fire Retardant is a
revolutionary product which retards fires by stopping
dangerous flames from spreading.
This unique product offers extraordinary fire retarding
capability of any Class A surface with no flame spread and
also inhibits hydrocarbon smoke development.
FIRE BLOCK works to actually form a thermal insulation barrier
to prevent flames from spreading. This unique thermal
insulation barrier factor is attributed to the unique cooling
characteristic of the product.
Application: Spray on or soak any Class A type surface (i.e.
wood, cotton, paper, furnishings, etc.). Allow product to
completely penetrate surface/material and let dry completely.
ASTM-E84 tested.
Available in 5 and 55 gallon drums.
Also available in 32 oz. pump bottles.
Portable
extinguishers:
COLD FIRE® can be
used in 2.5 gallon water extinguishing units for first
response. One quart of COLD FIRE is added to 8 quarts of water
to equal a 10% solution. Alway add COLD FIRE® last to the
mixture! Unit should be pressurized to 125 psi. A aerated
nozzle is recommended.
COLD FIRE® can also be used in closed loop systems, sprinkler
systems, and on-board systems for automobile, motorized racing,
aviation, rail and boating industries.

Cold Fire has been tested in accordance with NFPA Standard 18
for Wetting Agents.
How does Cold Fire work?
To understand how Cold Fire work, you must first understand
the basic structure of fire. In order for a fire to be created,
three components are necessary, fuel, oxygen, and heat. These
three components form what is called a "fire triangle."
Most agents extinguish fires by breaking down one leg of the
fire triangle, heat and fuel. Cold Fire is considered to have
6 times the penetrating capability of water. This
characteristic, coupled with its extraordinary capability to
absorb heat, allows Cold Fire to penetrate a fire faster,
absorb the heat, and bring the fuel source generating the fire
under its flash point more quickly. Cold Fire also works to
encapsulate the fuel source and its vapors and simultaneously
begins to break down the molecular structure of the
hydrocarbon fuel source preventing re-ignition.
Is Cold Fire a Foam?
No. Cold Fire is a unique wetting agent that when applied
breaks the chemical chain reaction of fire. Cold Fire works to
encapsulate the fuel source and eliminate the heat of a fire.
By encapsulating the fuel source, the vapors of the fuel can
no longer be vaporized to cause re-ignition. Foam works to
"blanket"/smother the fuel source and works to
eliminate the oxygen of a fire. It does not encapsulate or
cool the source. Cold Fire is advantageous in comparison to
AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) because if the foam blanket
of a AFFF is disrupted the vapor of the fuel underneath the
blanket can easily re-ignite.
Other advantages to Foam
Cold Fire is non-toxic and non-corrosive. Foam is a toxic and
corrosive. Cold Fire can be dumped directly into booster tanks
or inducted without fear of clogging lines corrosion of hoses
and tanks. When using foam lines need to be flushed out. Foam
is also not a good agent for fighting vertical fires because
it has minimal if no penetration value to penetrate and
extinguish a fire faster. Cold Fire has 6 to 10 times the
penetration capacity of water, extinguishing and cooling a
surface 6 to 10 times faster than water. Cold Fire is also
non-slip and does not leave a reside.
AFFF is a Class B foam. There are also many Class A foams on
the market. Many fire departments purchase both Class A and B
foams. Cold Fire allows fire departments to purchase only one
product. Cold Fire extinguishes both Class A and B fires. By
purchasing Cold Fire, Fire Departments will save money and
time as they will no longer need to : purchase two products
and flush out lines or tanks due to fear of clogging and
corrosion.
On what classes of fire can Cold Fire
be used?
Class A; Wood, tires, brush, forest, structures, textiles,
etc.
Class B: Vehicles, oil, gasoline, diesel, alcohol
Class D: Metals, such as magnesium, aluminum, & Titanium.
What percentage of Cold Fire is used
to extinguish the above classes of fire?:
Class A: use 1-3% of Cold Fire (ex. 500 gallons at 3%=15
gallons of Cold Fire.
Class B: use 3-6% of Cold Fire (ex. 500 gallons at 6%=30
gallons of Cold Fire.
Class D: use 6-10% of Cold Fire (ex. 500 gallons at 10%=50
gallons of Cold Fire.
What are the advantages of using Cold
Fire in place of other agents?
Cold Fire is environmentally friendly, 100% biodegradable,
non-toxic and non-corrosive.
Cold Fire reduces the density of hydrocarbon smoke, thereby
increasing visibility.
Cold Fire’s unique rapid cooling capability enhances safety.
Cold Fire’s rapid cooling effect reduces the chances of
flashover.
The shelf life of Cold Fire is indefinite as long as it is
stored in closed containers between 28°F and 120°F.
Cold Fire can be added directly into your booster tank. Cold
Fire is non-corrosive and 100% soluble. It will not corrode
your equipment or clog your hose lines.
Cold Fire is non-slip.
What is the advantage of using Cold
Fire in place of water alone?
Cold Fire is significantly more efficient than water alone. It
enhances the water’s ability to penetrate the source of the
fire; thereby extinguishing the fire with significantly less
water and reducing the amount of water damage.
Cold Fire greatly enhances the waters ability to absorb heat,
allowing fire fighters to gain entry into a structure or room
much faster.
Cold Fire absorbs British Thermal Units (BTU’s) three times
faster than water alone, thereby extinguishing the fire three
times faster.
How is Cold Fire sold?
Cold Fire is sold in 5 and 55 gallon drums for fire
departments, commercial and industrial applications. Cold Fire
is also sold in 12 oz. spray cans and 32 oz. spray bottles for
trade, tool, racing applications.
Does the use of Cold Fire require
specialized equipment?
No. Cold Fire can be dumped directly into your booster tank or
can easily be inducted. No special equipment is required.
