HOW THE FIRE SAFETY STICK WORK
The Fire Safety Stick (FSS) is a manual, portable fire extinguishing
device. It uses a potassium powder jet (a unique method among
conventional fire extinguishers) that employs the vaporisation of the
powder in the environment followed by the condensation of its
extinguishing substance. It works by interrupting a fire's chain of
reaction (the "auto-catalyst" of the fire), effectively extinguishing a
fire without making any mess or removing surrounding oxygen. Fire Safety
Stick is composed of stable, solid minerals; it does not contain gas and
is not pressurised. The aerosol-like jet is only produced when the
charger is struck with its base. The produced aerosol jet is free of
thrust and is essentially an inert salt that emits gas already present
in the atmosphere.
CHEMISTRY BEHIND THE FIRE SAFETY STICK
This process allows the FSS to extinguish all types of fires through saturation. It's slow bio-degradation in the environment furthers the prevention of subsequent fires / re-flash. The extinguishing process involves two different reactions: one is physical and the other, chemical. The physical reaction relates to potassium’s tendency to oxidise rapidly in air. When in contact with air, alkaline salts consume great quantities of oxygen, thus depriving fires of oxygen. The chemical reaction is created through the stable link between potassium particles and the fire’s combustion particles. Through the two reactions, a quick oxidation process takes place, immediately transforming the jet from a solid state into a gaseous state freeing the potassium particles. These atoms are able to intercept and interrupt any other free particles produced by the fire’s natural chain reaction combustion process. Potassium has strong inhibitor qualities due to its weak ionisation energies. The extinguishing agent being used is composed of Potassium Nitrate, organic oxidiser and plasticisers resin. When Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) discharges from the extinguisher it vaporises in the environment followed by the condensation of its extinguishing substance. When it reacts, it brakes down and the gas that is formed is made up primarily of free radicals of Potassium K+, of Nitrogen N (an inert gas) and water vapor. The aerosol that comes out of the unit reacts with the fire. Potassium radicals (K+) attaches itself to the oxygen surrounding the fire robbing its ability to stick to the chain of combustion thereby extinguishing it and preventing a re-flash and all the time not affecting ones ability to breath that oxygen.ODP Ozone Depletion Potential = Zero
