Purpose & Mechanism of Action

NOT JUST THE FLAME, THE ENTIRE FIRE IS TARGETED

Conventional fire suppression methods primarily focus on extinguishing visible flames. 3-F combines fire suppression, rapid cooling and protective action against reignition within the same intervention process.

Purpose of Application

NOT JUST TO SUPPRESS THE FIRE, BUT TO BRING IT UNDER CONTROL

In fire intervention, making the visible flame disappear is not enough. As long as high temperatures remain, the risks of reignition, fire spread to surrounding materials and repeated intervention continue.

3-F is designed to address different stages of the fire simultaneously, supporting a faster, more controlled and more sustainable intervention process.

Limits Flame Spread

Helps control the growth of the fire and limit its spread to surrounding combustible surfaces.

Reduces Heat Load

Designed to rapidly reduce surface and ambient temperatures following flame suppression.

Reduces Reignition Risk

Helps reduce the risk of renewed combustion through the protective effect formed on the treated surface.

Reduces Intervention Time

Combining suppression and cooling within the same intervention may reduce the need for additional operations.

Three-Stage Action

HOW DOES 3-F WORK?

The product's action consists of three complementary stages: flame control, rapid cooling and protective barrier formation.

01

First Action

SUPPRESSES THE FLAME

When applied to the fire zone, the product comes into contact with the burning surface, helps restrict the combustion process and supports bringing the fire under control.

  • Rapid initial intervention
  • Limitation of flame spread
  • Direct contact with the burning surface
02

Second Action

REDUCES TEMPERATURE

As the flames are suppressed, the process also targets the reduction of high surface temperatures. This helps control the heat load that could otherwise contribute to reignition.

  • Simultaneous suppression and cooling
  • Limitation of heat transfer
  • Reduced need for repeated intervention
03

Third Action

CREATES A BARRIER

The protective layer formed on the treated surface helps increase resistance against renewed flame exposure and contributes to reducing the risk of reignition.

  • Protective surface effect
  • Reignition control
  • Preventive application capability

The Difference in Intervention

WHEN THE FLAME IS OUT, THE RISK MAY STILL REMAIN

Conventional Approach

FLAME SUPPRESSION

Visible flames are extinguished

However, high temperatures may remain on the surface.

Additional cooling may be required

Intervention may need to continue with additional equipment or applications.

Reignition risk may remain

Renewed combustion can occur as long as heat and combustible surface conditions remain.

3-F

Next-Generation Approach

TRIPLE ACTION

Flames are brought under control

Initial intervention is performed while limiting the spread of the fire.

Temperature is reduced simultaneously

Suppression and cooling take place within the same operation.

A protective barrier effect is formed

The treated surface gains additional resistance against reignition.

Application Process

INTERVENTION PROCESS

The appropriate product concentration and equipment selection should be determined according to the fire type and application conditions.

01

ASSESS THE RISK

Fire class, combustible material, temperature and site conditions are evaluated.

02

DETERMINE THE RATIO

The appropriate concentration is selected according to suppression, cooling or barrier application requirements.

03

APPLY THE PRODUCT

The product is applied to the fire zone or the surface requiring protection using suitable intervention equipment.

04

MONITOR THE AREA

Temperature, reignition risk and the protective effect on the treated surface are monitored.

Technical Assessment

THE RIGHT APPLICATION DELIVERS THE RIGHT RESULT

Product performance may vary depending on fire class, concentration, intervention equipment, surface characteristics and environmental conditions. A technical assessment should be carried out before application.
