WHO SAID “WATER IS CHEAP”?TRY IT ON COMPUTER ROOM FIRES!Kidde's capability in the fire protection field extends overa wide spectrum from detection systems andcomponents to portable extinguishers and engineeredfire protection systems using the most effective agent tosolve a particular protection problem. For over SIXTYYEARS, Kidde has been a leader in the development of:DETECTIONContinuous StripRate-of-riseFixed TemperaturePneumaticProducts of CombustionPhotoelectricUltra VioletEXTINGUISHING SystemsHalon 1301Carbon DioxideDry ChemicalHi-Ex FoamSince the late 1940's Kidde has engineered andproduced systems utilizing Halon 1301 for commercial,industrial and aerospace applications. Approximately75% of the commercial aircraft in the free world utilizefixed Halon extinguishing systems for engine protection.TYPES OF HAZARDSA safe and effective fire extinguishing agent, Halon 1301is approved and meets the National Fire ProtectionAssociation's (NFPA) Standard 12-A for use againstClass A (stacked paper, wood surfaces, plastic, rubberand other carbonaceous materials), Class B (paint,solvent, grease, gasoline, oil and other flammableliquids), and Class C (electrical) fires. Stored as a liquid,Halon 1301 discharges as an odorless, colorless andnon-conductive gas. Similar in this respect to carbondioxide, Halon 1301 is classified as a "liquefied gas" andon a weight-of-agent basis is considered ONE OF THEMOST EFFECTIVE AGENTS AVAIL ABLE.EFFECTIVENESSExtinguishing agents differ in how they put out fires.Some agents liquids, gas and foams extinguish fires bysmothering, cooling or separating the elements of a fire(such as fuel from oxygen). Halon 1301 extinguishes afire FASTER by chemically "interrupting" the combustionprocess itself. This puts out the fire faster and canprevent further burning or explosion of flammablevapors. ONLY A 5% CONCENTRATION BY VOLUMEIS NEEDED TO STOP MOST FIRES!PERSONNEL SAFETYClassified as the "least toxic" (Group 6) by UnderwritersLaboratories, 1301 provides greater personnel safety.Properly applied, it is the safest gaseous extinguishingagent available. Colorless and odorless, 1301 allowspersonnel to see and breathe permitting them to leavethe fire area safely. The "low toxicity" classificationprovides additional safety by permitting fire protectioncrews to enter the fire area immediately, if necessary.
