The Pyrogen Grenade is the world's first manual fire fighting aerosol grenade.
Developed directly from the successful canisters used for fixed fire suppression systems, Pyrogen Granades are the latest weapon in the war on fire & arson.
The Grenades are activated by pulling a manual pin, which operates a friction device, initiating the combustion process. The grenades then gives up to 10 seconds for the fire fighter to project the unit into the fire. Once activated the canisters release their powerful aerosol gas, which is generated from a stable combustible solid. The aerosol released is proven to be 3 times more effective than Halom, and rapidly knocks down or suppresses the fire.
For small to medium sized fires in confined spaces, such as in skips, basement entrances, engine bays or small portable buildings, one or more grenades is often enough to extinguish the fire. For larger blaze, in more open areas or with deep seated source, Pyrogen Grenades will knock down the fire, allowing fire fighters the ability to move in safely and quickly with conventional extinguishing media delivery systems.
As a proven low toxic alternative to Halon, its portability gives it another invaluable attribute - as an arson deterrent.
Pyrogen Grenades have been supplied to a number of Coast Guard Agency and waterways Police Authorities to protect personnel and property during raids and arrests.
The milky white aerosol gas not only prevents destruction of valuable evidence, but by disorientating any aggressive suspects, potentially dangerous situations can be rapidly controlled. the aerosol is easily dispersed and leaves little or no residue.
