The principle of extinguishing action employed by Pyrogen is unique - a special solid chemical, when electrically or thermally ignited, produces combustion products - micron sized dry particles, (mainly potassium carbonates), and gaseous mixture, (mainly carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapour), mix together into a uniform fire extinguishing aerosol.
Fire is propagated by the 'flame chain carriers' O, H & OH
Pyrogen aerosol introduces potassium radicals (K) into the flame chain reaction
K radicals attach themselves to O, H & OH and remove them from the flame chain without depleting oxygen

Before being released into a protected area. The hot aerosol propels itself through a unique solid chemical coolant, which decomposes absorbing huge amounts of heat, thus ensuring flameless discharge and uniform distribution of the cool aerosol within the area.
The high rate of aerosol discharge ensures a tremendous knock down effect. Micron size aerosol particles exhibit gas-like three-dimensional qualities that allow the agent to rapidly distribute throughout enclosure and reach even the most concealed and shielded locations. Homogenous distribution is achieved in a matter of seconds, while long holding times all help to prevent fire re-ignition.
