NovaCool Extinguishes Magnesium (Class D) Fires



NovaCool UEF (Universal Extinguishing Foam) is ideally suited for putting out car fires. NovaCool does extinguish Class D Fires - the ones involving metals that burn, such as magnesium, found in many car engines or blocks. Magnesium, in particular, spatters like crazy when hit with water.  Think about a road flare.  They are powered by magnesium.  If  you've ever watched one of them burn, you get the idea of how hot they burn and how they can sputter or splatter.
Here is a video provided by Flame Management International under whom we operate.
