Cold Fire® is a environmentally friendly rapid cooling fire suppressing agent, leading the way in fire fighting technology and revolutionizing the way fire fighters combat
fires!
Cold Fire® gets its name from its extraordinary ability to remove HEAT from any object in which it comes in contact. The suppressants in Cold Fire® act as encapsulators that use water as a catalyst to remove heat and work to encapsulate the fuel source from a fire.

Cold Fire® penetrates a heated surface and instantly cools it down, unlike water alone which converts to heated steam.
Using Cold Fire® enhances safety!
Bulk Applications:
COLD FIRE® is added to pump apparatus, reservoirs, or inducted into fire hose lines to attack large fires.
Application Pressure: Pump - Use 150-175 psi: Nozzle - Use 100-110 psi (fog nozzle is usually
recommended)
Cold fire®
rapid cooldown spray
This product was designed as a safety tool for trade applications. It is used to cool down hot surfaces rapidly. It is an excellent tool for plumbers, welders, roofers, mechanics . all those who work with hot surfaces and open flame. Several members of the motorized racing industry use this handy tool to cool down hot surfaces such as tires and brakes when cars come into the pit area. Available in 12 oz. air powered spray can, this product is light weight and easy to handle. Sprays in any direction, even upside down!
Fire block fire retardant
Developed from the extraorindary life saving and fire fighting Cold Fire, Fire Suppressing Agent, the FIRE BLOCK Fire Retardant is a revolutionary product which retards fires by stopping dangerous flames from spreading.
This unique product offers extraordinary fire retarding capability of any Class A surface with no flame spread and also inhibits hydrocarbon smoke development.
FIRE BLOCK works to actually form a thermal insulation barrier to prevent flames from spreading. This unique thermal insulation barrier factor is attributed to the unique cooling characteristic of the product.
Application: Spray on or soak any Class A type surface (i.e. wood, cotton, paper, furnishings, etc.). Allow product to completely penetrate surface/material and let dry completely.
ASTM-E84 tested.
Available in 5 and 55 gallon drums.
Also available in 32 oz. pump bottles.
Portable extinguishers:
COLD FIRE® can be used in 2.5 gallon water extinguishing units for first response. One quart of COLD FIRE is added to 8 quarts of water to equal a 10% solution. Alway add COLD FIRE® last to the mixture! Unit should be pressurized to 125 psi. A aerated nozzle is recommended.
COLD FIRE® can also be used in closed loop systems, sprinkler systems, and on-board systems for automobile, motorized racing, aviation, rail and boating industries.

Is Cold Fire UL Listed
Yes. Cold Fire is listed as a Class A & B Wetting Agent. Listing #2N75.
Is Cold Fire listed with the NFPA:
Cold Fire has been tested in accordance with NFPA Standard 18 for Wetting
Agents.
How does Cold Fire work?
To understand how Cold Fire work, you must first understand the basic structure of
fire. In order for a fire to be created, three components are necessary,
fuel, oxygen, and heat. These three components form what is called a "fire
triangle." Most agents extinguish fires by breaking down one leg of the fire
triangle, heat and fuel. Cold Fire is considered to have 6 times the penetrating capability of water. This
characteristic, coupled with its extraordinary capability to absorb heat, allows Cold Fire to penetrate a fire
faster, absorb the heat, and bring the fuel source generating the fire under its flash point more
quickly. Cold Fire also works to encapsulate the fuel source and its vapors and simultaneously begins to break down the molecular structure of the hydrocarbon fuel source preventing
re-ignition.
Is Cold Fire a Foam?
No. Cold Fire is a unique wetting agent that when applied breaks the chemical chain reaction of
fire. Cold Fire works to encapsulate the fuel source and eliminate the heat of a
fire. By encapsulating the fuel source, the vapors of the fuel can no longer be vaporized to cause
re-ignition. Foam works to "blanket"/smother the fuel source and works to eliminate the oxygen of a
fire. It does not encapsulate or cool the source. Cold Fire is advantageous in comparison to AFFF
(Aqueous Film Forming Foam) because if the foam blanket of a AFFF is disrupted the vapor of the fuel underneath the blanket can easily
re-ignite.
Other advantages to Foam
Cold Fire is non-toxic and non-corrosive. Foam is a toxic and corrosive. Cold Fire can be dumped directly into booster tanks or inducted without fear of clogging lines corrosion of hoses and
tanks. When using foam lines need to be flushed out. Foam is also not a good agent for fighting vertical fires because it has minimal if no penetration value to penetrate and extinguish a fire
faster. Cold Fire has 6 to 10 times the penetration capacity of water, extinguishing and cooling a surface 6 to 10 times faster than water. Cold Fire is also non-slip and does not leave a
reside.
AFFF is a Class B foam. There are also many Class A foams on the market. Many fire departments purchase both Class A and B
foams. Cold Fire allows fire departments to purchase only one product. Cold Fire extinguishes both Class A and B
fires. By purchasing Cold Fire, Fire Departments will save money and time as they will no longer need to : purchase two products and flush out lines or tanks due to fear of clogging and
corrosion.
On what classes of fire can Cold Fire be used?
Class A; Wood, tires, brush, forest, structures, textiles, etc.
Class B: Vehicles, oil, gasoline, diesel, alcohol
Class D: Metals, such as magnesium, aluminum, & Titanium.
What percentage of Cold Fire is used to extinguish the above classes of fire?:
Class A: use 1-3% of Cold Fire (ex. 500 gallons at 3%=15 gallons of Cold Fire.
Class B: use 3-6% of Cold Fire (ex. 500 gallons at 6%=30 gallons of Cold Fire.
Class D: use 6-10% of Cold Fire (ex. 500 gallons at 10%=50 gallons of Cold
Fire.
What are the advantages of using Cold Fire in place of other agents?
Cold Fire is environmentally friendly, 100% biodegradable, non-toxic and non-corrosive.
Cold Fire reduces the density of hydrocarbon smoke, thereby increasing
visibility.
Cold Fire’s unique rapid cooling capability enhances safety. Cold Fire’s rapid cooling effect reduces the chances of
flashover.
The shelf life of Cold Fire is indefinite as long as it is stored in closed containers between 28°F and
120°F.
Cold Fire can be added directly into your booster tank. Cold Fire is non-corrosive and 100%
soluble. It will not corrode your equipment or clog your hose lines.
Cold Fire is non-slip.
What is the advantage of using Cold Fire in place of water alone?
Cold Fire is significantly more efficient than water alone. It enhances the water’s ability to penetrate the source of the
fire; thereby extinguishing the fire with significantly less water and reducing the amount of water
damage.
Cold Fire greatly enhances the waters ability to absorb heat, allowing fire fighters to gain entry into a structure or room much
faster.
Cold Fire absorbs British Thermal Units (BTU’s) three times faster than water alone, thereby extinguishing the fire three times
faster.
How is Cold Fire sold?
Cold Fire is sold in 5 and 55 gallon drums for fire departments, commercial and industrial
applications. Cold Fire is also sold in 12 oz. spray cans and 32 oz. spray bottles for
trade, tool, racing applications.
Does the use of Cold Fire require specialized equipment?
No. Cold Fire can be dumped directly into your booster tank or can easily be
inducted. No special equipment is required.
