Pyromet is designed for Class D fires involving metals

Burning magnesium

Pyromet

This specialist powder extinguisher is designed to tackle fires involving combustible metals such as lithium, magnesium, sodium or aluminium.

This extinguisher uses a graphite powder base that works by:

• insulating the metal to prevent access to other combustible material nearby
• smothering the fire to prevent oxygen from the atmosphere reacting with the metal

Features

• Capable of fighting class D fires involving metals like lithium,magnesium, sodium or aluminium.
• Lance enables the user to tackle fire at a safe distance.
• Low velocity applicator to reduce the energy of the jet allowing the powder to gently smother the surface of the burning material thus avoiding scattering of high temperature particles and stimulating the formation of an air- excluding crust.
• Stored pressure with user friendly gauge.

Please note: The method of application is completely different from a standard extinguisher and user training is required. Pyromet is not suitable for use on live electrical fires.
