• What it is: A specialized potassium carbonate-based wet chemical solution.
• Primary Use: Specifically formulated for commercial kitchen fire suppression systems to control Class K high-temperature cooking oil and grease fires.
• How it works: When discharged through the hood system, the liquid solution knocks down the flames, provides rapid thermal cooling, and reacts with hot grease through a process called saponification. This turns the grease into a soap-like foam blanket that blocks oxygen and prevents dangerous flash re-ignition.
• System Safety Notice: As clearly marked on the label, this liquid charge is meant exclusively for engineered fixed pipe kitchen systems and must not be used to fill portable fire extinguishers.
Chemical Properties & Hazard Profile
• Main Ingredients: Typically consists of a precision-blended solution of greater than 40% Potassium Carbonate (CAS # 584-08-7) mixed with water.
• Safety Considerations: According to the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheets (SDS), the alkaline nature of this chemical solution makes it an irritant to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system upon direct contact. Protective eyewear and gloves should always be worn during system maintenance or cleanup.
