Firestryker is a manual, portable aerosol inhibitor with remarkable extinguishing capability. It has very low toxicity and is environmentally safe. The device is a small, compact, lightweight cylinder: the upper part of the device is a metal tube containing the extinguishing charge. The lower part of the device is composed of plastic and serves as a support handle.
The use of a potassium powder jet – a unique method among fire extinguishers – involves the vaporization of the powder in the environment followed by the condensation of its extinguishing substance. The product works by interrupting a fire’s chain of reaction (the “autocatalyst” of the fire). The device is composed of stable, solid minerals; it does not contain gas and is not pressurized. The aerosollike jet is only produced when the charger is stricken with its base. The produced aerosol jet is essentially an inert salt that emits gas already present in the atmosphere.
This process allows Firestryker to extinguish all types of fires through saturation. Its slow biodegradation in the environment furthers the prevention of subsequent fires. The extinguishing process involves two different reactions: one is physical and the other, chemical. The physical reaction relates to potassium’s tendency to oxidize rapidly in air. When in contact with air, alkaline salts consume great quantities of oxygen, thus depriving fires of oxygen. The chemical reaction is created through the stable link between potassium particles and the fire’s combustion particles. Through the two reactions, a quick oxidation process takes place, immediately transforming the jet from a solid state into a gaseous state which frees the potassium particles. These atoms are able to intercept and interrupt any other free particles produced by the fire’s chain reaction combustion process. Potassium has strong inhibitor qualities, due to its weak ionization energies.

What is Firestryker?
Firestryker is an innovative portable extinguishing device with remarkable extinguishing capacity, designed to aid in the suppression of incipient fires and for use as a personal protection device.
Firestryker is a simple and easy way to ensure that you are prepared in the event of a fire in your home, office or vehicle. Small and lightweight, Firestryker is environmentally friendly and can be safely stored for easy access in an emergency, preventing the fire from getting out of hand.
Is the unit pressurized?
The unit is NOT pressurized prior to activation. When activated, a controlled burning reaction of the solid aerosol forming compound inside the Firestryker converts the solid to an aerosol composed of carrier gases (primarily nitrogen and small amounts of water vapor) and ultra-fine particulate (potassium compounds in the 2/4 micron range).
What are the main components of the extinguishing charge?
The compound of the extinguishing charge is made of a mixture of Potassium Nitrate, Dicyandiamide, and an organic binder.
The main component is Potassium Nitrate: when it breaks down in the combustion it forms free radicals of Potassium (K+) which attach themselves to Oxygen (O2) that feeds the fire, thus forming Potassium Oxide (K2O) and interrupting therefore the combustion.
The other components of the compound are inert and non-dangerous, and they resolve in Nitrogen, mostly water vapor and only is a small part Carbon dioxide (1%).
Once polymerized, the extinguishing charge is very stable and it ignites only when it reaches a temperature of 380/400°C. At lower temperatures the extinguishing charge is absolutely inert.
Does it explode?
No, the unit remains fully intact and sends out an aerosol stream.
The non-explosiveness of the Firestryker aerosol fire suppressant is officially recognized, value binding, and has a European validity by the Italian Ministerial Decree 04/04/1973 by Homeland Security 557/PAS.7317-XV.J.(3766) (Prevention and monitoring, possession of illegal fireworks and classified as non-exploding), in conformity with Ministerial Decree D.M. 4.4.1973 (G.U. n. 120 dated 10.5.1973) further to the advice by the Advisory Committee for Weapons Control as well as by the Prefecture in Turin, Italy.
Is the device dangerous during transportation/shipment?
The two components necessary for the ignition of the FSS are placed on opposite ends of the device, rendering accidental ignition during transport and storage impossible.
The activation is produced by a lighter made up of two elements, situated on opposite extremes of the product. The potassium based first element is located in the upper extreme of the article; the second element is located in the inner extreme of the article and is composed of a rubbing head situated on the phosphorous based extractable plug: (i.e. the first component, a dry round area, is protected by a protection cap, and is at the top of the product; the second component, inserted as a cap in the handle is a scratchable head piece –igniter- made out of phosphorous).
When Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) reacts with the fire it converts into which chemical/gas?
The aerosol that comes out of the tubular casing, generated by the breakdown of the extinguishing charge containing Potassium Nitrate, reacts with the fire and the flames, the Potassium radicals K+ capture the Oxygen of the combustion, therefore depriving fire from Oxygen and extinguishing it.
Which gases are discharged in the atmosphere after extinguishing the fire?
At the end of the extinguishing process the following is freed/discharged to the atmosphere:
-As a solid: particles of Potassium (that have reacted with the Oxygen of the fire) having a granulometry between 2/4 microns (these particles are invisible at sight, heavier than air; they disperse in the air and tend to deposit on the ground).
-As a gas: as Nitrogen, an inert gas already present in the air we breathe at more or less 78%.
-As water vapor and in minimum part as Carbon dioxide (1%).
What is the chemical reaction after reacting with the oxygen, heat etc.?
The chemical reaction is well represented by the following graphics:
Stage 1: fire is initiated by the flame chain carriers’ O, H and OH
Stage 2: the aerosol introduces potassium radicals (K) into the flame chain reaction
Stage 3: K radicals attach themselves to O, H and OH and Remove them from the flame reaction without depleting surrounding oxygen.
Does it deplete the oxygen in the room?
No, there is no oxygen reduction or depletion. The Firestryker stops fire by interfering with the chemistry underlying fire, not by changing the atmosphere.
What is the discharge time of the Firestryker?
The Discharge time is 100 seconds.
Is it safe for the environment?
Yes. Firestryker has no global warming potential and no ozone depletion potential.
Does the Firestryker have maintenance costs?
No, maintenance costs related to the aerosol extinguishing devices are none.
HANDLING / STORAGE PARAMETERS
Normal attention in handling.
In case of unintentional activation of the fire suppressant, wait for the complete aerosol discharge and ventilate the area.
Avoid the direct contact of the product with open flames.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in an environment between -10°C and +80°C (+14°F and +176°F).
Avoid shock, electric currents, static discharge, excessive heat and extended periods of storage at temperature greater than 65° C.
Packaging in cardboard boxes; do not pile the boxes higher than 2 mt.
Medical attention is unnecessary.
