Abstract
A Class D (combustible metals) firefighting agent comprises a detergent mixture, and sodium chloride (about 4.5-12%), although vitamin B-6 and bicarbonate soda may be present. The detergent mixture comprises an alkylbenzolyate sulfonate, non-ionic detergent and lauric superamide, preferably comprising, by volume: about 26-33% linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, about 4.5-6% isoctylphenyl polyethoxyethanol, about 0.25-3% polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, about 4.5-6% lauric diethanolamide, about 0.25-2% monoethanolamide superamides, and water. Burning titanium, uranium, magnesium, zerconium, or any other type of combustible metal fire, can be extinguished by applying the liquid formulation directly to the fire using conventional firefighting equipment.
