Abstract
A Class D (combustible metals) firefighting agent comprises a detergent mixture, vitamin B-6, sodium chloride, bicarbonate soda, and minimum amounts of water. The detergent mixture comprises an alkylbenzolyate sulfonate, non-ionic detergent and lauric superamide, preferably comprising, by volume: about 41-45% linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, about 8-12% isoctylphenyl polyethoxyethanol, about 0-4% polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, about 8-12% lauric diethanolamide, about 0.5-1% monoethanolamide superamides, and about 26-30% water. The vitamin B-6 is provided in an amount of about 1-3% by weight of the detergent mixture, the sodium chloride 25-41%, and the bicarbonate 3-18%. Burning titanium, uranium, or any other type of combustible metal fire, can be extinguished by applying the liquid formulation directly to the fire.
