Citiq Suppression Agent
Citiq suppression agent (“Citiq agent”) is a fluorine free suppression agent, a product of “Encapsulator Technology”, environment friendly and 100% biodegradable.

Its applications vary for the use on Class A, Class B (including 3D fires with pressurized fuel and spill control), Class D and Class F fires. Citiq is nontoxic,

noncorrosive, fluorine free, and 100% biodegradable. No special equipment required to use the product and it can be educted or batch mixed in any apparatus tanks.  

Why Citiq?
· Quick Knockdown: 4-5 times faster and better than plain water
· Rapid Heat Reduction: 6-10 times the cooling power of plain water
· Rapid Smoke Reduction: Dramatically reduces smoke and toxins to increase safety and visibility for firefighters. No more steam burn.
· Fuel Neutralization: Neutralizes hydrocarbon fuels to prevent dangerous rekindles and flare-ups

Surface Tension Reduction
Increases surface coverage and penetrates pores of Class A materials • Facilitates spreading in Class B fuels
Prevents flammable solids from floating on water (coal dust or sawdust)

Enhanced Burn Back Resistance
Penetrates into pores preventing the fire from re-ignition after overhaul 

Reduces Smoke and Soot
Improves ability to locate trapped individuals
Improves firefighters’ ability to see obstacles and hazards • Reduces dangerous toxin hazardsfound in soot

Noncorrosive
No effects on booster tank pumps and plumbing
No special cleaning or maintenance of equipment requirement after use

Applications
FIRE SUPPRESSION

Class A
Excellent for structure, plastics, car, tire, coal and paper fires

Class B -
Polar & Non-polar Solvents
Citiq’s rapid cooling and encapsulation capabilities allow it to simultaneously remove heat from the fire and surrounding structures,

encapsulate the flammable vapors rendering them nonflammable non-ignitable non-explosive.  Works very effectively on 3 dimensional flowing,

spraying liquid fuel fires, foams can not extinguish.  Excellent for all polar solvents such as gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, jet fuel.
Excellent for all non-polar solvents such as ethanol and ethanol-blended fuels

Class D
Rapidly removes the extreme heat from combustible metals
No explosions, like when water is applied
Unsurpassed for extinguishing today’s car fires involving magnesium components
Applicable for lithium, magnesium and titanium shavings and solids.

Class F
Rapidly suppress oil cooking fires.

FUEL NEUTRALIZATION
Spill Control
Neutralizes hydrocarbon fuel spills
A ratio of 1 part Citiq and 40 parts of water will encapsulate 8 parts of flammable liquids, rendering them nonflammable and non-ignitable.
The harmless solution can be left to evaporate or safely cleaned up, depending on local regulations.
Applications include ruptured automobile fuel tanks or tank trucks, train derailments and industrial site spills.

STORED ENERGY
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Reduces flammability of electrolytes
Reduces HF and other toxic gases
Stops Thermal- Runaway
Prevents reignition of batteries once they are extinguished
