Product Description
TetraKO™ next generation water enhancer is a patented firefighting product that sticks to vertical and ceiling surfaces and can be pumped through standard fire equipment. Once applied and exposed to heat, TetraKO converts to steam giving it unmatched knockdown power and longer-lasting suppression.
Testing and live fire incidents with fire departments have shown TetraKO performing up to 30 times more effectively than plain water, and up to 10 times more effectively than foams. It enhances firefighter safety through unmatched knockdown power and reduced rekindling – which allows firefighters to keep a safer distance from danger. And by using far less water, TetraKO reduces the risks associated with collapsed structures.
Manufactured from sustainable ingredients, TetraKO is certified to be biodegradable and non-toxic to water, fish, plants and mammals by separate, accredited independent research organizations.
Key Benefits:
- Enhances Safety: TetraKO’s faster knockdown capability reduces firefighter exposure to flame, heat and toxic fumes. Risk of ceiling collapse is reduced and winter operations are less slippery because less water is used.
- Faster knockdown: By adhering to vertical surfaces and smothering the fire, TetraKO can knockdown fire faster and more effectively than water, traditional Class A foam and compressed air foam (CAF) or gel.
- Effective suppression: TetraKO addresses all planes of the fire tetrahedron by reducing heat and removing the fuel source and oxygen. It’s exponentially more effective than Class A foam and compressed air foam (CAF).
- Reduces rekindling: By adhering to surfaces of any orientation, TetraKO reduces rekindling by providing a blanket of fire protection.
- Reduces water damage: TetraKO curbs firefighting water damage by reducing the amount of water required to extinguish the blaze.
- Earth Friendly: TetraKO’s mixed solution has been certified as “ready biodegradable”, the highest level possible, by an accredited, and independent research lab. TetraKO is also certified to be non-toxic to water, fish, plants and mammals by separate, accredited independent research organizations.
- Easy to Use: TetraKO easily mixes with water. The resulting solution is pumped through standard fire apparatus, hoses and nozzles – including piercing nozzles. No need for costly foam pump or proportioning system.
- Easy Clean Up: To clean tanks and hoses, simply rinse them with water after TetraKO use. There will be no residue.
- Effective in Wildlands: TetraKO clings to trees, bushes and grasses and won’t fall to the ground, and can be applied to wildfires from air, truck or backpack.
