Commercial Kitchen Wet Chemical Suppression System

FirePause Commercial Kitchen Wet Chemical Suppression System

The FirePause Kitchen Wet Chemical Suppression System is a fixed, pre-engineered suppression solution specifically designed to protect commercial cooking equipment – deep fryers, grills, woks, and range hoods – from Class F (cooking oil) fires. The potassium-acetate based wet chemical agent rapidly saponifies burning oil, forming a soapy foam blanket that seals the oil surface and prevents re-ignition.
