Stat-X utilizes patented condensed aerosol technology that generates an ultra-fine suspension of potassium-based particles upon activation. This aerosol interrupts the chemical chain reaction of the fire at the molecular level, rapidly suppressing flames without depleting oxygen or requiring high pressure. The agent remains suspended in the protected space for several minutes to prevent re-ignition (reflash), then settles as a non-corrosive, easily vented residue with minimal cleanup required.

Available in thermal (heat-activated), electrical, or manual configurations, Stat-X systems are fully self-contained—no piping, pressurized cylinders, or extensive infrastructure needed—making them ideal for space-constrained, remote, or harsh environments.

Key Benefits

Superior effectiveness — Up to 10x more efficient (gram-for-gram) than gaseous alternatives like HFCs or inert gases, and significantly outperforms dry chemicals or water mist in many applications.
Rapid suppression — Detects and extinguishes fires quickly, minimizing damage, downtime, and fire spread.
Compact & modular design — Up to 90% reduction in space and weight compared to traditional systems; perfect for tight enclosures.
Simple, cost-effective installation — No complex piping, pressure vessels, or heavy manpower; dramatically lowers upfront and ongoing costs.
Virtually maintenance-free — Long service life of 15 years (or more in many listings), durable in extreme conditions.
Environmentally sustainable — Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP=0), no global warming potential; EPA SNAP-listed as a Halon 1301 replacement and safe alternative to clean agents or CO2.
Safe for equipment & personnel — Non-conductive, no harm to electronics, sensitive machinery, or occupied spaces at design concentrations; minimal post-discharge residue.
Versatile applications — Protects energy storage systems (BESS/ESS), wind turbine nacelles, electrical cabinets/panels, server rooms, manufacturing equipment, engine compartments, marine vessels, power generation, and more.

Stat-X offers total flooding protection for enclosed volumes, with options for local application or portable First Responder units. Certified and listed (UL, ULC, USCG, and international approvals) for Class A, B, and C fires.

The Fike DuraQuench Pro is an advanced, low-pressure pumped water mist suppression system that delivers powerful fire control while using significantly less water than traditional sprinklers—often up to 75% less. By connecting directly to your facility’s water main, local reservoir, or tank, it provides an unlimited supply of water mist discharge through a reliable, skid-mounted centrifugal pump. Operating at just 175 psi (compared to 1,000–2,000 psi for high-pressure systems), it offers a lower total cost of ownership, greater installation flexibility, and easier maintenance.

FM Approved and compliant with NFPA 750 standards, DuraQuench Pro excels in protecting high-value, mission-critical environments where rapid fire suppression, reduced collateral damage, and minimal downtime are essential. Its single-fluid design produces fine water mist droplets that cool the fire, displace oxygen, and control flames efficiently—without the environmental concerns of chemical agents.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Unlimited discharge duration for extended protection
• Supports multiple zones from a single pump skid for versatile system design
• Compatible with closed-head (pre-action) nozzles for data centers/server rooms and deluge systems for industrial hazards
• Lower pressure allows use of cost-effective piping options (copper, stainless steel, CPVC for light hazards)
• Eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to gaseous systems
• Pre-engineered, pre-piped pump skid for faster installation and reliable performance

Ideal Applications:

• Data centers and server rooms (including subfloor protection)
• Turbine enclosures and large machinery spaces
• Industrial facilities, power generation, and other high-hazard areas
• Environments requiring fast suppression with minimal water damage and cleanup

These innovative, pre-engineered systems use proprietary Firetrace detection tubing—a flexible, patented linear heat and flame sensor—that automatically activates upon exposure to heat or flames. When the tubing bursts at the point of fire, it triggers the release of a fire suppression agent without requiring electricity, manual intervention, or complex electronics. This makes Firetrace ideal for harsh, dusty, or remote environments where traditional systems might fail.

Key Benefits

Rapid response — Detects and suppresses fires in seconds, often faster than electric-based alternatives.
No power required — Fully self-contained and pneumatic operation ensures reliability even during power outages.
Safe and residue-free options — Utilizes clean agents (like FM-200 or FK-5-1-12) that are non-conductive, safe for occupied spaces, electronics, and the environment, or specialized agents like dry chemical powders for specific hazards.
Versatile applications — Protects CNC machines, electrical control panels, server racks, heavy equipment, vehicles, wind turbines, industrial enclosures, and more.
Proven and certified — Third-party tested and approved (e.g., UL, FM) for performance and reliability.

Firetrace offers both direct release (agent discharges through the burst tubing at the fire source) and indirect release (agent flows through separate nozzles to flood the area) configurations, plus engineered total flooding systems for larger spaces.

Protect your critical assets with Firetrace—reliable fire protection that won’t let you down. Contact us for custom solutions tailored to your equipment and risk profile.

This UL-300 listed system uses a proprietary potassium-based liquid extinguishing agent discharged in a fine mist through color-coded nozzles. Upon activation (via fusible links detecting heat in the plenum, duct, or over appliances), the agent rapidly suppresses fires by interrupting the chemical chain reaction of combustion while cooling hot surfaces to prevent re-ignition. It also automatically shuts down fuel sources (gas/electric) for added safety.

The Kitchen Mister stands out for its innovative design: no conduit required in the plenum, only one anchor bracket in the exhaust hood, no corner pulleys, and shielded Listed cable for detection and gas valve lines—making installation simpler, faster, and more cost-effective than many competitors.

Available in cylinder sizes BFR-5, BFR-10, BFR-15, and BFR-20 (designated by flow-point capacity for flexible system scaling), it provides comprehensive coverage for appliances, hoods, and ducts in restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, hospitals, and institutional kitchens.

Key Benefits

Ultra-fast suppression — Extinguishes fires in seconds (e.g., demos show fire out in ~17 seconds), minimizing damage, injury risk, and business interruption.
Superior misting technology — Fine mist provides excellent coverage and cooling; outperforms traditional systems in grease-laden Class K fires.
Easy & economical installation — Eliminates plenum conduit, reduces labor and materials; simple piping and modular components speed setup.
Reliable & low-maintenance — Pre-engineered for consistent performance; complies with NFPA 17A (Wet Chemical Systems) and NFPA 96 (Commercial Cooking); UL-listed, ULC-listed, NYC COA #5550 approved.
Safe & effective — Agent is non-toxic at design levels, leaves minimal residue (easily cleaned), and prevents reflash by saponifying grease.
Versatile protection — Covers fryers, griddles, ranges, broilers, and more; scalable for small to large kitchens.
Proven global choice — Trusted by fire protection professionals worldwide for over 20 years; pairs well with Potter alarm panels for integrated detection/release and Starlink 24-hour monitoring for code-compliant alerting.
