What is Wet Water (3 Function)
This is a specially developed product to extinguish and cool the fire fast and to stop the spread of fire quickly.
It covers the surface area in molecular environment to protect from the external effects. Since the product gives full capsulation and protection to the surface applied and the effect and the interest of the product can be lead according to the intention, it has a wide area to be applied.
There is no hydro bromic acid and hydro chlorine carbon output during the application. However, it absorbs and protects from the possible damages because it disrupts the hydrocarbon molecular structure. It does not create a corrosive effect on the skin pH balance when it is used. In this respect, it has shown an outstanding feature in the use and application. The MSDS, ACGIH, OSHA and NIOSH documents are available for the product.
The product shows 3-stage effect
1st stage, since it is wetter and damper than water, it shows sudden extinguishing effect on flame.
2nd stage, compared with water, the higher wetness and moisture stops the evaporation. It cools quickly because it keeps longer on the applied surface.
3rd stage, it sticks on the surface so that it covers and blocks the surface from flames for further fire. It does not transmit the flames.
It is superior to all other fire extinguishers and fire-control systems in terms of its other features. The firebreak function in the system is a structure with high humidity. It has 10 years of life in a closed environment. It does not give damage to its container and it does not create corrosion. It protects the container against corrosion. Storage can be done in any required environment. Long-term storage can be made. With its corrosion protection feature, it does not constitute any danger on the mechanical devices and the materials which located in fire sensitive areas where valuable materials and machinery are equipped.
This system which protects the applied surface molecularly is specially developed by MG TECHNOLOGY for ALPHA FIRES. It is the latest 21st century technology that is achieved in this field. This invention will allow more rapid progression of extinguishing the fire both in our country and other countries.
It quickly extinguishes the flames because it contains a greater amount of moisture than the number of molecules in the water during the application. It cools faster than water because it has higher temperature of evaporation. It adheres to the object it is applied. Due to this adhesion, it creates a layer that covers the surface molecularly. It stops the progression of flames and extinguishes the fire with this feature. This product will open a new era for the fire brigades and the fire extinguishers in the forest fires or anything related to the fire sector.
MG TECHNOLOGY used only the local knowledge and capital to invent this product. It has received higher results than the standards in the application in various sectors of the domestic market. MG TECHNOLOHY is experiencing the joy and happiness of presenting this product to the world market as a national project.
WHAT IS THE 21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGY 3F ® (Wet Water)?
It is a product specially developed by Turkish engineers in 1/20 concentration and in powder form to stop fire extinguishing and flame spread. It is the only product in the world for rapid fire extinguishing, both with cooling and stopping the fire spreading at the same time.
* It provides 5 times more moisture (wetness) than water. It is 5 times less volatile compared to water. It can extinguish the fire and the flames 5 times faster than water with this feature. The only reason for the increase in the spread of the fire is the lack of moisture. With this product, the extinguishing process is carried out by giving excessive moisture (more than water) to the applied object.
* The feature of sticking to the applied objects or vegetation: Wet Water 3-F ® provides protection from the flames by adhering to the surface of the object or vegetation fully. As a result of this feature, after the application, it is impossible to get the flames again to the extinguished vegetation for any reason.
* It stops the flame spread and advancement: The most obvious and visible effect of Wet Water 3-F ® is to stop progression of the flame on the applied object or vegetation. The structure homogenized in the product's content makes the surface moist by working at the molecular environment. As a result of contact of the surface of the applied object and the high heat flames it releases out the water molecules. The moisture formed in the release of the water molecules continues from 70 °C to 1800 °C on the object or the vegetation.
* It’s damage to the environment and people: Wet Water 3-F ® product is formulated as specially targeted liquid solution; therefore it is not classified as dangerous for both the environment and the human health. However, it has a feature of healing the soil cover which is burnt.
The application and the usage: Wet Water 3-F ® is the only product that can get an ultimate result to extinguish the fire and to stop the spread of fire. There is always a risk in controlling the growth of any fire. It is possible to eliminate the risk by applying the Wet Water product in the first respond, creating barriers, extinguishing and cooling operations.
In the ALPHA (CLASS A) fires, which The Forestry and Fire Brigade organizations respond first, the CONCENTRATED POWDER form of the product will allow achieving high performance to succeed for high and rapid cooling during the intensive heavy fighting.
THE EFFECT MECHANISM: It shows a three-stage effect. 1. EXTINGUISHING: The active substance content in 3-F contains a high proportion of water molecules in the core molar mass. The core water molecules reveals when faced with the high temperature. This allows getting a high rate of moisture and humidity. Especially when applied to over 700 ° C burning object, it decomposes and forms a crust to stop the connection to the oxygen. As a result by applying directly to the flames, the fire extinguished in a very short time (2-3 cycles). In addition, being heavier than water makes the 3-F stronger and more effective.
- STOPPING: The product adheres to grip the applied object by its molecular structure. As a result, it creates a layer that covers the surface by encapsulating molecularly. Moreover, when it faces with the high temperature, it carbonizes and does not catch fire. In this way it creates an excellent barrier against fire.
- COOLING: As it is known, after the fire extinguishing operation is carried out cooling starts. Since the 3-F product is wetter than water (with the release of water molecules against the heat), it keeps the applied surface moisturized. It is 5 times more effective than water, so that it stays longer on the applied object. After 30 seconds it is possible to keep the applied object with bare hands. (See: Physical properties and chemical properties)
PRODUCT PROPERTIES:
- It is a solution created specifically by the active ingredients resistant against the flames in high temperature (1000-2000 °C).
- During the application of the product to the objects, there is no hydro bromic acid (HBr) and hydro chlorine carbon (HCC) output. In contrast, it shreds and destroys the possible damages because it disrupts the hydrocarbon molecule structure.
- It is possible to apply the product with different methods and equipment; impregnation, application, pulverizing, impregnation under pressure, squirting by pressure, pouring, application with fire extinguisher, etc.
- It is possible for long-term storage. The 3-F Powder is in 25 kg bags, and it has 2 years of life in a closed environment if kept away from damp.
- It does not give damage to its container. It does not create corrosion. It can be rinsed with water and it does not leave any waste.
During and after the application, the active substances in its does not do any ecotoxicological harm to human or nature. It carries all the guidelines according to the Ministry of Environment, General Directorate of Environmental Pollution Prevention and Control Management of Chemicals, 20 April 2001 date and 24379 numbered regulation legislation, Ministry of Environment and Forestry General Directorate of Environmental Management of Chemicals classification and labelling guidelines determined by the presidential Office.
- It stops burning and prevents the progression by decomposing when it has a sudden contact to high temperature and the burning objects. This formation affects quickly to cool the fire. (None of the carbonized object that is activated by ion change can provide no further burning process.)
- Because of the Polyol compounds, it carries the hygroscopic influence. Its compatibility with other substances in the components creates a mechanism that increases the wetness of water molecules bound in content and reduces the evaporation rate against high temperatures in the process of humidification and application by partial hydrolysis. By the effect of the high molecular water, it cools the burning object in a maximum of 30 seconds. It does not require an additional cooling with water.
It is an advanced technology product. It provides a new benefit to the fire-fighting systems. It is the only product that has extinguishing, stopping and cooling feature. It creates strong hydrogen bonds with water molecules (which compete with water) with a kosmotrope structure in which active components are non-iconic. Whereby, a 3-effect structure is formed.
- It plays a very effective role especially in the fires that are unstoppable and cannot be extinguished.
- The 3-F product is the only powder form which can be mixed with water at a rate of 1/20 provides quick extinguishing, quick stopping and quick cooling in fire and fire fighting.
MATERIALS USED IN FIRE FIGHTING AND FLAME SPREAD PREVENTION
Many objects (wood, paper, epoxy paint, lacquer polish products, vinyl esters, various insulation materials, sponge, textiles, mats, car upholstery, carpets, curtains, etc.)we use in everyday life are not resistant to burning because of their characteristics of chemical structure.
Nonflammability provider materials used to increase the combustion resistance of the object:
1-WATER: It is preferred because it is cheap for extinguishing the flames. It is effective in weak flames which have just started and in cooling phase. However, its effect on high temperature flames is weak. (It evaporates in 100 C) If the burning object is completely inextinguishable on the applied surface, the flames rises again in a few minutes, the burning process takes its original form and continues to increase. Thus, it cannot be prevented the growth and the progress of the fire and destroy the large areas. Under the standards of TS 862 EN -7 EN 3-7 A 1, the researches of 5A fires showed that the same application which applied 5 times with the same amount of water did not stop the fire. However, it began burning again each time.
2-FOAM: It is used only for extinguishing. It does not stop, cool or create a barrier in front of the flames. Its effect is to cut the contact of the object with the air (oxygen). It is used as mixing with water (%, 3-6 foam main ingredients, 94-97% water). Therefore, it contains very little amount of active substance. They have got lighter structure than water. In fire fighting conditions especially in the windy areas and the situations that require remote intervention, it is inadequate because of the wind blowing. It cannot be used with air vehicles in interventions of extinguishing the fire. Especially in forest fires and open area fires, it cannot cover the object %100. This causes the flame to rise again from the place which foam is not reached. Also it dries in high temperature and loses its effect.
3 FUNCTIONAL FIRE FIGHTING FOR FORESTRY AND FIRE BRIGADES ORGANISATIONS PRODUCT OF PERFORMANCE
It is specially produced as a concentrate powder product to extinguish and cool the fire fast and to stop the spread of fire quickly. It is the first product for fire fighting which is produced locally in Turkey and has TSE certificate in the scope of EU’s TS 862-7 EN 3_7 +A 1 standards for A CLASS FIRE for WATER BASED extinguishers. It is provided 16 times beneficial more than water by making it heat resistant by increasing the amount of the moisture in the molecular structure, which is the extinguishing effect of the water, for the purpose of providing more effective and less time consuming in Alpha fires for Forestry Organisations and Fire brigades. In this way a drop of water falling on one millimetre acts as 16 drops. When water’s molar mass is 18,02 g/ mol−1, the 3-F product’s molar mass is bigger than >288,15 g/mol. 3 F product is produced in liquid form, but with the aim of practicality in use, application, storage and shipment it is transformed into concentrate “POWDER” 1/20 times miscible with water.
In this way, it can be used easily in sprinklers, pick-up vehicles, fire pools and appropriate air vehicles in forestry and fire brigades organizations for extinguishing, cooling and stopping the spread of fire. 3 F powder products are very practical to use. When it is put into a container, it does not need a mixture or to be stirred. It melts and dissolves itself. Concentration is 1 proportion to 20 proportions of water. This means putting 300 kg of powder products into a 6-ton capacity sprinkler. Thus, 6 ton capacity FAST EXTINGUISHER, FAST COOLER and SPREAD STOPPER liquid is obtained.
