Corn-starch based fire suppressant wins OK from fire chiefs

In Minnesota, TetraKO, maker of a cornstarch based fire suppressant, reports that Technology Council of the International Association of Fire Chiefs have published a white paper on their product.  Based on two days of testing, the fire knockdown tests demonstrated that TetraKO yielded a significant advantage over water and foam.

TetraKO is also the first fire suppression product to earn the EPA’s Design for the Environment program recognition under the new Industrial/Institutional product category “Fire Fighting Product”, satisfying the need for a highly effective, and environmentally safe fire suppression alternative.
