How a Sticker Pro condensed aerosol fire extinguishing system works
Sticker Pro – Ecofriendly automatic fire extinguishing system using condensed aerosols
How the extinguishing agent in the Sticker Pro automatic condensed aerosol fire-extinguishing system works
The Sticker Pro automatic extinguishing system incorporates a solid extinguishing agent in the form of a condensed aerosol (see photo). This agent is activated by a non-pressurized device, guaranteeing optimum effectiveness.
All Sticker Pro condensed aerosol sprinkler systems are self-activating. Each mini extinguisher is equipped with pyrotechnic thermal detection cables. As soon as the temperature reaches 160°C, or in the event of contact with a flame, the extinguishing system is activated.
Perforations on the envelope are designed to ensure controlled and efficient distribution of the extinguishing aerosol.

Sticker Pro uses a thermal action to initiate the chemical transformation of the solid extinguishing compound.
Once activated, the solid compound undergoes transformation into a rapidly expanding fire-extinguishing aerosol. As the aerosol transforms into a gas, it expands rapidly and tends to escape. In addition, strategically positioned nozzles regulate the distribution of the extinguishing agent. Finally, the interaction of the aerosol with our chemical formulation enables the fire to be extinguished in the protected area.
Extinguishing principle of our Sticker Pro automatic condensed aerosol extinguishing system
The aerosol generated does not inhibit fires by smothering (oxygen removal) or cooling methods. In fact, aerosol interrupts the combustion reaction at a molecular level (by binding free radicals) without influencing oxygen concentrations. In this respect,
aerosol consists of microscopic particles suspended in a gaseous medium. As a result, the surface-to-mass ratio of these particles is extremely high, minimizing the amount of active substance required for extinction.
The particles remain in suspension for a relatively long period. In other words, this allows them to flow into natural convection currents. This helps to improve the effectiveness of the extinguishing agent.
Extinguishing action of our condensed aerosol
Our automatic condensed aerosol fire extinguishing system emits a powerful extinguishing aerosol through a chemical chain reaction, while maintaining oxygen levels in the environment. Extinguishing is activated by two actions: physical and chemical.
-
Physical actionExtinction depends on the properties of the elements. These require little energy to ionize, which frees electrons from the atoms. This energy comes from the heat of fire. When potassium ionizes, the flame takes on a slight violet hue. This shows that the heat of the flame decreases according to the ionization voltage of the elements present.

Chemical action
During combustion, unstable atoms and radicals react rapidly, creating chain reactions. These radicals then seek a stable state through further reactions. Stable end products include carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Potassium is transformed into potassium hydroxide (KOH), a very stable compound. It then decomposes into K2CO3, a stable white substance that is non-corrosive to humans and animals. At this point, the chain of free radical reactions stops and the flame goes out.
