The Evolution of Fire Suppression

For decades, extinguishing fires meant either dumping gallons of water—causing catastrophic structural and inventory water damage—or discharging chemical powders that leave messy, corrosive residues. Today, Water Mist Technology represents one of the most significant breakthroughs in modern fire protection engineering.

How Does Water Mist Work?

Unlike conventional water extinguishers that shoot large water streams, AUREX Stainless Steel Water Mist Extinguishers utilize a specialized supersonic nozzle that breaks de-ionized water into billions of microscopic droplets (less than 100 microns in diameter).

• Massive Heat Absorption: Micro-droplets increase the surface area of water by thousands of times, converting into steam instantaneously and absorbing heat 40 times faster than conventional water streams.
• Localized Oxygen Displacement: As droplets evaporate into steam at the flame base, steam expands and gently blankets the combustion zone, starving the fire of oxygen.
• Zero Thermal Shock: The gentle mist cools equipment rapidly without causing sudden mechanical cracking from icy gases.

Why Water Mist is Safe on Electrical Fires (Class C)

Pure water does not conduct electricity—impurities and dissolved salts in tap water do. AUREX Water Mist cylinders use de-ionized water and discharge it as a discontinuous cloud of tiny separated droplets. Because there is no continuous liquid stream, it does not conduct electrical currents, making it safe for use around electrical apparatus up to 1000V from a 1-meter distance (dielectrically tested).

Key Advantages for Clean and Sensitive Facilities

• 100% Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic: Zero chemical agents, zero ozone depletion potential, and 100% safe to breathe for humans and animals.
• Minimal Water Residue: Most of the microscopic mist evaporates on contact, leaving floors and valuable materials virtually dry.
• Ideal for Museums, Hospitals, & Hotels: Protects art collections, archive documents, healthcare equipment, and luxury hospitality venues without collateral contamination.
