I guess it works on more than just metal fires.

I talked to the marketing rep. And discovered that purchase of this stuff isn't out of reach for a small guy. If true a class c extinguisher for lithium fire is $1500 (haven't verified). This stuff is a fraction of the cost.

To fight one lithium cell fire, 10 oz of stuff for 2.5 gallon of water. 3℅ concentration. For a cell pack on car he said they successfully used a 1℅ mixed with 130 gallon of water. They really wish to target firefighters.

I think they want distributors. I recall a fifty unit purchase.

$150 for a five, retail. I am guessing shipping and tax extra.

Antioxidant, sounds healthy.

Oh man, I was wondering who stole my 1990 Handycam!

So, you think it could be 90s tech? I was thinking 1970s. Probably, expensive to redo these shots.

Makes one wonder how long they have had the stuff. Currently have no idea of its history, and competition, if any. Need the word , opinion, of a few fire chiefs and chemists.

The video reminds me if the old reel to reel projector films of the 70s warning of how our food supply would run out by 1990.
