How does AF-X Fireblocker work? Blocks fire with a solid bound compound, upon the system’s activation the compound is transformed into tiny aerosol particles. These nanoparticles spread with lightning speed through the air like a dry mist. They combine with the so-called ‘free radicals’, the unstable oxygen and hydrogen molecules. This combination of aerosol particles with free radicals blocks the fire reaction. Hence the name AF-X Fireblocker. On top of this process, there is a cooling effect so combustible elements can no longer combine with oxygen.

AF-X Fireblocker (UK) Ltd., is responsible for managing and supporting the distribution of AF-X Fireblocker in the UK through a dedicated and accredited partner programme. All products are designed, developed and manufactured by AF-X International, and third party certified by KIWA testing, inspection and certification to all European and North American standards.
