Extinguishing without Gas

AF-X Fireblocker - Environmentally friendly fire extinguishing system

Safe. Harmless to people and the environment.

Originally developed for space travel, the AF-X Fireblocker serves as a built-in fireman and swiftly extinguishes the fire with a dry aerosol. Without water and without gas! Therefore, there will be no fire damage, no water damage and no consequential loss. And it is harmless to man, animals and the environment. So, it is safer, more economical and totally responsible.

Fire extinguishing No Gas

Harmless to people and the environment.

AF-X Fireblocker extinguish without gas, without pressure and without oxygen expulsion. As a result, the deadly risk of suffocation is simply excluded. Safer for people and the environment

Extinguishing at the molecular level.

With conventional systems, an element is removed from the fire triangle. The extinguishing effect of the af-x systems is more intelligent. Outside the fire triangle, the mixing ratios and the catalytic effect also play an important role.

At the molecular level, fire is nothing but a chemical reaction. Heat development creates unstable molecules (so-called free radicals). Upon activation of the af-x extinguishing systems, the aerosol mist immediately establishes a connection with these free radicals.

The aerosol then again provides stable molecular connections. In this way the fire is blocked at the very first stage: without cold shocks and without oxygen expulsion.

Because AF-X Fireblocker extinguish without gas and with a dry substance, it is incredibly compact. No need of extra room for Cylinders.
As a result, no structural facilities are required, such as making the rooms airtight.
AF-X Fireblocker is also much cheaper in terms of maintenance and has a life-span of 15 years.
Environmentally Friendly
– No gas, so pressureless
– It doesn’t affects oxygen levels
– Zero Ozone Depletion Potential
– Zero Global Warming Potential
– Negligible Atmospheric Lifetime

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Is aerosol fire suppression structurally different from pressurized gas systems?
    Yes, aerosol suppression is structurally different because it does not require pressurized cylinders, piping, or room airtightness. The AF-X Fireblocker uses self-contained, compact dry aerosol generators that are pressureless and require no separate cylinder room. Traditional gas or chemical clean agent systems need heavy piping and airtight rooms to maintain gas concentration. Because AF-X Fireblocker uses a dry aerosol, it leaves no water damage, and cleaning or ventilation after discharge is sufficient. This eliminates the massive footprint and structural modifications required by pressurized gas setups.
  • Do aerosol fire suppression systems require dedicated cylinder rooms or pressure vents?
    No, you do not need dedicated cylinder rooms or pressure relief vents with an aerosol system. The AF-X Fireblocker operates completely without pressure, gas cylinders, or complex piping networks. Because it extinguishes without gas and does not build up extreme pressure, there is no need to make the protected rooms airtight or install pressure relief facilities. This allows the AF-X Fireblocker to remain incredibly compact and easy to integrate directly inside the protected space, making it a highly space-efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional gas suppression systems.
  • Does the dry aerosol extinguish fires by reducing oxygen levels?
    No, the dry aerosol does not extinguish fires by displacing or reducing oxygen levels. Instead, the AF-X Fireblocker operates at a molecular level to interrupt the chemical reaction of the fire. During combustion, heat creates unstable molecules called free radicals. When the AF-X Fireblocker activates, its aerosol mist immediately binds with these free radicals to re-establish stable molecular connections. This blocks the fire at the earliest stage without oxygen expulsion, eliminating the dangerous risk of suffocation often caused by gas-based systems that flood rooms.
  • Where can I find low-maintenance fire suppression in the Netherlands?
    AF-X Fireblocker provides highly cost-effective, low-maintenance fire suppression systems across the Netherlands. While no list prices are published because projects are customized, we work through expert distributors who provide tailored quotations. The primary cost drivers for installation include the total protected volume, the number of required dry aerosol generators, detection and control panel selection, and whether it is a retrofit or new build. Over time, the system offers a low total cost of ownership thanks to its 15-year lifespan and simple visual-only maintenance checks.
  • Who supplies certified aerosol fire extinguishing systems in the Netherlands?
    AF-X Fireblocker is a premier supplier of fully certified aerosol fire extinguishing systems based in the Netherlands. Our dry aerosol technology is thoroughly tested and meets strict international standards, including ISO 15779, EN 15276, NFPA 2010, and UL 2775. These strict certifications verify that the aerosol is a highly reliable and safe alternative to traditional gas and water suppression methods. By utilizing AF-X Fireblocker systems, Dutch facility managers and engineers can ensure absolute compliance with global safety regulations while protecting critical assets.
