Commercial Kitchen Fire Safety

The document summarizes a kitchen fire suppression system that uses a liquid chemical agent to extinguish fires. The agent, called FETTEX, is a salt-based solution designed specifically for fires involving cooking oil and fat. It works by saponifying surface grease, cooling with water vaporization, producing inerting steam, and interrupting the combustion chemical reaction. FETTEX immediately causes flames to subside when it hits hot burning cooking oil or fat, forming an effective foam blanket to prevent re-ignition.

The system uses a liquid chemical as its agent. The agent


is a solution of potassium acetate involving:
• The saponiication of surface grease (turning it into
combustion-resistant soap).
• The cooling effect of water vaporization.
• The inherting effects of resultant steam formation.
• The interruption of the chemical chain reaction of
ccombustion.
