16 oz fire extinguisher
 

Hey guys putting out a feeler what would you think of a 16oz compact fire extinguisher that would be biodegradeable. Compact lightweight awesome stuff...debating wheather to go through USCG approval and market this stuff...

biodegradeable? So it can't get wet? please explain a bit more

I think he means the agent inside the ext. is biodegradeable, not the housing:lolhit:

Yes aluminum housing, with biodegradeable contents. Would come with white aluminum housing which could be custom painted to match your interior. Compact size litterly the size of a water bottle would market with a metal mounting bracket for marine use. One small can performs same as a larger type canister.

IF it was cost competitive, good shelf life and other attributes were equal or better; SURE!

Otherwise, probably not.
Fire extinguishers are used infrequently enough (hopefully) that I dont see bio being a swaying decision component to higher cost.

Twice the effective coverage might be a point for high value considerations but that will be a niche market IMO.

Easy cleanup and minimal damage to contacted surfaces would be a higher value product proposition.

shelf life
 

Yea my thoughts when I saw this stuff work immediatly went to performance boating weight savings, 7yr shelf life, the agent will not harm interior finishes or paint/gelcoat. Comes in an awesome small bottle that looks like a mini NOS bottle. IMO it would be just the thing to have in any performance boat or race car, and toolbox

I`ll take 2 ! where can i buy them? Weight and space saving is awesome.

What kind of pricing are you talking about?

slow down fellows
 

Hey guys I really appreciate all the interest, we have the product and can produce quantities when we give it the green light. Seriously this stuff is unbelievable what a small can will do to a large fire. For the Can only, (no mount) your probably looking at $25 to $30. I'm starting to look into getting a quality solid mount system for marine or any vehicle use. If I can get something produced to fit the bill and stay price competative We will be going for the USCG approvals

i'd grab a few at that price. Would you be offering a thermal switch for mounting in the engine room? what kind of volume would this cover in a given application? or is it a direct contact type of suppressant?
