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

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.

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?

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?
