KV-LITE GRAPHEX is a specially formulated dry powder designed for combating sodium metal fires and other Class D metal fire hazards. Conventional water, foam, and standard dry chemical powders are unsuitable for metal fires due to their violent reaction with burning metals. KV-LITE GRAPHEX is manufactured from graphite and treated with specialty chemicals to provide superior fire suppression performance and excellent water repellency.

The powder possesses a high latent heat of fusion, enabling it to absorb heat rapidly from the burning metal surface. Upon application, the graphite-based powder swells and forms a protective layer over the molten metal, effectively isolating it from oxygen and preventing further combustion. This cooling action helps reduce metal temperatures and minimizes the risk of fire recurrence.

KV-LITE GRAPHEX provides fast and effective extinguishment through its unique heat absorption and blanketing mechanism. The product offers superior protection compared to conventional chloride salt-based powders and is particularly effective on sodium, lithium, potassium, and their alloy fires. It is widely used in facilities where reactive metal fire risks are present.

Applications

KV-LITE GRAPHEX is specifically developed for Class D metal fire protection involving sodium, lithium, potassium, and reactive metal alloys. The graphite-based powder cools burning metals, forms a protective barrier, and prevents re-ignition.

Suitable for sodium, lithium, and potassium metal fire hazards.

Ideal for metal processing and metallurgical industries.

Applicable through portable and specialized dry powder extinguishers.
