Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
STICK Series: An automatic fire extinguishing device for small spaces, where the internal temperature reaches 100-110°C during a fire, the extinguishing capsule automatically detects the temperature and releases over 90% of the extinguishing agent within 10 seconds. It operates without a separate power supply or sensors and uses FK-5-1-12 clean extinguishing agent to suppress fires without secondary damage.STICKSeries:Anautomaticfireextinguishingdeviceforsmallspaces,wheretheinternaltemperaturereaches100-110°Cduringafire,theextinguishingcapsuleautomaticallydetectsthetemperatureandreleasesover90%oftheextinguishingagentwithin10seconds.ItoperateswithoutaseparatepowersupplyorsensorsandusesFK-5-1-12cleanextinguishingagenttosuppressfireswithoutsecondarydamage.
