Element is a manual, portable aerosol fire extinguisher. It uses a Potassium powder jet
(a unique method among fire extinguishers) that employs the vaporization of the powder
in the environment followed by the condensation of its extinguishing substance. Element
works by interrupting a fire’s chain of reaction (the “auto-catalyst” of the fire).
Element is composed of stable, solid minerals; it does not contain gas and is not
pressurized. The aerosol-like jet is only produced when the charger is struck with its
base. The produced aerosol jet is free of thrust and is essentially an inert salt that emits
gas already present in the atmosphere.
This process allows Element to extinguish all types of fires through saturation, while its
slow bio-degradation in the environment, furthers the prevention of subsequent fires.
