Cold Fire for the Racing Industry
Cold Fire is an advanced wetting agent that is perfect for the
racing industry, able to quickly and cleanly extinguish everything
from tires to methanol to magnesium. It is UL rated (2N75), EPA
SNAP-listed, completely non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-slip. It
is in use at racetracks around the country, including Indianopolis
Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Watkins Glen and many
others. It is used by teams and tracks for IRL, NHRA, IHRA, DIRT
and IMSA, among others.
 Cold
Fire helped save the life of Andy Hillenburg on April 3rd, 2000
at Texas Motor Speedway, when his Number 2 Luxaire J&J hit the
berm and a brake rotor punctured the fuel cell, which started a
fire.

Cold Fire and its use within the motorized racing industry has
been growing rapidly. More and more tracks are using Cold Fire due
to its extraordinary fire fighting capability, unique cooling effect,
and because it is non-toxic and non-corrosive. Cold Fire provides
enhanced safety to the driver. The NHRA has even specified its use
in onboard suppression systems (9:3).
"For all other vehicles, onboard fire extinguisher systems
must be manually controlled Cold Fire 302 ... and mounted per
manufactuere's specifications with the primary nozzle(s) directed
in an attempt to protect the driver."
Unlike old-fashioned AFFF foam, Cold Fire is completely non-corrosive
and has an indefinite shelf life. You can put it in a 1.5 or 2.5
gallon extinguisher, or in the water tank of your crash truck and
forget about it. It will never gel, crystalize, separate or corrode
the metal. RDR offers even smaller 2,3 and 4 liter fire extinguishers
with fixed nozzles. It ca even be used in closed loop suppression/sprinkler
systems.
Cold Fire puts out both hydrocarbon (gas, diesel, crude) AND polar
solvent (ethanol, methanol) fires. In the case of a methanol fire,
which can burn without a visible flame, you can spray both the car
and driver as a precaution; Cold Fire is non-toxic to the driver,
and non-corrosive to the car. When dry it leaves almost no residue.
It will actually clean the track where it is sprayed, because it
encapsulates the loose hydrocarbons in spilled fuel without damaging
the asphalt/tarmac.
