Using
MICRO-BLAZE® EMERGENCY LIQUID SPILL CONTROL in
A Water-Type Fire Extinguisher
- Completely discharge extinguisher, releasing all
pressure.
- Unscrew and remove nozzle assembly.
- Fill with two (2) gallons of clear water. Add one
pint (16 oz.) of Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid
Spill Control slowly. (Always add water first to lessen
foaming.) This creates a 6% mixture that works best for lighter end
and volatile hydrocarbons, such as gasoline and condensate and
glycols. Use less (1 cup: 3% mixture) with heavier
hydrocarbon spills such as motor oils, hydraulic fluids, etc.
- Reconnect nozzle assembly.
- Charge with air to green mark on pressure valve.
- Ready to use. Repeat Steps 1 – 6 as necessary for
refilling and recharging the extinguisher.
Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid Spill
Control can be used on petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel,
fuel oil, and other hydrocarbons, as well as industrial solvents such as
benzene, acetone or ethylene glycol (antifreeze).
Apply Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid
Spill Control to the spill as directed
below:
Direct extinguisher nozzle at the spill
area, and discharge the
solution directly onto the spill, covering it
completely. The solution need not
be applied gently, as agitation allows the solution
to penetrate the spill.
2. Allow the solution to remain on the spill for five
(5) minutes if possible. A broom or pressurized water stream (red
line) can be used to agitate the solution. Rinse with water. The
surfactant mixture will cause the surface area to be slippery until it
is washed clean with water.
Note: The microbes in
the Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid Spill Control are
stabilized with preservatives and have an indefinite shelf-life, even
when premixed with water. Water alone will not activate the
microbes. When applied to a food source (i.e. the contamination), they
germinate in 15-20 minutes.
