This chemical is primarily used as a fire extinguishing agent, particularly in scenarios where traditional extinguishing methods like water or foam are ineffective or could cause damage. It is highly effective in suppressing fires involving flammable liquids, electrical equipment, and sensitive electronics due to its non-conductive and non-corrosive properties. Its ability to rapidly extinguish flames without leaving residue makes it suitable for use in data centers, museums, and aviation applications. Additionally, it is employed in specialized fire suppression systems for military and industrial settings, where quick and clean fire control is critical.
