TY - JOUR PY - 1974// TI - Na-X, a new fire extinguishing agent for metal fires JO - Fire technology A1 - Riley, JF A1 - Stauffer, EE SP - 269 EP - 274 VL - 10 IS - 4 N2 - The paper describes the development of a low chloride content fire extinguishing agent for use on sodium fires. The primary objective was to develop an agent with as low a chloride content as practical that would be effective on sodium fires and could be applied from a pressurized fire extinguisher. Low chloride content was desirable in order to reduce the possibility of chloride stress corrosion, especially in areas where austenitic stainless steels are used.
