How BlazeCut Works

Fire Starts - Heat Builds.

A small fault begins the chain reaction. It could be a chafed wire, an overloaded connector, or a fuel mist near a hot surface. Inside the sealed compartment, temperatures climb rapidly as heat becomes trapped and concentrated.

Because the BlazeCut system is installed directly inside the enclosure, it senses those temperature changes exactly where they occur - within the protected space itself, not in the surrounding environment.

This internal proximity is what allows BlazeCut to respond to a developing fire in its earliest stage, before it escapes the compartment or causes extensive damage

The BlazeCut Detection Tube Responds.

BlazeCut uses a black, abrasion-resistant polymer tube charged with a clean agent and designed to soften predictably at a precise temperature threshold.

When the air at the hottest point reaches approximately 267°F ± 6°F, the tube softens and yields at that exact location.

That single point becomes the path of least resistance. This matters because the system effectively “aims itself” at the source of ignition, rather than releasing agent blindly into the entire space.

Clean Agent Released Directly At The Hottest Point Of The Fire.

At the hotspot, the softened tube forms a small, controlled opening. Internal pressure forces the clean agent through this opening and turns it into a focused jet.

Instead of a diffuse spray, the discharge behaves like a built-in nozzle that targets the fire’s core.

The immediate effect is to strip heat, remove the fire's fuel sources, and interrupt the fire’s chemical chain reaction right where combustion started.

FK-5-1-12 Floods the Source and Stops Combustion.

When the BlazeCut tube opens, the pressurized FK-5-1-12 clean agent is instantly released and vaporizes into a fine mist that engulfs the ignition point.

Within milliseconds, it attacks the fire on all three fronts of the fire triangle - heat, fuel, and oxygen - neutralizing the conditions that sustain combustion.

The agent rapidly absorbs heat, cooling the reaction zone below the ignition threshold, while simultaneously interrupting the chemical chain reaction that keeps flames alive.

This dual action halts the fire at its source and prevents re-ignition, even in high-risk environments with lingering fuel or electrical energy.

Because the discharge originates precisely at the hottest point, FK-5-1-12 delivers a direct, localized response that extinguishes fires faster and more efficiently than traditional systems.

The Blazecut suppression agent vanishes without a trace.

Once the fire is out, FK-5-1-12 evaporates quickly and cleanly, leaving no residue, moisture, or corrosion behind.

It’s non-toxic, non-conductive, and safe for use around people and sensitive electronics, making it ideal for enclosed environments like vehicles, control panels, and marine compartments.

Environmentally, it’s one of the most sustainable clean agents available - with zero ozone depletion potential and an exceptionally low global warming impact.

BlazeCut achieves high-performance fire suppression without sacrificing safety, reliability, environmental responsibility, or the need for an entire cleaning and replacement crew.

Protected Equipment Stays Safe.

Suppression occurs within seconds before the fire can spread or cause secondary damage.

Once the fire is extinguished, your equipment remains clean, intact, and ready for operation - there’s no residue, no corrosion, and no cleanup required (apart from touching up scorch marks and the faulty equipment that started the fire.)

Because BlazeCut systems are fully self-contained, a single activation uses the entire unit.

When that happens, replacement is simple: just order the same model from our website and reinstall it using the same quick, tool-free process as before.

Within minutes, your enclosure is once again fully protected and ready to respond to the next threat.

To Put It Simply...

BlazeCut is like having a tiny firefighter watching your equipment waiting to act at the first signs of fire without hesitation.

When things start to overheat inside an enclosed space, BlazeCut feels the heat right where the problem is starting.

If the temperature gets too high, its heat detection tubing opens up and releases a clean, safe gas that cools everything down and stops the fire in seconds.

There’s no electricity needed, no mess, and nothing to clean afterward. The gas disappears quickly without hurting your gear, the environment, or anyone nearby.

And if the system ever activates, replacing it is easy - just order a new one and snap it back in and you’re protected again in minutes.

That’s why BlazeCut is the perfect choice: it works automatically, it’s safe for everything you care about, and it never takes a day off.

Frequently asked questions

How does BlazeCut work?

BlazeCut uses a heat-sensitive tube containing extinguishing agent. When exposed to high temperatures, the tube melts and releases the agent to suppress the fire automatically.

Where can BlazeCut be installed?

Common installation sites include engine compartments, electrical cabinets, data centers, and enclosed spaces at risk of fire; it’s important to check specific product volume recommendations for each enclosure.

What types of fires does BlazeCut suppress?

BlazeCut is effective on electrical, liquid, and solid fuel fires, particularly in small closed spaces.

What is the lifespan/shelf life of a BlazeCut system?

The tube and system can last between 5 and 10 years, depending on environment and application.

Does BlazeCut leave behind residue or damage equipment?

BlazeCut uses clean agents which do not conduct electricity, corrode, or damage electronics, and are safe for people in typical application volumes.
