Does any one have any views on a recent move to produce/market throwable fire extinguishers in Japan- they are like a reverse Molotov cocktail made out of ammonium phosphate dibasic and ammonium bicarbonate ? I have seen several throwable devises in museums but they appear to be making a come back. Do you know of any buildings/industrys where these have been installed and why. How should risk assessors deal with these should they come across them? In what environments would they be appropriate and how could they supplement/replace more traditional devices? Apparently they are not suitable for burning oils fire in the pen air are advanced fires. I know my aim is rather poor and what level of force could be required to break the contain when it is thrown. I don't know what is available to but in the UK and what BS they meet.
Cheers,
