FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers drawn directly from Trident product and technical information.
Which fire classes can Trident be used on?
Trident is rated for Class A, B, C, D and F fires, and is also used on lithium-ion battery fires. That means a single agent can cover ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, flammable gases, combustible metals and cooking oils and fats.
Can Trident be used on lithium-ion battery fires?
Yes. Lithium-ion fires generate heat internally, which is what makes them prone to reignition. Trident works by absorbing heat and cooling rapidly, suppressing the fire and reducing the risk of it restarting.
Is Trident water-based?
Yes. Trident is a water-based extinguishing agent used in dilution with water, formulated from synthetic and natural raw materials. It is not an AFFF product and contains no fluorine or PFAS compounds.
What product sizes are available?
Extinguishers are available as 1 L, 2 L and 4 L Safety Class units, 6 L, 9 L and 12 L Economy Class units, and 25 L and 50 L industrial trolley units. Bulk fire agent is supplied in 5 L, 20 L, 200 L and 1 000 L IBC containers.
Can Trident be used in automated suppression systems?
Yes. The agent is compatible with mobile and fixed systems, including automated suppression installations, sprinkler systems, hydrant systems using 3 % inline induction, fire appliances, and CAFS and UHP skid systems.
How environmentally responsible is the agent?
Trident is free of fluorine and PFAS, biodegradable in accordance with OECD 301 F, and classified WGK 1 — the lowest German water hazard class. It is also used at a 0.2 % mixture to bind and wash out smoke and dust particles.
How long can the agent be stored?
The agent has a shelf life of up to 10 years. It withstands frost without damage, with a freezing point of -10 °C for the pure agent, a lowest operational temperature of -5 °C, and Arctic formulations rated to -40 °C with antifreeze.
Who should apply Trident?
Trident is intended for professional use. The Trident Africa team advises on the correct product, dilution and system configuration for each environment and application.
