Innovation
Achuk, is the revolutionary fire extinguishing composition which powers our products and can empower fire fighters across the world to beat the fires. This environmentally friendly innovation has been patented across 46 countries and will be manufactured locally in different countries to ensure the world community can fight against fires.
Unique Features of Achuk
Achuk can help save lives due to its unique capabilities and is one innovation which is truly good for Earth.
Power to Eliminate
Firefighting can lead to winning or losing the battle with fire. But Achuk promises to eliminate fire and stay unbeaten. Achuk technology cuts off oxygen, cools the burning material and extinguishes fire without combustion. It covers the surface to retard rekindling of fire, even under extreme high temperatures.
Rapid Results
Achuk works almost instantly on most types of fires and offers the triple and simultaneous effect of cooling, extinguishing and retarding with exponential results on larger fires.
Effective on High Temperature Fires
Achuk does not combust like other firefighting chemicals. It has the capability to fight even very high temperature fires upto 1100°C
Improved Visibility
Achuk does not produce smoke and also retards smoke from the fire, thus improving visibility and making firefighting easier. Unlike certain chemicals, Achuk does not hamper visibility.
Reduced Water Consumption
97% of all fires are currently fought with water, which requires about 8000 Million Litres of water every year in just 80 countries. Achuk has the capability to reduce water consumption to 10% in fighting fires depending on type/ size of fire and equipment deployed. It would not be an exaggeration to state that saving water would be equivalent to saving humanity in the coming century.
Positive Impact on Environment
Fires are the leading source of carbon emissions globally and yet we have been unable to control large fires. The fires are thus not only adding to air, water and soil pollution but also impacting global temperature. Flooding, water scarcity, depletion of natural resources and health hazards all follow the uncontrollable fires. The use of Achuk can help arrest these fires and positively impact the environment.
Easy to Use
Achuk composition is used simply by adding proportionate water and thus the same set of existing firefighting equipment, people and techniques can be used. Achuk is adaptable to all existing firefighting equipment and systems like fire extinguishers, trolleys, fire trucks/engines, firefighting planes etc. Achuk can thus empower the same system and people to deliver phenomenal results against fire.
Long Life
Achuk has virtually unlimited shelf life and thus brings in huge cost savings where Achuk based products are installed for fire safety and prevention. Achuk does not require any special storage.
Cost Effective Solution
While one can never assign a true cost to the value of human/plant/animal life, Achuk can save lives, assets and the environment with its speed of extinguishment and distinct technology. Thus it offers a cost effective solution against the losses created by fires.
Harmless for all
Achuk is not toxic, has no odor and has no substances which might be considered harmful to human health or the environment. It does not pollute air, water or soil and thus can be used in unlimited quantities without any threat to the environment.
