It also chemically inhibits combustion by reacting with free radicals, arresting the chemical combustion process, and smothering flames; this is especially effective in enclosed or high-load fire scenarios. - **The top-performing agent for tackling hidden and intense fires.** [ Become a Distributor ](https://www.reactonfire.com/en-gb/become-a-distributor) ## **Why Choose Reacton **
