Fire and rusting is the same chemical reaction (oxidization) one extremely fast the other extremely slow

The wet chemical in restaurant commercial cooking operation vent hoods fire suppression systems is a saponifying agent turning fat into soap as a means off suffocating a grease fire. The same molecular action that makes bar soap.

Foam fire suppression systems in aircraft hangers used to be made with saponifying agents and animal fat mixed together to create soap upon discharge to extinguish aircraft/jetfuel fires.

Purple K dry chemical was invented by the navy and is non corrosive to aluminum and used in place of ABC around aircraft and at aircraft fuel farms.
