RadEX / Impulse Storm is the result of more than 30 years of engineering development, scientific research, and full-scale fire testing.
The project began in 1991 in Kyiv, Ukraine, founded by engineer Valerii Ivanov. However, the origins of the technology go back even further — its prototype was used in 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant to stop fires after the disaster. That system is still functioning today, proving its reliability for nearly four decades.
In the 1990s, Impulse Storm delivered over 30 heavy fire vehicles to facilities in Ukraine, Russia, and Yemen. Later, the technology was adapted for Egypt’s military fire service. In 2004, special cold-resistant systems were built and certified by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, working in Arctic conditions down to –60 °C.
In the 2000s, the technology evolved with automation. The UIS-48S system was created for automatic detection and instant suppression. It was successfully tested and approved by Petrobras in Brazil — even under LNG fire scenarios.
Between 2012 and 2014, a new version called Impulse Storm-A(S) was developed to work with powder, water, or foam. In 2014, this system successfully suppressed a 20,000-ton oil tank fire and a transformer fire.
To this day, Impulse Storm remains the only known technology in the world that has passed over 60 full-scale tests on actual fuel storage tanks.
In 2020, official cooperation with UL (Underwriters Laboratories, USA) began to modernize fire testing standards for fuel tanks. In 2022, Impulse Storm Ltd was established in the United Kingdom to combine patents, technologies, and the scientific team under one structure.
From 2022 to 2024, more than 300 tests were conducted, including in independent U.S. laboratories. Results showed that Impulse Storm is 3 to 5 times more effective than traditional aerosol, foam, or water systems — outperforming major brands like FirePro and STAT-X. It also became clear that LastFire members could not provide a single case of a successful real-world fuel tank fire suppression.
In 2025, a mobile lab was built in Finland using top-grade U.S. and EU chemicals. New tests showed:
- Fire suppression was 5–10x stronger
- Toxicity was 15–20x lower
- Installation and simplicity were 8x better
On March 25, 2025, final testing was completed at the Finnish Fire Academy with direct comparison to FirePro. Results:
- RadEX was 10x more effective in fire control
- Toxic safety was over 20x better
- Installation was 8x faster and simpler
Where RadEX Can Be Used:
- To replace aerosol systems: safer and more effective → watch video
- For extinguishing large fuel storage tanks → watch video
- For protecting enclosed spaces: cable tunnels, control rooms, underground sites → watch video
Future with Finland and the World
RadEX intends to sign a long-term agreement with the Finnish Fire Academy to build the world’s first training and testing center with a full-size fuel tank for real-world demonstrations and firefighter education.
In parallel, we are exploring cooperation with leading Finnish high-tech manufacturers to begin serial production of all Impulse Storm and RadEX technologies.
We welcome partnerships with governments, investors, and innovators ready to bring fire suppression into a new era of safety, performance, and transparency.
