Eric as far as I can determine they both work on the same principal with the same active ingredient. More research is needed😀

Au contraire mon ami. The active ingredient in a BlazeCut is HFC-236FA (Hexafluoropropane), an organic compound that has replaced Halon 1211 in fire extinguishers. On the other hand, KNECOM states its EBCO extinguisher's "main oxidant and component" is 50-58% Strontium Nitrate, an inorganic compound used in RR flares and pyrotechnics as a red pigment colorant. Some states (eg., New Jersey) classify it as a Hazardous Substance, and when NJ does that it must be really something nasty!
