Fire Extinguisher Types
We know that safety is paramount. That's why we offer a range of top quality fire extinguishers to meet all your needs. Our dedicated team of experts is always available to provide you with the guidance and advice you need to make the right choice for your facilities.
DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHERS
These come in a variety of types and are suitable for a combination of classes A, B and C fires. They are filled with foam or powder and pressurized with nitrogen.
BC
This is the regular type of dry chemical extinguisher. It is filled with sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate. The BC variety leaves a mildly corrosive residue that must be cleaned immediately to prevent any damage to materials.
CARBON DIOXIDE (C02) EXTINGUISHERS
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extinguishers are used for class B and C fires. CO2 extinguishers contain carbon dioxide, a non-flammable gas, and are highly pressurized. The pressure is so great that it is not uncommon for bits of dry ice to shoot out the nozzle. They don't work very well on class A fires because they may not be able to displace enough oxygen to put the fire out, causing it to re-ignite.
CO2 extinguishers have an advantage over dry chemical extinguishers since they don't leave harmful residue. It is a good choice for an electrical fire such as in a server room, on a computer or other electronic devices such as entertainment units.
CLEAN AGENTS (EXTINGUISHERS)
These are similar to the CO2 extinguishers. A Clean Agent extinguisher is a stored liquid under pressure that turns to gas when discharged into the air. Clean Agent is effective on Class B and C fires which include gasoline, oil, propane, and butane.
Clean Agent was created to be an environmentally friendly alternative and is safe to use on delicate electronic equipment. This agent does not leave residue and can also be effective on electrical fires due to it not being a conductor.
ABC
This is the multipurpose dry chemical extinguisher. The ABC type is filled with monoammonium phosphate, a yellow powder that leaves a sticky residue that may be damaging to electrical appliances such as computers. Dry chemical extinguishers have an advantage over CO2 extinguishers since they leave a non-flammable substance on the extinguished material, reducing the likelihood of re-ignition.
D CLASS
Class D fire extinguishers are commonly found in chemical laboratories and industrial settings. They are for fires that involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, potassium, and sodium. These types of extinguishers also have no numerical rating, nor are they given a multi-purpose rating - they are designed for class D fires only. This is due to the materials burning at high temperatures and will react violently with water, air, carbon dioxide, and other chemicals.
Class K (KITCHEN) EXTINGUISHERS
Class K fire extinguishers are used mostly in kitchens and cooking areas. These extinguishers work on fires that involve vegetable oils, animal oils, or fats in cooking appliances. The combination of alkaline mixture and fatty acid creates a soapy foam on the surface that holds in the vapors and steam to put out the fire.
