Types of Extinguishers:
Water |
Water extinguishers are
suitable for Class A type fires involving combustible
materials such as wood, paper and textiles. Water
is a fast and efficient means of extinguishing these materials.
It works by having a rapid cooling effect, so that insufficient
heat remains to sustain burning and continuous ignition
ceases. Manufactured in both stored pressure and gas cartridge versions, water extinguishers are available in two models: 9 and 6 Litre. |
Carbon
Dioxide |
Carbon dioxide
extinguishers are suitable for fires involving flammable
liquids and electrical hazards. The non-corrosive
and non-conductive qualities of CO2 make it an ideal choice
for dealing with fires involving electrical equipment
and machinery. Manufactured only in a stored pressure version, carbon dioxide extinguishers are available in two models: 5 and 2 kilogram. The carbon dioxide is a recovered industrial bi-product, thereby reducing the carbon dioxide levels contributing to the Greenhouse effect. |
Foam
Spray |
Foam spray extinguishers,
(AFFF - Aqueous Film Forming Foam), are ideal for multi-risk
situations where both Class A combustible materials and
Class B flammable liquid risks are likely to be found,
or where Class B risks present a direct hazard.
Foam spray extinguishers are especially suitable for Class
B fires involving flammable liquids, such as oils, spirits,
greases, fats and certain plastics. The blanketing effect of foam spray gives rapid flame knock down which smothers the flame and thus prevents re-ignition of flammable vapours by sealing the surface of the solution. Foam spray extinguishers are manufactured in four stored pressure models: 9, 6, 2 and 1 litre, and two gas cartridge models: 9 and 6 litres. |
Powder |
Powder
extinguishers are suitable for use on Class A,
B and also Class C type fires involving flammable
gases such as propane and butane. Powder
is also highly effective for electrical hazards. This multi-purpose powder interferes with the combustion process and provides rapid-fire knock down. Multi-purpose extinguishers are manufactured in fire stored pressure models: 9, 6, 4, 2 and 1 kilogram, and three gas cartridge models: 9, 6 and 4 kilogram. |
Wet
Chemical |
Cooking
oil fires, because of their high auto-ignition
temperatures are difficult to extinguish. Conventional
extinguishers are not effective for cooking oil
fires, as they do not cool sufficiently or may
even cause flash back, so putting the operator
at risk.
The 6 litre wet chemical extinguisher has been developed to deal specifically with fires resulting from cooking oils and fats. It has the capability to fight fires in deep fat fryers of up to 75 litres capacity. It contains a specially formulated wet chemical which, when applied to the burning liquid, cools and emulsifies the oil, extinguishing the flame, sealing the surface and preventing re-ignition. |
