Water
extinguishers are suitable for Class A type
fires involving combustable materials such as
wood, paper and fabrics. 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. |
|
|
Powder
extinguishers are suitable for use on A, B and
C type fires involving flammable gases such
as propane and butane. Powder is also highly
effective for electrical hazards. The multipurpose
powder interferes with the combustion process
and provides rapid-fire knock down. Multi-purpose
powder extinguishers are manufactured in five
stored pressure models : 9, 6, 4 ,2 and 1 kilogram,
and three gas cartridge models : 9,6 and 4 kilogram. |
|
|
Foam
Spray extinguishers (AFFF - Aqueous Film Forming
Foam), are ideal for multi-risk situations where
both Class A combustable materials and Class
B flammable liquid risks are likely to be found.
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 bys sealing the surface of the solution. |
|
|
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 stored pressure version,
carbon dioxide extinguishers are available in
two models : 5 and 2 kilogram. |
