Chemical Descriptions:
ABC Dry Chemical suppresses more fire, by volume, than any other agent. ABC dry chemical has quick flame “knock-down” and can help to secure Class A fi res against re-ignition. Since many hazards involve a variety of fuel sources, our ABC dry chemical, with protection against Class A (wood, paper, pulp), Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (live electrical equipment) is the agent that is best suited for most Industrial hazards.
BC CARBON DIOXIDE is discharged as a white cloud of “snow” which smothers a fire by eliminating oxygen. It is effective for Class B flammable liquids and is electrically non-conductive. Carbon Dioxide is a clean, non-contaminating, odorless gas.
BC REGULAR DRY CHEMICAL extinguishers contain a siliconized sodium bicarbonate based dry chemical with free flowing and non-caking additives. Economical Class B & C protection with lower initial cost and recharging. This chemical smothers fires in flammable liquids and pressurized gases and will not conduct electricity back to the operator.
WET CHEMICAL extinguishers are the best restaurant kitchen appliance hand portable fire extinguishers you can purchase. Each model has been tested and approved for the Class K listing by UL specifically for restaurant kitchen hazards. They contain a special potassium acetate based agent. The recent trend to more efficient cooking appliances and use of vegetable based cooking oils dictates the use of a hand portable fire extinguisher with greater fire-fighting capacity and cooling effect to combat these very hot and difficult fires. Available in two sizes - 6 liter or 2½ gal. – with attractive stainless steel cylinders and easy to use hose and spray application nozzle. The superior fire-fighting capability of the Wet Chemical agent is placed exactly where you aim it with no chemical residue to clean up. The Models B260
and B262 are the ideal “KITCHEN USE” fire extinguishers. They supplement existing cooking equipment automatic system protection for an extra margin of safety.
HALON 1211 is a liquified gas, pressurized with nitrogen, which discharges as a vapor causing
no cold or static shock and no impairment of the operator’s vision. This “CLEAN” agent quickly
penetrates difficult to see and hard to reach areas and leaves no residue. It is recommended for
protection of delicate, sensitive and expensive computers, electrical equipment, tapes and film,
automotive and aircraft engines, laboratory chemicals and equipment.
Halotron™ I clean fire extinguishing agent discharges as a rapidly evaporating liquid, which is non-conductive, non-corrosive, and leaves behind no residue. Halotron™ I is the clean agent market leader with a history of successful real-world protection of valuable assets. From model scale aircraft to wide body commercial aircraft, from data centers to pharmaceutical and other industrial plants, the
Halotron™ I agent has been used to extinguish the fire, limit damage and help reduce downtime that can be caused by other agents. The Halotron™ I clean agent has been determined to be the most environmentally beneficial halocarbon agent on the market today that meets wide performance standards. Ideal applications for these extinguishers include: data centers, laboratories, manufacturing plants, general office areas, computer rooms, telecommunication facilities, clean rooms, control rooms, warehouses, military electronics, vehicles including classic autos, boats, engine compartments, aircraft ramps, onboard aircraft and in facilities that service aircraft and any facility where dry chemical extinguishers could cause unacceptable damage or contamination.
Class D dry powder: A blended Sodium Chloride based dry powder extinguishing agent. Heat from the fire causes it to cake and form a crust excluding air and dissipating heat from burning metal.
PURPLE K extinguishers contain specially fluidized and siliconized potassium bicarbonate dry
chemical which is particularly effective on Class B flammable liquids and pressurized gases. It is electrically non-conductive.
Water for Class A fires only
WATER MIST is used for Class A fires and where a potential Class C (electrical) hazard exists. The fine spray from the unique misting nozzle provides safety from electrical shock, greatly enhances the cooling and soaking characteristics of the agent and reduces scattering of burning materials. Special Water Mist extinguishers contain de-ionized water making them the best extinguishers for protection of hospital environments, valuable books and documents, telecommunication facilities and “clean room” manufacturing facilities.
Foam for Class A and B fires only
