Types of Fire Extinguishers We Sell

We offer a variety of fire extinguishers, each designed to tackle different types of fires. Here are the main types we provide:

  1. Water Extinguishers are ideal for Class A fires involving ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth. They cool the burning material and are effective in homes and offices.
  2. Dry Powder Extinguishers: Versatile and effective on Class A, B, and C fires. They can be used on flammable gases and electrical fires, making them suitable for industrial settings.
  3. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extinguishers: Best for Class B and electrical fires. CO2 extinguishers displace oxygen, smothering the fire without leaving any residue, which is ideal for offices and areas with sensitive equipment.
  4. Wet Chemical Extinguishers: These extinguishers are specifically designed for Class K fires involving cooking oils and fats. They cool the fire and create a barrier to prevent re-ignition, making them essential for kitchens.
  5. Halogenated Fire Extinguishers: These are ideal for electrical fires because they inhibit the chemical reaction of fuel and oxygen.
  6. Class D Extinguishers: These extinguishers are used specifically for combustible metals or metal alloys.
