CO2 Extinguishers contain only pressurised CO2 gas. This type of extinguisher is suitable for use on fires involving burning liquids, but is also a good solution for quenching fires involving computer equipment and other electrical appliances, as it does not cause damage to the electrical items and does not cause the system to short circuit.

 

Foam fire extinguishers, by comparison, contain foam that forms a film rapidly. This knocks down flames. The film on top of the foam seals in vapours and prevents the fire from getting oxygen, so that it can't reignite. All foam fire extinguishers are a good solution for situations where both class A and B fires.

 

Air pressurized water extinguishers use ordinary water to suppress fire. The water is propelled by ordinary air, pressurized in the extinguisher. Water fire extinguishers are efficient and cost effective against Class A fires involving, Paper, Textiles, Wood, Plastics and Rubber.

 

Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers are especially designed for use on kitchen fires involving burning oil and deep fat fryers. These extinguishers come with a special, long application lance which allows you to safely lay a cooling layer of foam on top of the burning oil.
