FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

ABC Dry Chemical (Multi-Purpose):

• Effective for Class A, B, and C fires, making it versatile for a range of industrial fire risks.

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide):

• Suitable for Class B and C fires, making it ideal for flammable liquid and electrical equipment fires common in industrial environments.

Foam:

• Effective for Class A and B fires, useful for flammable liquid fires often found in industrial settings.

Dry Powder (Class D):

• Specifically designed for combustible metal fires, such as magnesium, sodium, or titanium.

Water Mist:

• Suitable for Class A and some Class C fires, providing a fine mist to cool and suppress fires without causing damage to sensitive equipment.

Clean Agent (Halotron, FM-200):

• Suitable for Class A, B, and C fires, leaving no residue, making them ideal for protecting sensitive industrial equipment.

Wet Chemical (Class K):

• Specifically designed for kitchen fires involving cooking oils and fats, but also applicable to some industrial settings.

Purple K (Potassium Bicarbonate):

• Effective for Class B and C fires, commonly used in industrial environments with flammable liquids and electrical equipment.

It’s crucial to conduct a thorough fire risk assessment in industrial settings to determine the appropriate types and sizes of fire extinguishers needed. Additionally, industrial fire safety measures often involve other components such as fire suppression systems, emergency evacuation plans, and employee training to ensure a comprehensive approach to fire protection.
