Water extinguishers
Water extinguishers are mostly used for class A fire risk. In most premises, it is necessary to have either foam or water extinguishers. This type of extinguisher is used for fires caused by various organic materials including fabrics, textiles, coal, wood, cardboard, and paper among others. It should not be used for kitchen fires, fires caused by flammable gas and liquids as well as fires that involve electrical equipment.
Foam Extinguishers
Suitable for use on class A solid combustible fires and class B flammable liquid fires, foam fire extinguishers create a cooling blanket effect, smothering burning materials and preventing reignition. Not for use on chip pan fires unless they are described specifically as class F extinguishers!
Carbon Dioxide extinguishers
Co2s (Carbon Dioxide) are primarily recommended for use on electrical equipment, often installed over the messier powder extinguisher’. This is due to the fact that the CO2 gas itself is not conducive. After use CO2’s tends to be considered a ‘cleaner’ fire extinguisher as they leave no real trace of being discharged, unlike other extinguishers that may leave water, foam or powder residue. CO2 Extinguishers are also effective at extinguishing Class B fires (Fires that involve flammable liquids).
envirofoam extinguishers
The Envirofoam Sustain range of formulated polyols are derived from recycled vegetable oils and are suitable for use in the building, refrigeration, marine and water-storage industries Having already served their primary industrial purpose within the food processing industry, vegetable oils are collected, recycled and converted to rigid foam polyols. Envirofoam Sustain is principally used in those industries that require excellent thermal insulation properties, particularly in those applications which require a non-flammable and environmentally-friendly resin component
wet chemical extinguishers
Wet chemical extinguishers are designed for use on Class F fires, involving cooking oils and fats. For fires involving cooking oils and fats (a Class F fire), a wet chemical extinguisher can be used. The wet chemical fire extinguisher can also be used on Class A fire, but foam or water extinguishers are more common.
