CO2 Gas
Carbon Dioxide extinguishers are suitable for fires involving flammable liquids and electrical hazards. The non-corrosive and non-conductive qualities of CO2 make it an ideal choice for dealing with fires involving electrical equipment and machinery. Manufactured only in a stored pressure version, carbon dioxide extinguishers are available in two models: 2 and 5 kilogram.
Suitable for Class BC fires:
Class B flammable liquids such as petrol, oil, fats, solvents, paints.
Class C flammable gases such as methane, natural or manufactured.
Safe for use on electrical equipment.
The carbon dioxide used is a recovered industrial bi-product, thereby reducing the carbon dioxide levels contributing to the Greenhouse effect.
