      Advanced Foam Fire Extinguisher - Superior Class A & B Fire Suppression

      Protect your premises and personnel with our high-performance Foam Type Fire Extinguisher. Engineered for versatility and effectiveness, this extinguisher is an essential safety device for tackling common Class A (solids) and Class B (flammable liquids) fires with precision and efficiency, significantly reducing the risk of re-ignition.

      Overview

      Our Foam Fire Extinguishers utilize an Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) agent, which works through a dual-action mechanism: it smothers the fire by creating a barrier between the fuel and oxygen, and simultaneously cools the burning material due to its water content. This makes it particularly effective against spills of flammable liquids, forming a stable film that prevents vapor release and re-ignition.

      Key Features & Benefits

      • Dual Action Firefighting: Combines a smothering effect (cutting off oxygen) with a cooling effect (due to water content) for rapid and effective fire suppression.
      • Highly Effective on Class A & B Fires: Specifically designed for common fires involving ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, textiles) and flammable liquids (petrol, oil, paint, solvents).
      • Film-Forming Technology: The AFFF agent creates a durable film over liquid fuels, preventing dangerous reignition and ensuring the fire stays out.
      • Reduced Mess & Cleanup: Compared to dry powder extinguishers, foam leaves less residue, making cleanup easier and minimizing potential damage to property.
      • User-Friendly Design: Equipped with an easy-to-read pressure gauge, clear operating instructions, and an intuitive discharge lever for quick and effective deployment during an emergency.
      • Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, ensuring longevity and reliable performance in various environments.
      • Safety First: Contains an environmentally conscious, non-toxic foam agent (check specific product for PFAS-free status if applicable), making it a safer choice for enclosed spaces than some alternatives.
      • Compliance & Certification: Meets stringent international and local safety standards (e.g., EN3, CE Marked, Kitemark, UL Listed – specify actual certifications).

      Fire Classifications

      Our Foam Fire Extinguisher is specifically rated for:

      • Class A Fires: Fires involving ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, textiles, and plastics.
      • Class B Fires: Fires involving flammable liquids like petrol, oils, paints, solvents, and greases.

      Important Note:

      DO NOT USE Foam Type Extinguishers on:

      • Class C Fires: Flammable gases.
      • Class D Fires: Flammable metals.
      • Electrical Fires (live equipment): The water content in foam conducts electricity, posing a severe electrocution risk. Always ensure power is cut before using a foam extinguisher near electrical equipment, or use a CO2 or Dry Powder extinguisher for electrical fires.
      • Class F/K Fires: Cooking oils and fats in deep fat fryers (a specialized Wet Chemical extinguisher is recommended for these).

      Ideal Applications

      This versatile fire extinguisher is perfect for a wide range of settings, including:

      • Offices & Commercial Buildings
      • Workshops & Garages
      • Warehouses & Storage Facilities
      • Manufacturing Plants
      • Retail Stores & Shopping Centres
      • Hotels & Restaurants (non-kitchen specific areas)
      • Schools & Educational Institutions
      • Homes (especially in areas where flammable liquids are stored)
