      Premium CO2 Gas Fire Extinguishers: The Clean Choice for Electrical and Flammable Liquid Fires

      Protect your valuable assets and critical infrastructure with our high-performance CO2 Gas Fire Extinguishers. Engineered for rapid and residue-free fire suppression, these extinguishers are the ideal solution for tackling Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires without causing collateral damage to sensitive equipment or leaving behind messy residue.

      Why Choose CO2 Gas Fire Extinguishers?

      CO2 extinguishers work by displacing oxygen around the fire, effectively suffocating it. The discharged CO2 gas is non-conductive and evaporates completely, making it the preferred agent for environments where cleanliness and the protection of electronics are paramount.

      Key Features & Benefits:

      • Class B & C Fire Protection: Specifically designed to combat fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, oil, paints, and solvents (Class B), as well as energized electrical equipment (Class C). Not suitable for Class A (ordinary combustibles) or Class D (combustible metals).
      • Residue-Free Cleanliness: Discharges as a gas that dissipates harmlessly into the atmosphere, leaving absolutely no residue, mess, or corrosion. This is critical for data centers, server rooms, labs, and offices.
      • Non-Conductive Agent: Safely extinguishes electrical fires without risk of electric shock, protecting both equipment and operators.
      • Rapid Suppression: Provides immediate knockdown of fires by starving them of oxygen, minimizing damage and potential downtime.
      • Durable Construction: Manufactured with robust, high-grade steel cylinders and reliable brass valves, ensuring long-lasting performance and resistance to corrosion.
      • User-Friendly Design: Features a simple pull-pin and squeeze-grip operation, making them easy to deploy in an emergency. Equipped with a non-conductive discharge horn for safe application.
      • Environmentally Responsible: Contains no ozone-depleting chemicals, offering a responsible choice for fire protection.
      • Low Maintenance: Requires periodic weighing to verify contents, with minimal other maintenance needs compared to other types.

      Ideal Applications:

      Our CO2 Gas Fire Extinguishers are indispensable for a wide range of sensitive environments, including:

      • Data Centers & Server Rooms: Protects critical IT infrastructure without damaging servers or hardware.
      • Offices & Commercial Buildings: Ideal for areas with computers, photocopiers, and electrical panels.
      • Electrical Rooms & Substations: Essential for safeguarding high-voltage equipment.
      • Laboratories: Safe for use around sensitive instruments and chemicals.
      • Manufacturing Facilities: Where flammable liquids or electrical machinery pose a fire risk.
      • Commercial Kitchens: Effective against grease and oil fires without contaminating food or surfaces.
      • Garages & Workshops: For fuels, lubricants, and vehicle electrical systems.

      How CO2 Extinguishers Work:

      CO2 extinguishers work primarily by suffocation (displacing oxygen) and to a lesser extent, by cooling. When discharged, the highly compressed liquid CO2 rapidly expands into a gas, creating a cloud of dry ice particles. This dense, cold gas blankets the fire, cutting off its oxygen supply and simultaneously lowering the temperature of the burning materials.

      Important Safety Considerations:

      • Ventilation: Do NOT use CO2 extinguishers in confined spaces without adequate ventilation, as the gas displaces oxygen and can pose a risk of asphyxiation. Always ensure a clear exit path.
      • Frostbite Risk: The discharged CO2 is extremely cold (reaching temperatures as low as -78°C / -108°F). Avoid direct skin contact with the discharge horn or the gas to prevent severe frostbite.
      • Limited Range: CO2 extinguishers typically have a shorter discharge range compared to other types, requiring closer proximity to the fire.
      • Re-ignition: Since CO2 only displaces oxygen, there is a risk of re-ignition if the source of the fire is not completely eliminated or if oxygen returns to the area.

      Compliance & Certifications:

      Our CO2 Gas Fire Extinguishers are manufactured to the highest industry standards, ensuring reliability and compliance with relevant safety regulations. They typically feature:

      • UL Listed / CE Marked: Conforming to rigorous safety and performance standards for North American or European markets.
      • NFPA 10 Compliant: Meeting the standards for portable fire extinguishers as defined by the National Fire Protection Association.
      • EN3 Certified: (For European markets) Meeting the European standard for portable fire extinguishers.
      • High Pressure Tested: Each cylinder undergoes hydrostatic testing to ensure structural integrity.
