GuardianPro™ 6L AFFF Foam Fire Extinguisher – Your Dual-Class Fire Defense

Protect your property and personnel with the GuardianPro™ 6L AFFF Foam Fire Extinguisher, your premier defense against common Class A and Class B fires. Engineered for rapid knockdown and superior re-ignition prevention, this extinguisher is an essential safety tool for a wide range of environments, from workshops and offices to commercial kitchens and public buildings.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dual-Class Fire Protection:
  • Class A Fires: Effectively combats fires involving ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, textiles, and plastics.
  • Class B Fires: Specially formulated to tackle flammable liquid fires, including petrol, oils, paints, and solvents.
• Advanced AFFF Foam Technology: Utilizes high-performance Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) that works by:
  • Smothering Flames: Creating a sealing film over the fuel surface, cutting off oxygen supply.
  • Cooling Action: Reducing the temperature of the burning materials, preventing re-ignition.
  • Vapour Suppression: Minimizing the release of flammable vapours from liquids.
• Rapid Knockdown & Re-ignition Prevention: The foam's unique properties ensure quick extinguishing and a lasting barrier to prevent fires from flaring up again, especially crucial for liquid spills.
• User-Friendly Operation: Designed for ease of use in an emergency. Simply pull the safety pin and squeeze the operating lever.
• Reliable & Durable Construction:
  • Robust steel cylinder with a high-quality, corrosion-resistant finish.
  • High-grade brass valve assembly ensures reliable performance.
  • Comfortable grip handle for secure operation.
• Clear Pressure Gauge: Features an easy-to-read, colour-coded pressure gauge for instant visual verification of operational readiness.
• Certified & Compliant:
  • Fully certified to EN3 (European Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers).
  • CE Marked.
  • Often carries a BSI Kitemark or equivalent national approval, ensuring quality and performance.
• Minimal Clean-up: While foam requires some clean-up, it generally leaves less residue than dry powder extinguishers, simplifying post-incident procedures.

Ideal Applications:

The GuardianPro™ Foam Extinguisher is a versatile choice for environments where both solid combustibles and flammable liquids pose a risk:

• Workshops & Garages: Ideal for tackling fires involving wood, paper, fuels, oils, and solvents.
• Factories & Industrial Units: Protects areas with machinery, chemical storage, and general manufacturing materials.
• Commercial Kitchens: Effective against cooking oils and fats (Class B), though Class F/K extinguishers are often preferred for deep fat fryers. Good for general combustibles.
• Offices & Public Buildings: A good all-rounder for general office environments, common rooms, and corridors.
• Schools & Colleges: Suitable for classrooms, art rooms, and science labs.
• Petrol Stations & Fuel Storage Areas: Crucial for immediate response to liquid fuel fires.
• Boats & Vehicles: Excellent for engine compartments and fuel storage areas where Class A and B fires are a risk.

Technical Specifications:

Safety & Maintenance:

• Important Safety Notes:
  • DO NOT USE ON LIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT (Class C): Foam is conductive and can cause electrocution. Always cut power before fighting a fire.
  • NOT FOR USE ON COOKING OILS & FATS (Class F/K): While effective on Class B liquids, specialized Class F/K extinguishers are recommended for deep fat fryers due to the risk of splash-back and re-ignition.
  • NOT FOR USE ON FLAMMABLE METALS (Class D): Requires specialized Class D extinguishing agents.
• Regular Inspection: Check the pressure gauge regularly to ensure the needle is in the green zone. Inspect for any signs of damage or tampering.
• Professional Servicing: Fire extinguishers should be professionally serviced annually by a qualified technician to ensure optimal performance and compliance with safety regulations.
