Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extinguisher

Best For

Electrical apparatus and electronic equipment

Liquids such as grease, fats, oil, paint, petrol, etc. 

Danger

Do not use on chip or fat pan fires

Do not hold metal parts at head of extinguisher other than the handle.

Fumes from the CO2 can be harmful if used in confined spaces, therefore ventilate the area as soon as possible after the fire is extinguished.

How to use

The discharge horn should be directed at the base of the flames and the jet kept moving across the area of the fire.

How it works

Vaporising liquid gas which smothers the flames by displacing oxygen in the air surrounding the fire.
