Products: Amerex Fire Extinguishers
ABC or Multi-Purpose extinguishers utilize a specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate dry chemical. It chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350 F and coats the surface to which its applied. It smothers and breaks the chain reaction of Class B fires and will not conduct electricity back to the operator.
Halotron I is a “Clean Agent” HydroChloroFluoroCarbon (HCFC) discharged as a rapidly evaporating liquid which leaves no residue. It effectively extinguishes Class A and B fires by cooling and smothering and it will not conduct electricity back to the operator. Halotron is pressurized with Argon gass and is an EPA and FAA approved agent suitable for use on Class A, B and C fires.
Halon 1211 is a liquefied gas, pressurized with nitrogen, which discharges as a vapor causing no cold or static shick and no impairment of the operator’s vision. This “CLEAN” agent quickly penetrates difficult to see and hard to reach areas and leaves no residue. It is recommended for the protection of delicate, sensitive and expensive computers, electrical equipment, tapes and film, automotive and aircraft engines, laboratory chemicals and equipment.
Class K Wet Kitchen Use Extinguishers
Wet chemical extinguishers are the best restaurant kitchen appliance hand portable fire extinguishers you can purchase. Both have been tested and approved for the new Class K listing by UL specifically for restaurant kitchen hazards. They contain a special potassium acetate based low pH agent developed for use in the pre-engineered restaurant kitchen systems. The recent trend to more efficient cooking appliances and use of unsaturated cooking oils dictates the use of a hand portable fire extinguisher with greater fire capacity and cooling effect to combat these very hot and difficult fires. Available in two sizes – 6 liter and 2 ½ gallon with attractive stainless steel cylinders and easy to use hopes and spray application nozzle. The superior fire fighting capacity of the wet chemical agent is placed exactly where you aim it with no chemical residue to clean up. The Models B260 and B262 are the ideal “KITCHEN USE” fire extinguishers. They supplement existing cooking equipment automatic system protection for an extra margin of safety.
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide is discharged as a white cloud of “snow” which smothers a fire by eliminating oxygen. It is effective for Class B flammable liquids and is electrically non-conductive. Carbon Dioxide is a clean, non-contaminating, odorless gas.
