"Kitchen Use" Extinguisher: Suitable
for use on Class F Fires

What
is a Wet Chemical Extinguisher ??
6 litre
Water Mist Spray unit with additive
It is an extinguisher
that has been developed specifically for tackling "Fat
Fryer / Cooking Oil" fires, which are the most
difficult types of fire to extinguish safely
How
does it work ??.............................
|
It is applied as a
mist and it cools the burning oil/fat to below auto-ignition temperature,
as well as reacting chemically with it, to form a soapy layer which
seals the surface, once the fire is out it stays out, there is no
chance of the fire re-igniting
Due to the high temperatures involved with cooking oil fires, the
use of a normal fire extinguisher is not recommended, they are capable
of briefly putting the fire out but cannot cool the temperature
enough and in most cases the fire re-ignites
With the Wet Chemical
extinguisher contamination of other areas and clean up times are
significantly reduced in comparison to the conventional dry powder
extinguishers
This extinguisher has
been tested to the new draft British Standard 7937 and successfully
put out the largest test fire, designated 75F, giving it the highest
fire rating currently available
