Carbon dioxide extinguishers (chemical formula CO2) are available in 2.0kg, 3.5kg & 5.0kg. All CO2 Extinguishers give maximum performance especially on Electrically Energized Fires. These extinguishers contain NO CFCs and are rechargeable. You can distinguish them from other types of extinguisher by a black coloured band around the top of the cylinder
Features of carbon dioxide fire extinguishers include:
- All metal valves and steel cylinder
- Easy maintenance and low cost
- Effective on wide range of fires
- Highly portable
How do Carbon Dioxide extinguishers work?
CO2 extinguishers are filled with carbon dioxide gas under extreme pressure. This pressure may be so great that when you use the extinguishers, dry ice may shoot out the horn. CO2 displaces the oxygen that a fire needs to be viable.
