Description
Dry Chemical Portable fire extinguishers are the most widely used of all types of extinguishers. Safequip’s range of stored pressure dry chemical powder extinguishers is suitable for class A (combustible materials), class B (flammable or combustible liquids), and/or class C (electrical) fires or a combination of ABC class fires. All the extinguishers supplied conform to the minimum fire ratings as specified in SANS 1910:2009. They are highly effective for electrical hazards.
This multi-purpose extinguisher interferes with the combustion process and provides rapid fire knockdown. They are ideal for mixed fire-risk environments and especially suited for the protection of liquids, storage of liquid gases, and heating oils used in industry, garages, and workshops. Dry chemical powders have been developed over a period of thirty years and can be supplied as Alpha Dynaflo (SABS grade 3A/5B), an ultra-high performance product, or in various grades down to our alpha megaflop 40%, which carries a 2A/2B rating. The powders are siliconised for superior flow and anti-caking. Operating heads are made of brass with either zinc or chrome plating; steel epoxy-coated carrying handle and discharge lever, fitted with safety relief valve and pressure gauge. Extinguishers of 4.5kg and bigger are fitted with a high-pressure discharge hose and discharge nozzle, which is located onto a L-shape nozzle holder fixed to the foot ring of the extinguisher.
