Expert Wet Chemical Extinguishers Supplier
Identified by their yellow band, wet chemical extinguishers can tackle class A, B and F fires. Their ability to tackle class F fires – fires caused by cooking oils and fats – is something that’s unique to this particular type of extinguisher, which is why you will often find them used in commercial restaurants and kitchens. Don’t immediately assume that all wet chemical fire extinguishers can deal with class B fires, however; you should check the front label of the extinguisher or call your provider if you’re not sure.
Where other fire extinguishers’ contents would simply evaporate when faced with a cooking fire, the wet chemical solution contained within a wet chemical fire extinguisher is able to maintain its structure, cool the fire and starve it of oxygen. Utilising an extended lance and hose to direct the extinguishing media prevents the cooking oil from splashing and spreading when applied.
