Suitable for Class B Fires

Effective against fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, paints, solvents, lubricants, and fuel storage materials.

Suitable for Class C Fires

Designed for fires involving combustible gases including LPG, CNG, methane, propane, and industrial gases.

Safe for Electrical Fires

The non-conductive nature of Carbon Dioxide makes it ideal for energized electrical equipment and sensitive electronics.

Residue-Free Fire Suppression

CO₂ leaves no powder, foam, or water residue after discharge, minimizing equipment damage and cleanup costs.

Extended Discharge Performance

Provides approximately 30 seconds of discharge time and a discharge range of around 4 meters for larger fire hazards.
