Fire Extinguishers
Explore our range of fire extinguishers suitable for different fire types, including Class A, B, C, F, D, and lithium risks. All products are available in various sizes with clear specifications and safety guidelines.
Water Plus Additive Extinguisher (Class A)
Water extinguishers are used on fires involving solid-based materials, usually of an organic nature. Combustion usually occurs with glowing embers.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 5 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Size: 6L
- Fire Rating: 27A+
Notes
Higher fire rating eliminates the need to purchase multiple cylinders per fire point, saving cost and improving efficiency. Ideal for indoor or well-ventilated areas.
Materials & Extinguishing Method
ABC Powder Extinguisher (Class ABC & Electrical Equipment)
ABC Powder extinguishers are used on fires involving multiple fire classifications, including Class A, B, and C. They are also suitable for fires involving electrical equipment.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 5 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Available Sizes: 1kg, 2kg, 3kg, 4kg, 6kg & 9kg
Notes
Materials & Extinguishing Method
NotesABC Powder is not recommended for confined indoor spaces unless the risk has been assessed correctly, as the powder can severely hamper visibility when mixed with smoke.
Best suited for outdoor or well-ventilated areas such as garages with roller doors, petrol station forecourts, fuel tankers, vehicles, and outdoor events.
Carbon Dioxide / CO₂ Extinguisher (New)
Carbon dioxide extinguishers are used on fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment. CO₂ removes the oxygen from the fire to suppress it effectively.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 10 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Available Sizes: 2kg & 5kg
Notes
CO₂ extinguishers remove oxygen from the fire. They can be used on flammable liquid fires, but their effectiveness outdoors is reduced as CO₂ disperses quickly in open air.
Recommended mainly for electrical equipment. Always turn off the mains power and unplug equipment before using the extinguisher to prevent re-ignition.
Also commonly used in welding environments.
Materials & Extinguishing Method
Foam / AFFF Extinguisher
Foam/AFFF extinguishers are suitable for Class A (solid materials) and Class B (flammable liquids) fires. They are particularly effective on fuel fires contained within trays or similar enclosures.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 5 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Available Sizes: 1L, 2L, 3L, 6L & 9L
Notes
Although Foam/AFFF extinguishers can be used on Class A fires, they are primarily recommended for tackling flammable liquid (Class B) fires. They work by forming a film and foam blanket over the surface of the liquid, cutting off the oxygen supply and smothering the flames.
Foam/AFFF is most effective when the burning liquid is contained within a tray or similar area, where the foam can spread evenly across the surface. Without such containment, the foam cannot “chase” or suppress the fire as effectively as a dry powder extinguisher.
Fire ratings on Foam/AFFF extinguishers for Class A risks are generally lower than those of water-based extinguishers with additives.
Wet Chemical Extinguisher (Class F)
Wet Chemical extinguishers are specifically designed for fires involving cooking oils and fats. They are essential for kitchens and food preparation areas.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 5 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Available Sizes: 3L & 6L
Notes
Wet Chemical extinguishers are rated based on the surface area of the fire risk. Larger cooking oil risks may require multiple cylinders rather than a single unit.
If the surface area is too large for a handheld extinguisher, a kitchen fire suppression system should be considered instead.
Materials & Extinguishing Method
Lithium / LFX Extinguisher
Lithium / LFX extinguishers are used for fires involving lithium-based products such as batteries. They contain special agents, like Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD), to cool the battery, suppress flames, and prevent re-ignition.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 5 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Available Sizes: 6L & 9L (Special order only)
Notes
Lithium / LFX extinguishers are ideal for car garages and workplaces with high battery usage. They are also effective on Class A fires and safe to use on electrical equipment up to certain voltages.
Materials & Extinguishing Method
Dry Powder (Class D) Extinguisher
Dry Powder extinguishers are designed for fires involving flammable metals. They suppress high-temperature metal fires safely and effectively.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 5 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Available Sizes: 6kg & 9kg (Special order only)
Materials & Extinguishing Method
Refurbished Fire Extinguishers
We now offer a range of fully refurbished fire extinguishers. Old cylinders are professionally overhauled, inspected, re-sprayed, and fitted with new components where required, making them safe, compliant, and eco-friendly. Refurbished extinguishers provide a cost-effective alternative to new units while maintaining the same high standards of fire protection across all extinguisher types.
Carbon Dioxide / CO₂ Extinguisher (Renovated)
Renovated CO₂ extinguishers are supplied once the original 10-year life cycle has passed. The cylinders are refurbished through a full professional process and supplied as cylinder only, allowing reuse of the original swivel horn to reduce cost.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 10 years
- Guaranteed: 1 year
- Available Sizes: 2kg & 5kg
Notes
Renovated cylinders are shot-blasted, re-sprayed, date-stamped, and fitted with a new head assembly. This makes them safe, compliant, and eco-friendly by reusing the cylinder.
The original swivel horn is reused, lowering replacement costs. Recommended mainly for electrical equipment. Always turn off mains power and unplug equipment before use to prevent re-ignition.

Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 5 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Size: 6L
- Fire Rating: 13A
Notes
Higher fire rating eliminates the need to purchase multiple cylinders per fire point, saving cost and improving efficiency. Ideal for indoor or well-ventilated areas, and the stainless steel body offers superior corrosion resistance.( May require more than one cylinder depending on the survey )
Materials & Extinguishing Method
Stainless Steel ABC Powder Extinguisher (Class ABC & Electrical Equipment)

- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Available Sizes: 1kg, 2kg, 3kg, 4kg, 6kg & 9kg
Notes
Stainless steel ABC Powder extinguishers are ideal for outdoor or well-ventilated areas such as garages, petrol station forecourts, fuel tankers, vehicles, and outdoor events. They are not recommended for confined indoor spaces unless risk is fully assessed, as powder can reduce visibility.
Materials & Extinguishing Method
Stainless Steel Carbon Dioxide / CO₂ Extinguisher (New)
Stainless steel CO₂ extinguishers are used on fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment. CO₂ removes the oxygen from the fire to suppress it effectively. The stainless steel body offers enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and a premium aesthetic finish.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 10 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Available Sizes: 2kg & 5kg
Notes
CO₂ extinguishers remove oxygen from the fire and are highly effective on electrical and flammable liquid fires.
Their effectiveness outdoors is reduced as CO₂ disperses quickly in open air.
Recommended mainly for electrical equipment — always switch off mains power and unplug equipment before use to prevent re-ignition.
Commonly used in welding environments, workshops, industrial settings, and plant rooms.
Materials & Extinguishing Method
Stainless Steel Foam / AFFF Extinguisher
Stainless steel Foam/AFFF extinguishers are suitable for use on Class A solid materials and Class B flammable liquids. They are particularly effective on fuel fires contained within trays or containers. The stainless steel finish adds superior corrosion resistance and a premium appearance, making it ideal for modern or high-end environments.
Specifications
- Cylinder Life: 5 years
- Guaranteed: 5 years
- Available Sizes: 1L, 2L, 3L, 6L & 9L
Notes
Foam/AFFF extinguishers are suitable for Class A fires but are most effective on flammable liquid (Class B) fires.
The foam forms a blanket over the liquid surface, cutting off the oxygen supply and smothering the flames.
It is most effective where the burning liquid is contained — such as trays, containers, or shallow spills.
The stainless steel body ensures long life, resilience, and an aesthetic finish suited to commercial and prestigious settings.
