Description
Stored Pressure, Dry Powder, Fire Extinguisher with mounting bracket A 2kg, Dry-Powder extinguisher is best suited for vehicles and topical application in small premises, for combating small, localised fires, perhaps involving live electrical equipment, rubber, plastics, wood, paper or flammable liquid fires. Suitable for use at home, for the kitchen, along with a Fire Blanket and for small boats and vehicles, Dry-Powder extinguishers are a useful means of rapidly 'knocking down' a fire and preveting flames re-igniting. Easy to direct at the base of the fire, Dry Powder extinguishers have very good 'knock-down' characteristics. The powder smothers flames and deprives the fire of oxygen but, unlike Water and foam extinguishers, powder takes out little of the heat of combustion, which makes powder not the best means to extinguishing fires in wood, paper and other solid material that holds great heat. Powder Fire extinguishers leave a mess and, used on engine fires, may cause as much damage as the fire, on bearing component surfaces (see Fire Risk Guidance, in the information section) Especially, it is suitable for use with live electrical equipment and risk from flammable liquid fires: machine and vehicle fires, warehouses, garages and workshops.But 2 Kg is not a lot of fire-fighting power, so you will need to check what Fire rating you need. For significant areas and risks, you will need, perhaps, either more extinguishers or some of larger capacity.
