Wet chemical fire extinguishers
Wet chemical extinguisher products, or foam from extinguishers, will vaporise from the heat in cooking fires, but the gentle application of a wet chemical solution, via a mist type nozzle and extended lance, creates a layer which starves the fire of oxygen. When using a wet chemical fire extinguisher, the entire contents of the unit should be deployed to help cool the solution and prevent re-ignition.
At TVF, we can supply, install, and maintain wet chemical fire extinguishers for businesses local to us in High Wycombe, Watford, and Slough. We’re also backed by the LS Fire Group, meaning we can provide our services nationwide with the help of our partner brands.
What is a wet chemical fire extinguisher used for?
Spraying a wet chemical mist onto the fire to suppress the flames, wet chemical fire extinguishers are crucial in fighting Class A, B, and F fires. These fire extinguishers are ideal for kitchens, restaurants, and other cooking environments where fat or oil fires are likely, as they avoid splashing and spreading the liquid.
Wet chemical extinguishers have a yellow label and can be used as a Class A fire extinguisher, Class B fire extinguisher, or a Class F extinguisher.
It’s important to note that not all wet chemical fire extinguishers will be suitable for B Class fires, so be sure to check the front label on the extinguisher, or speak to a professional for guidance.
