Effective for Electrical Fires: CO2 gas is non-conductive, making this extinguisher ideal for fires involving electrical devices and electronic equipment.
Leaves No Residue: CO2 does not damage equipment or property and requires no cleanup after use.
Safe to Use: CO2 is safe for humans and the environment, but should be used with caution in confined spaces due to its potential to cause suffocation.
Easy to Operate: CO2 extinguishers are simple to use, allowing anyone trained to extinguish small fires effectively.
Uses of CO2 Fire Extinguishers:
Electrical Fires: Ideal for extinguishing fires in computers, TVs, and industrial equipment.
Flammable Liquids: Suitable for fires caused by flammable liquids such as gasoline and kerosene.
Flammable Gases: Can be used to extinguish fires caused by leaking flammable gases.
Important Warnings:
Not for Metal Fires: CO2 extinguishers are ineffective against alkaline metal fires.
Ventilation Required: Do not use CO2 extinguishers in confined spaces without proper ventilation, as it may cause oxygen deficiency and suffocation.
Proper Training Needed: Anyone using a CO2 extinguisher should receive proper training to ensure safe and effective use.
