BS EN3 Fluorine Free Foam Fire Extinguisher 6L (PSMFZ6/4)

Description

A 6L fluorine-free foam fire extinguisher is a standard and versatile fire extinguisher ideal for professional and home use that does not contains any PFAS or PFOS. It is effective against fires involving Class A (solid materials like wood and paper) and Class B (flammable liquids like grease and oil) fires.

Here are some of the key benefits of a 6L fluorine-free foam fire extinguisher:

• Environmentally friendly: Fluorine-free foams are biodegradable and break down naturally, minimizing harm to the environment.
• Safer for people and animals: These extinguishers are non-toxic and don’t contain chemicals linked to health issues.
• Effective firefighting: They are effective against common fire types in homes and workplaces.
• Easy to use: 6L extinguishers are compact and relatively lightweight, making them easy to handle during a fire emergency.
• Long lifespan: Fluorine-free fire extinguishers typically have a lifespan of around 10 years with proper maintenance.

However, it’s important to note that 6L fluorine-free foam fire extinguishers are not suitable for all types of fires. They are ineffective against Class C (gas) fires and electrical fires. Additionally, the foam can cause some collateral damage and require cleaning up after use.

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a 6L fluorine-free foam fire extinguisher:

• Fire rating: The fire rating specifies the extinguisher’s effectiveness against different fire classes. A typical rating for a 6L fluorine-free foam extinguisher might be 27A 144B, which indicates its ability to extinguish fires involving 27 liters of solid materials and 144 liters of flammable liquids.
• Temperature range: Ensure the extinguisher is suitable for the expected temperature range in your environment.
• Approval ratings: Look for extinguishers with certifications from reputable organizations like UL or BS EN.
