Extinguishing Agent

Carbon dioxide is an odorless and colorless gas. It weighs about 1.5 times the air; it does not wet, dirty and it does not damage objects. The CO2 used in the extinguishers is 99% pure and it is moisture-less. C02 is compressed in liquid phase inside the high-pressure cylinder. In normal conditions at 20°C, the pressure inside the cylinder is about 55-60 bar and 1 Kg of liquid C02 produces approx 520 liters of vapor gas.

Use

2) Pull out the safety pin from the valve and use the other hand to hold the handle of the horn.

3) Squeeze the upper lever of the valve and aim the jet at the base of the burning material, sweep the extinguishing agent right and left uniformly on the fire, In case of fire of inflammable liquids don’t approach too much. You need trained people to use properly.
