The 5kg Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Extinguisher is a clean-agent fire safety device designed to extinguish fires by displacing oxygen and removing heat from the fire triangle. It is especially effective for electrical fires and flammable liquid fires, making it ideal for offices, server rooms, laboratories, and industrial environments.
Unlike dry powder extinguishers, CO2 leaves no residue, making it safe for sensitive electronics and equipment.
