Mechanical Foam Co2 Cartridge Type
A cartridge-operated mechanical foam extinguisher. A CO2 cartridge pressurises the unit on activation and expels AFFF foam, which forms a film across a burning liquid surface to smother it and suppress vapour re-ignition. Effective on Class A and Class B fires, and a practical choice for solvent stores and fuel handling areas where the cartridge design simplifies on-site recharging. Not suitable for live electrical equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cartridge for?
It is the propellant. Piercing the CO2 cartridge pressurises the extinguisher and expels the foam. If the cartridge is spent or under weight, the unit will not discharge — so it is weight-checked at every service.
What makes foam right for solvent stores?
The foam film seals the liquid surface and suppresses vapour, which stops re-ignition. That matters far more on solvent than raw knockdown power.
Is it safe on electrical equipment?
No. Use CO2 or a clean agent for live electrical risk.
