Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers: A New Innovation
What Are Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers?
In the fire protection industry, wet chemical fire extinguishers are a relatively new invention used to target cooking appliances. Appliances such as deep fat fryers make up a considerable percentage of fire accidents in the workplace which is why the invention of the wet chemical fire extinguisher is such a game changer. The solution produced from these extinguishers cools and emulsifies once coming into contact with burning fats and oils, thus sealing the surface and preventing the fire from reigniting.
In this blog post we at Fire Protection Services (FPS) are going to take a look at how these fire extinguishers are used.
