Foam Extinguishers

Foam Extinguishers can tackle Class A and B fires (flammable liquids like petrol, paint, and solvents). They work by creating a cooling film on the surface of the burning material and cutting off the fire's oxygen supply. Foam extinguishers are commonly found in office settings because they provide a good range of fire cover and are cleaner to use compared to powder extinguishers. Foam extinguishers can be safely used on electrical items, provided they have been tested for 35kV and a minimum safety distance of 1 metre is maintained during use.

Our Fire Extinguishers Buying Guide has a wealth of information to help you decide which which fire extinguishers you need to meet your fire safety obligations, along with guidance on fire safety regulations, fire extinguisher maintenance and installation. Remember, all fire extinguishers are provided with a corresponding Extinguisher ID sign for FREE!
