WET CHEMICAL - Wet chemical extinguishers are specifically designed to tackle cooking oil and deep fat fryer fires – Class E fires. They can also be used on class A fires (solid materials

FIRE BLANKETS - The essential performance requirements of a fire blanket is to extinguish a cooking oil fire (as detailed in B5 EN 1869:1997). Therefore the blanket must be flexible with good draping qualities to eliminate oxygen from the burning oil – allow the oil to cool gradually to below its self-ignition temperature ant re-ignite when the blanket is removed after 17 minutes. All the fire blanket s that we supply and fit meet these requirements and are available in a variety of sizes to suite the individual requirements needed.
