What is an ABF extinguisher?
An ABF extinguisher is a specific type of extinguisher designed to fight different types of fire, namely Class A, B and F fires. Here's what each class represents:
- Class A: Fires involving solid materials such as wood, paper and textiles.
- Class B: Fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, oil and solvents.
- Class F: Grease and cooking oil fires, often found in commercial kitchens.
ABF extinguisher features :
Labeling: It is clearly labeled as "ABF" to indicate that it can extinguish Class A, B and F fires.
Capacity: Available in different capacities, generally adapted to the environment where they are used, such as commercial kitchens, workshops or offices.
Application: ABF extinguishers are often recommended in kitchens where grease fires can occur, as well as in environments where flammable liquids or combustible solid materials are present.
Training: As with all types of extinguishers, it's crucial that users are trained in their proper use to ensure a safe and effective response to a fire.
ABF extinguishers are therefore versatile and offer an effective solution for a wide range of fire scenarios, combining different agents to meet the specific requirements of different classes of fire.
