Description
5kg carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is a handheld device designed to fight fires, particularly those involving flammable liquids (Class B) and electrical equipment (Class E). It uses CO2 gas to displace oxygen and cool the fire, effectively smothering it. These extinguishers are often chosen for environments with sensitive electronics because they leave behind no residue.
