CO2 Fire Extinguisher. CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Fire Extinguisher is an essential safety device designed for tackling electrical fires and flammable liquid fires (Class B). Known for its clean extinguishing action, it leaves no residue, making it ideal for offices, server rooms, workshops, commercial buildings, and industrial sites.
These extinguishers are built with CE-marked components, aluminium or alloy-steel cylinders, and a powder-coated, corrosion-resistant finish to ensure long-lasting durability and reliable performance.
Features of CO2 Fire Extinguishers
- CE-certified construction
- Aluminium or alloy steel cylinders
- Powder-coated corrosion-resistant surface
- Suitable for electrical fires and Class B flammable liquid fires
- Leaves no powder residue—safe for sensitive equipment

How to Use a CO2 Fire Extinguisher Safely and Effectively
Using a CO2 extinguisher correctly is crucial to ensure safety and maximum fire suppression efficiency.
1. Hold the Extinguisher Upright
Position the extinguisher upright, either by holding it or placing it securely on the ground at a safe distance from the fire.
2. Remove the Safety Pin
Pull out the safety pin and break the tamper seal to prepare the extinguisher for use.
3. Lift and Aim the Horn
Swivel and lift the discharge horn. Direct it at the base of the fire or at the electrical equipment that is burning.
⚠ Avoid holding the horn, even frost-free types, because it can become extremely cold and may cause frostbite.
4. Squeeze the Handle
Slowly squeeze the handle to release the CO2 gas. Sweep the horn across the flames.
5. Move Closer as Fire Reduces
As the fire begins to die down, cautiously move closer while continuing to direct the CO2 at the base.
6. Use the Full Contents
Always empty the extinguisher completely to prevent re-ignition. Monitor the area afterward to ensure the fire does not restart.
Safety Reminder
Use a CO2 extinguisher only for small and manageable fires.
If the fire is spreading or too powerful:
- Evacuate immediately
- Alert everyone nearby
- Call the fire and rescue service
Safety should always be your priority.
A CO2 fire extinguisher is a critical tool for handling electrical and flammable liquid fires. With clean discharge, high pressure, corrosion-resistant materials, and proven effectiveness, it is suitable for offices, data centers, workshops, industrial sites, commercial buildings, and various high-risk environments.
