Wet Chemical Kitchen Fire Extinguisher is the most effective and reliable fire safety device for combating dangerous Class K (Class F) cooking oil and grease fires. Designed specifically for commercial kitchens, restaurants, food trucks, industrial cooking areas, cafeterias, catering facilities, and home kitchens with high fire risks, this extinguisher provides powerful suppression using a potassium acetate-based wet chemical agent.
This agent cools, blankets, and emulsifies hot cooking oils, instantly reducing flame temperature while preventing re-ignition. Wet chemical extinguishers are also suitable for Class A fires, making them highly versatile in any cooking environment.
Why Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers Are Essential for Kitchens
Commercial kitchens operate with high-temperature oils and grease. These fires are extremely dangerous and cannot be extinguished using water, foam, CO2, or powder extinguishers.
A wet chemical extinguisher:
- Suppresses high-temperature cooking oils
- Prevents splashing thanks to a gentle spray nozzle
- Forms a cooling and smothering layer over burning oils
- Stops re-ignition through rapid heat absorption
- Is recommended as backup to kitchen fire suppression systems
These extinguishers are widely used to supplement automatic fire suppression systems above stoves, fryers, and grills.
