Wet Chemical Type Fire Extinguisher
Overview
Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers are specially designed to fight high-temperature cooking oil and fat fires, making them the ideal choice for commercial kitchens, restaurants, cloud kitchens, hotels and catering facilities. They quickly cool the flames, cut off oxygen supply, and create a protective layer that prevents re-ignition.
Why Wet Chemical Extinguishers Are Important
Commercial kitchens face a unique fire risk due to deep fryers and high-temperature cooking equipment. When oils and fats overheat, they can ignite instantly — and normal extinguishers often make the fire worse.
A Wet Chemical Extinguisher is engineered specifically for these dangerous scenarios. It ensures:
-
Rapid Flame Knockdown: Immediately suppresses Class-K (Class-F) fires.
-
Cooling Effect: Reduces oil temperature fast, preventing re-flash.
-
Complete Surface Sealing: Forms a thick foam layer that smothers fire and blocks oxygen.
-
Enhanced Protection: Minimizes damage to kitchen appliances and surrounding structures.
Suitable For
Wet Chemical Type Fire Extinguishers are ideal for:

How It Works
The extinguisher releases a potassium-based wet chemical agent that reacts with burning oils and fats.
This reaction — known as saponification — turns the burning oil into a soapy layer, instantly cooling and sealing the surface.
This two-step action makes it the most effective solution for high-temperature cooking fires.
