The Wet Chemical unit is a portable fire extinguisher ideally suited for restaurants and kitchens where there is a risk of fat fires.  Wet Chemical Extinguishers are specifically designed to tackle Class F fires involving cooking oils and fat. The obvious place to keep or store them is in kitchens and restaurants where cooking oils are commonly used.

It is the only type of extinguisher that should ever be used on kitchen fires. They work by instigating a chemical reaction with fats and oils. This reaction reduces the temperature and eliminates the heat aspect of the fire triangle, causing blazes to die down.

Wet chemical fire extinguishers have been proven safe for use on Class A fires containing solid materials but their effectiveness in tackling such blazes isn’t as good as other available types of extinguisher.

Wet chemical extinguishers may give off toxic fumes in the chemical reaction process which can continue to linger long after a fire has been put out. Because of this, all rooms should be well ventilated and aired out after an extinguisher has been operated.

The obvious alternative to wet chemical fire extinguishers are fire blankets. They are also designed with kitchen fires in mind. It is vital that businesses which operate with cooking oils and fats have both of these products to make sure that the workplace is as safeguarded as possible.
