LIMITED indicates that the extinguishant is not the agent of choice for the class of fire, but that it may have a limited extinguishing capability.
Solvents such as alcohol or acetone mix with water and therefore require special foam
Green text indicates the class or classes in which agent is most effective. |

Eversafe EAD Range: The cylinders are deep drawn from centre welded cold rolled steel and are hydrostatically tested to twice the fire extinguisher working pressure. The hot forged, brass operating valve is fitted with a pressure indicator and incorporates facility to enable 'in service' testing as required by AS 1851.1. Coated with epoxy powder, the cylinder offers corrosion resistance and passes the 480 hours salt spray test.
The EVERSAFE range of dry powder fire extinguishers are charged with specially fluidised and siliconised mono ammonium phosphate powder which offers resistance to compaction where the fire extinguisher is installed in a location subject to vibration and are safe and effective for use on Class A and B fires. Being an electrically non-conductive agent, EVERSAFE dry powder fire extinguishers are also safe to use on fires (Class E) involving equipment carrying live electrical current.

Eversafe EAC Range: Our range of Carbon Dioxide fire Extinguishers are assembled in Australia under and Approved ISO 9001 Quality Management System using Australian Made, light alloy cylinders.
Carbon Dioxide is electrically non-conductive and is therefore ideal for use where electrical hazards exist. Carbon Dioxide fire extinguishers are further suited to risks involving sensitive electronic equipment because, as a clean gas, it will not leave a messy, potentially damaging residue. The 2.0kg model is fitted with a swivel elbow ad conical horn whilst the 3.5 and 5.0kg models are fitted with a hose and horn assembly.
