Clean, Residue-Free Protection for Electrical Fire Risks

When a fire starts in a switchboard, computer or piece of machinery, the last thing you want is a cloud of powder coating sensitive equipment. The 5kg CO2 fire extinguisher Perth uses carbon dioxide gas to displace oxygen and smother the fire, then simply disperses into the air, leaving nothing to clean up and no residue on circuit boards, wiring or stock.

That makes it the preferred extinguisher for electrical rooms, IT spaces and commercial kitchens’ electrical equipment across Perth businesses.

Which Fires Is CO2 Rated For?

  • Class B – flammable and combustible liquids such as petrol, diesel, solvents, paints and oils
  • Class E – fires involving energised electrical equipment, including switchboards, computers, servers, motors and appliances

Not recommended for: Class A fires (wood, paper, fabric), where CO2 can knock flames down but may not prevent re-ignition, and Class F cooking oil and fat fires. Pair it with an ABE powder, water or wet chemical extinguisher to cover those risks.

Where to Use a 5kg CO2 Extinguisher

  • Electrical switchboards and plant rooms
  • Server rooms, data cabinets and IT areas
  • Offices with computers, printers and electronics
  • Workshops, mechanical and manufacturing areas
  • Laboratories and electrical test areas
  • Retail and hospitality spaces with high-value equipment

How to Use a CO2 Extinguisher Safely

  1. Pull the safety pin
  2. Aim the horn at the base of the fire
  3. Squeeze the handle
  4. Sweep side to side across the fire

Safety tips:

  • Hold the horn by its handle only. The discharge horn becomes extremely cold and can cause frost burns.
  • CO2 displaces oxygen. After use in a small or enclosed room, leave and ventilate the area before re-entering.
  • Watch for re-ignition once the gas disperses, and call 000 if the fire continues.

Servicing and Compliance with NeonSafety
