The Amerex 322 5 lb Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Extinguisher provides clean, effective fire suppression without leaving any residue. Discharging as a white cloud of "snow," CO2 smothers fires by eliminating oxygen, making it ideal for protecting sensitive electronic equipment, laboratories, and areas where cleanup after discharge is a critical concern.
Server rooms, data centers, laboratories, clean rooms, museums, libraries, electrical rooms, telecommunications facilities, and any location with sensitive equipment or materials that cannot tolerate residue from traditional extinguishers.
Carbon dioxide extinguishers offer unique advantages:
When discharged, carbon dioxide rapidly expands and cools, creating a white cloud of CO2 "snow" that displaces oxygen around the fire. By removing oxygen from the combustion process, the fire is quickly smothered. The CO2 then dissipates into the atmosphere, leaving no residue, powder, or liquid behind.
Important Safety Note: CO2 extinguishers discharge at extremely cold temperatures (-109°F). Avoid skin contact with the discharge horn during use. CO2 displaces oxygen, so ensure adequate ventilation after use in enclosed spaces. This extinguisher is NOT rated for Class A fires (ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, or cloth).
For Multi-Purpose Protection: If you need protection for Class A fires as well, consider our Amerex ABC Fire Extinguisher models.
