Why Wet Chemical for Kitchen Fires?

Modern commercial cooking oils burn at extremely high temperatures (up to 700°F). Traditional ABC dry chemical extinguishers can't effectively cool these fires and may cause dangerous splatter. The Amerex B260's wet chemical agent creates a soapy foam blanket that:

• Rapidly cools burning oil below its auto-ignition temperature
• Creates a vapor-suppressing barrier to prevent re-flash
• Reacts with hot cooking oil to form a soapy layer that seals the surface
• Prevents dangerous splatter and spread of burning oil

Code Compliance: Many jurisdictions require Class K fire extinguishers in commercial kitchens. The Amerex B260 helps you meet fire code requirements and protect your staff, customers, and business.

Professional Installation: Mount near cooking equipment but away from potential fire areas. Ensure all kitchen staff are trained on proper use. Always activate your hood suppression system first, then use the extinguisher.
