SafeQuip is addressing one of the most common fire safety failures: access.
Too often, extinguishers are locked away, poorly maintained, or simply not close enough when a small fire starts. SafeQuip’s latest product launch introduces two compact, disposable fire extinguishers designed for fast response, minimal upkeep, and everyday use.
The new 0.6 kg Disposable Dry Chemical Powder Fire Extinguisher and the 0.6 L Disposable Foam Fire Extinguisher offer a simpler option for everyday spaces. They are lightweight, non-refillable, and require no servicing, which removes one of the biggest barriers to proper fire protection in homes, vehicles, and small workplaces.
The dry chemical powder extinguisher is suitable for common combustibles like wood and paper, flammable liquids, and live electrical equipment.
The foam extinguisher is aimed at spaces where cooking and liquid fires are more likely. It works especially well on cooking oils and fats. One of its biggest advantages is clean up. Foam leaves far less residue than powder, which makes it a better choice for kitchens and food prep areas. It should not be used on live electrical equipment and is not suitable for Class C fires (energised electrical equipment fires).
Both extinguishers share the same compact size and a full mass of 732 g. They are disposable and there is no need for pressure testing, refilling, or routine servicing. When the unit reaches the end of its life or has been used, it is simply replaced.
Understanding fire classes matters
Class A covers everyday solid materials. Class B relates to flammable liquids. Class C involves energised electrical equipment. Class F applies to cooking oils and fats. Choosing the right extinguisher for the space you are protecting makes a real difference, especially when electricity is involved. SafeQuip’s clear labelling helps take the guesswork out of that decision.
