🔸 What Makes CO2 4.5kg Fire Extinguisher Different?

The CO2 4.5kg fire extinguisher uses carbon dioxide gas stored under high pressure. When discharged, the gas:

• Displaces oxygen around the fire

• Reduces heat rapidly

• Interrupts the combustion process

Because CO2 is non-conductive, it is one of the safest extinguishing agents for electrical fires.
