AMEREX Class D Metal Fire Extinguishers
A Class D fire extinguisher is used on combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, sodium, etc., which require an extinguishing medium that does not react with the burning metal.
These EXTINGUISHERS are pressurised using ARGON. Argon is an inert gas that will not react with combustible metals. We have a 15-20 days lead time on those.
