How Wet Chemical Extinguishers Work?
Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher contains a solution of potassium which effectively attacks the flame in two methods:
1st the mist cools the fire and lowers the temperature to stop the fire spreading, also prevents splashing of the hot oils/fat.
2nd the potassium salts react with the hot oil and causes the process opf saponification, coating the surface of the cooking oil or fat in soapy foam that is non-combustible and acts as a barrier between the fat and oil.
Kitchen type fire extinguishers use a clean agent as an extinguishing agent. This ensures that no residue is left behind after use and you can remain hassle-free about the same. These K class fire extinguishers are designed in a way to provide quick and targeted action during a kitchen fire.
