SafeQuip Introduces A New Generation Of Disposable Extinguishers
Bringing fire safety closer to home
SafeQuip, a leading distributor of fire-related equipment, 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 Class A, B and C fires, which means it can be used on common combustibles like wood and paper, flammable liquids, and live electrical equipment. Filled with 600 g of general-purpose powder containing 85 percent mono ammonium phosphate, it packs serious firefighting ability into a small, easy to store unit. It fits comfortably into everyday settings such as homes, cars, caravans, and small workshops.
The foam extinguisher is aimed at spaces where cooking and liquid fires are more likely. It is rated for Class A, B and F fires and works especially well on cooking oils and fats. Using a 3 percent AFFF foam agent, it forms a layer over the fire that helps smother flames and reduce the chance of flare ups. 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 small enough to store in cupboards, cars, caravans, or holiday accommodation without getting in the way. As they are disposable, 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 still 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.
These new disposable extinguishers are designed for real life. They are for the places where fires actually start and where quick action counts. Homes, holiday getaways, vehicles, and small offices all benefit from having something simple and reliable within arm’s reach. When time is tight, having the right tool close by can change the outcome completely.
SafeQuip remains dedicated to elevating fire safety standards in South Africa and worldwide, ensuring the effective mitigation all fire risks.
