We sell and service Amerex Dry Chemical Class D Fire Extinguishers for metal fires.

The Amerex “soft flow” extension applicator is particularly suited for fighting Class D fires. It allows the operator to avoid the extreme heat and toxic fumes caused by burning material. The easily controlled, even discharge provides a non-dispersing application of the agent. The extension applicator may be quickly detached to provide a straight stream of chemicals where a more excellent range is required.

MODEL 570 contains a unique blended Sodium Chloride-based dry powder extinguishing agent. The heat from the fire causes it to cake and form a crust excluding air and dissipating heat from burning metal. Metal fires involving magnesium, sodium, potassium, and sodium-potassium alloys, zirconium, uranium, titanium, and powdered aluminum.

MODEL 571 contains a copper extinguishing agent developed by the U.S. Navy for fighting lithium and lithium alloy fires. The copper compound smothers the fire and provides an excellent heat sink for dissipating heat. The copper powder is superior to all other known fire-extinguishing agents for lithium.

These EXTINGUISHERS are pressurised using ARGON. Argon is an inert gas that will not react with combustible metals. Nitrogen pressurising gas could cause a reaction when used on certain flammable metal fires. Air pressurising SHOULD NEVER be used, as even the slightest amount of moisture will cause a violent response will Class D Materials.
