FAQ about the FE-36 clean-agent extinguisher

What is the FE-36 clean agent?

FE-36 is a clean halocarbon agent that evaporates without leaving residue, unlike dry chemical. It is designed to put out fire without damaging sensitive electronics.

How does it differ from a CO2 extinguisher?

Like CO2, FE-36 is a clean agent, but it does not cause thermal shock to equipment, making it safer for fragile electronics and server rooms.

Can it be used on class A fires?

No, the 4.75 lb model (5BC rating) targets classes B and C. To also cover class A, choose the EXFE13 model (2A-10BC rating).
