Now Renting: Class D Fire Extinguishers from SFTY
Did you know that not all fires can be safely put out with water or standard extinguishers?
Class D fire extinguishers are specifically designed for fires involving combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, sodium, potassium, and lithium. These materials are often found in industrial, manufacturing, and laboratory settings.
These metals can burn at extremely high temperatures and can react violently with water or CO₂, which makes specialized protection essential. Class D extinguishers use a dry powder agent that forms a crust over the burning metal. This crust absorbs heat and smothers the flames by cutting off oxygen.
If your workplace handles combustible metals, having the right extinguisher on hand is not just smart, it is critical for safety.
Reach out to SFTY today to learn more or to rent Class D extinguishers for your facility.
