A: Our products have passed stringent quality requirements by Taiwan National Standard Inspection Bureau ( Central standard Inspection Bureau). The aluminum alloy cylinder and the nozzle of reinforced plastic can withstand the heat over 125 degree Celsius. In addition it has passed the vibration test (of 2,000 C/minute for 8 hours continuously). Our R&D department designed pressure release safety valve is installed and the comprehensive testing conducted by professional personnel on regular basis; safety of our products is of our utmost concern and is ensured.
- Q: Which type or category these fire extinguishers belongs to?
A: Our fire extinguishers are classified as “Aqueous film forming foam type fire extinguisher”. In accordance with the requirements of U=USA UL and Factory Mutual standards, it will not cause any pollution or damage to the environment.
- Q: Why the vehicles should be equipped with your fire extinguishers?
A: It is the general trend in many countries that vehicles to be equipped with fire extinguishers In order to deal with any fire emergencies; this idea has been implemented for many years in some western countries. Mainland China is aggressively pursuing a new law which will require the car owners to equip their cars with fire extinguishers. Our fire extinguisher is one of the best performing fire extinguisher in the market to put out Class B fires without causing any damage to the vehicles while on the other hand the dry chemical powder fire extinguisher will corrode the metal portion of engines and will cause performance deterioration and shorten the life of a car. Our environment friendly, non-toxic and easy-to-use fire extinguisher makes it an ideal choice for all types of vehicles.
- Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of Halon fire extinguishers?
The environmental problem on the planet earth is a major crisis for human beings.
- The ozone (O3) around atmosphere is a pale blue gas with slightly pungent smell; it can absorb ultraviolet rays in the sunlight to shield the earth and its living organisms.
- Damage to zone layer is severe by so-called “Freon” Fluorine chlorine carbide. a special class of chemical compounds that are used as refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and solvents. As such products cause enormous damage to the ozone layer our government has banned the import of CFC-related products since January 1st 1996.
- Halon fire extinguisher will not leave any residue after putting out the fire. Halon fire extinguishers are portable (hand held) or wheel type with red or green appearance. Once the concentrate of Halon fire extinguisher is discharged the speed with which it destroys the ozone layer is 10 ~ 16 times compared with other fluorine chlorine carbon products. The bromide is even up to 40 ~100 times.
- Halon fire extinguisher agent will cause dizziness and asphyxia if not handled properly. It may cause serious chemical burns or frostbite if physical contact with gas occurs , combined with the strong flame it may produce stimulating, corrosive or poisonous gas and may cause sever injuries or death.
- Q: What is the impact of a chemical dry powder fire extinguisher on human body and the environment?
- It is observed in relevant reports that the chemical dry powder fire extinguisher causes injuries to human body. It works by inhibiting, suffocating and covering the fire. It is composed of sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate. The scope of application is wider; it is cheaper but possibly conductive.
- The major draw back is that it is difficult to clean after use and easily causes environmental pollution, creates a poor visibility environment and make it difficult to escape or find an exit while using, Once inhaled it is difficult to get rid of, will cause allergies and damage to respiratory system, it may cause serious cough, breathing difficulties and/or fainting.
- In subtropical zones due to the moist climate the dry powder inside the fire extinguisher become lumpy rendering it unable to discharge quickly and efficiently results in slower fire extinguishing.
- Q: Can your products 900cc and 3000cc be recycled or refilled?
A: Technically speaking Yes,They can be refilled however according to Taiwan’s fire fighting act the fire extinguisher 900cc and 3000cc can't be refilled however for local consumers our company offers an exchange program to recycle 900cc and 3000cc fire extinguishers and replace old with new ones whether or not it is used or not used by the expiry date as mentioned on the cylinder.
- Q: How your fire extinguishers have changed the concept of fire fighting?
- Our fire extinguisher is corporately developed with a prestigious Industry Technology Research Institute (Academia Sinica of Taiwan) and took 5 years of research.
- At present there are about 80% of fire extinguishers on the market are chemical dry powder type since there is no other advanced fire extinguisher developed after World War II but nonetheless this powder based fire extinguisher did brings some help to the mankind.
Later, the foam type fire extinguisher developed but it is quite inconvenient to use and had poor extinguishing capability. In order to enable the agent to be effective it requires the cylinder to be turned upside down and shaken before use. It is the major disadvantage of foam fire extinguisher.
After the Foam type the CO2 fire extinguishers were developed but failed to impress and proved not to be very efficient in extinguishing the fires besides the release of gas causes frostbite on human body, asphyxia and burn back.
- Halon fire extinguisher or its substitute used to dominate the fire extinguisher market for a while but causes serious environmental damage and permanent injury to humans which can not be reversed.
- As mentioned above, the pros and cons of each fire extinguisher can be easily identified. With the advantage of our product which is nontoxic, harmless to human body and eco friendly and with the best fire extinguishing capability there is no other fire extinguishers on the market can compete with our product.
- Q: What is the shelf life of your fire extinguisher?
A: Our fire extinguishers are good for 10 years from the date of manufacture.
