ABC or MULTI-PURPOSE extinguishers utilize a specially fluidized and siliconized mono-ammonium phosphate dry chemical. It chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350°F and coats surface where it is applied. It smothers and breaks the chain reaction of Class B fires and will not conduct electricity back to the operator.
MODEL B570 contains a special blended sodium-chloride-based dry powder extinguishing agent. 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 can be successfully extinguished with this extinguisher. There is data showing that zirconium, uranium, titanium, and powdered aluminum fires can be controlled and extinguished with this unique extinguisher.
CARBON DIOXIDE is discharged as a white cloud of “snow,” which smothers a fire by displacing oxygen. It is effective for Class B flammable liquids and is electrically non-conductive. Carbon Dioxide is a clean, non-contaminating, odorless gas.

HALOTRON® I clean fire extinguishing agent discharges as a rapidly evaporating liquid, which is non-conductive, noncorrosive, and leaves behind no residue. Halotron® I is the clean agent market leader with a history of successful real-world protection of valuable assets. From model-scale aircraft to wide-body commercial aircraft, from data centers to pharmaceutical and other industrial plants, the Halotron® I agent has been used to extinguish the fire, limit damage, and help reduce downtime that can be caused by other agents.
HIGH-FLOW portable fire extinguishers are for applications where discharge rates exceeding one pound per second are required as specified in NFPA 10. These extinguishers utilize the same hardware and are manufactured to the same UL specifications as Amerex compliance-rated products.
MODEL 551 Once exclusive to the aerospace industry, the high performing HT-Series for commercial settings can safely put out fires without damaging electronic equipment, specialized machinery, or other delicate materials. That also means that there is no clean-up or down time for your operations.
HALOTRON® BrX (2-BTP) Amerex provides a unique solution for Halon 1211 replacement. These extinguishers utilize Halotron® BrX to fulfill the next generation of aviation extinguisher requirements. BrX has a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and very low Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) clean agent approved for use on commercial aircraft. The extinguishers are constructed of lightweight aluminum valves and cylinders (Model 351 uses a steel cylinder). Models 349 and 351 include a hose that allows the operator greater flexibility for utilization in tight spaces. Amerex is the solution for the aviation portable extinguisher needs.
WET CHEMICAL extinguishers are the best restaurant kitchen appliance hand-portable fire extinguishers you can purchase. Each model utilizes a specially blended potassium acetate base agent and has been tested and approved by UL for restaurant kitchen hazards. The recent trend to more efficient cooking appliances and use of vegetable-based cooking oils dictates the use of a hand-portable fire extinguisher with greater fire-fighting capacity and cooling effect to combat these very hot and difficult fires.
MODEL 240 utilizes the cooling, soaking, and penetrating effect of a 45- to 55-foot stream of WATER. The 55-second discharge time makes it very effective for inexperienced operators for use on Class A fires that include combustibles such as wood, cloth, paper, and many plastics. This extinguisher is constructed with a chrome-plated brass valve and polished stainless steel cylinder, which helps eliminate corrosion.
WATER MIST is the ultimate extinguisher for Class A fires and for locations where potential Class C (electrical) hazards exist. The fine spray from the unique misting nozzle provides safety from electrical shock, greatly enhances the cooling and soaking characteristics of the agent, and reduces scattering of burning materials. The Amerex Water Mist extinguishers contain deionized water (sold separately), making them the best extinguishers for protection of hospital environments, telecommunication facilities, and “clean room” manufacturing facilities. The Amerex Water Mist extinguishers are easy to use, maintain, and service.
PURPLE K extinguishers contain specially fluidized and siliconized potassium bicarbonate dry chemical that is particularly effective on Class B flammable liquids, pressurized gases, and Class C electrical fires. It is electrically nonconductive. PURPLE K has been the choice of oil, gas, chemical, and utilities industries as the preferred fire-fighting agent.
Z-Series extinguishers are the ultimate choice in fire extinguishers for high hazard, frequent use, and extreme environment applications. They are economical—less initial cost, lower maintenance costs, and greater reliability than cartridge-operated extinguishers. Amerex Z-Series extinguishers are available with a proprietary, zinc-enriched coating that resists corrosion for up to 12 years in severely salt-contaminated environments.
