Between October 5 and 7, Kidde – one of the largest and most respected fire protection companies in the world – is participating in the International Fair of Safety and Protection (FISP) at São Paulo Expo and presenting innovative and technological solutions for residential, data center, automotive, industrial, civil construction, and petrochemical sectors.
One of the highlights will be the TRIO ABC extinguisher (pictured on the side), which fights incipient fires of the three main fire classes A, B, and C in a single product. Weighing only 3.2 kg, it features a compact design, easy handling, and a competitive price. It has arrived to gain space, safety, and modernity.
One of the objectives is to bring greater safety to the user, eliminating the risk of a class A extinguisher being accidentally used for a class C fire, which can result in electric shock with serious injuries to the user. The ABC TRIO reduces the time to fight a incipient fire because the operator does not need to choose the type of extinguisher to be used. It is more economical, easy to operate, weighing only 3.2 kg, and has a one-year warranty. Indicated for commercial and residential buildings.
Currently, most protection projects involving fire extinguishers provide for the use of two extinguishers: one specifically to combat class A fires and another for classes B and C. Projects with these characteristics, despite meeting the standards, can leave doubt when choosing the extinguisher to be used. In addition, the water-based extinguisher has an average total weight of 14 kg, which can hinder the operator's action.
The TRIO ABC extinguisher has arrived to innovate the market, with an extinguishing capacity (2-A: 20B:C) equivalent to conventional designs (see figure below), about 17kg lighter, and still at the same cost level as conventional designs.
Smoke detector unit. In addition to the ABC Trio, Kidde is showcasing its residential line of smoke and Carbon Monoxide CO² detectors at the trade show. Fire produces various types of toxic gases; however, carbon monoxide (CO) is the most common. This gas is odorless, tasteless, and highly toxic, and it can be fatal. Carbon monoxide can also be found in the home through means other than fire. It is present every time you light a gas oven, a barbecue grill, a gas water heater, a fireplace, and oil heaters. Poisoning can occur from a small amount of CO over a long period of exposure or from a large amount of CO over a short period of exposure.
The wireless residential detector is easy to install and uses a special battery with a 10-year lifespan, thus preventing the user from having to replace the battery during this period, ensuring reliable long-term detection.
