CheckFire announces compact 3-litre PFAS-free fire extinguisher for versatile protection

CheckFire Ltd has introduced a 3-litre enviroFoam fire extinguisher, adding to its CommanderEDGE fluorine-free extinguisher line.

As reported by CheckFire, this compact unit complements the existing 6-litre and 9-litre models in the range, marking the full completion of the PFAS-free series.

Designed for smaller environments, the 3-litre extinguisher holds a 13A 70B fire rating, ensuring effective protection against various fire risks without the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

The enviroFoam range has achieved certification under the BS EN3 Kitemark, recognised internationally for quality and performance.

The 3-litre model aligns with the high standards seen in the other units, offering reliable fire protection suitable for diverse applications, including industrial and manufacturing environments.

Legislative changes drive demand for PFAS-free solutions

The timing of this release aligns with impending legislative measures, including an EU ban on PFAS substances set for 2030.

CheckFire’s enviroFoam range, free of fluorinated compounds, addresses the need for sustainable fire protection alternatives ahead of these changes.

According to CheckFire, this addition is a response to increasing demand for environmentally friendly options in fire safety, particularly as awareness and regulatory measures regarding PFAS grow.

The 6-litre and 9-litre enviroFoam extinguishers in the range already offer notable fire ratings of 27A 144B and 34A 183B, respectively.

The new 3-litre extinguisher upholds these performance standards, providing a compact solution for smaller areas while maintaining consistent, high-quality protection.

Performance-focused PFAS-free fire safety

CheckFire’s new 3-litre extinguisher reflects the company’s commitment to high performance without environmental compromise.

The enviroFoam range is identifiable by the Green Crosshair symbol, signifying its PFAS-free design and focus on sustainable solutions.

The extinguisher’s compact design suits various environments, addressing both small-scale commercial needs and industrial requirements.

The new model reinforces CheckFire’s position in the fire safety industry, particularly as it meets the need for sustainable fire suppression equipment that does not compromise safety standards.

Cameron Robins, managing director of CheckFire, commented on the launch: “The introduction of the 3-litre unit completes our enviroFoam Fluorine-Free Foam Fire Extinguisher range and strengthens our commitment to providing sustainable, PFAS-free fire safety solutions.

“As legislation surrounding PFAS continues to tighten globally, businesses are looking for alternatives that meet both environmental and safety standards.

“Our enviroFoam range is designed to exceed those expectations, offering superior performance and peace of mind.”

Options for diverse fire safety needs

With this addition, CheckFire now provides a range of enviroFoam extinguishers suitable for various applications where Class B fire risks exist.

This product line addresses safety requirements in industrial warehouses, manufacturing sites, laboratories, and other environments where chemical-free fire suppression is increasingly prioritised.

CheckFire’s approach anticipates future environmental regulations, providing businesses with solutions that align with both current standards and forthcoming legislative shifts.

The 3-litre enviroFoam extinguisher serves as a versatile option for those requiring compact fire safety solutions in settings that adhere to sustainable practices.
