- Monnex powder is also non-conductive
Britannia Fire introduced Monnex, a specialist, high-performance dry powder for high-risk industrial settings.
Monnex powder is non-conductive and rapidly extinguishes Class B and Class C fires. It works differently from standard dry powder, breaking into smaller particles in intense heat, which increases its surface area and coverage to extinguish fires quickly and more efficiently.
Britannia Fire’s P50 Monnex fire extinguishers are ideal for high-risk sites, including petrochemical plants, airports, fuel depots, power stations and manufacturing facilities. They are also particularly suitable for isolated, offshore locations such as ships or oil and gas facilities.
All P50S are environmentally-friendly and fully recyclable with a 20-year life span and a 10-year guarantee. Unlike traditional, metal fire extinguishers, they don’t require costly external annual servicing. Instead, simple checks can be carried out by a responsible person.
Andy Spence, Managing Director of Britannia Fire, said: “High-risk industrial sites need fire protection that performs instantly and reliably in extreme conditions. The launch of our P50 Monnex extinguisher gives operators a specialist solution that delivers rapid knock-down on flammable liquid and gas fires, while also reducing long term maintenance and environmental impact.
“By combining Monnex’s exceptional firefighting performance with the durability and service-free benefits of the P50 composite range, we can help customers improve safety, resilience and costs in some of the most challenging sites in the world.”
