GUARDEX CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHING AGENT

Guardex is a Potassium salt based, low pH valued fire extinguishing agent, which is used in case of fire caused by the cooking fat used for all types of frying, cooking, grilling and baking equipments.

It is especially effective on fat and oil surfaces. Guardex generates an extinguishing and a fireproof layer on the surface it discharges. The layer, Guardex generates, is removable without any need of a cleaner after use. The whole area applied, can be poured with water or a vapourization machinery.
