Saw this selling at Homefix at Rm188 for two bottles.
It says for class A and B fires so it's not for fire involving oils and fats like in a kitchen fire but the picture shows it been use in the kitchen. Leaves no messy residue.

Amazing thing is this is what it says -

"HYPREX contents are mainly of water ( 95%+ ) and our patented Nano plant extracts additive. The additive alters ordinary water's fundamental properties, breaks up the surface tension and the molecular binding forces to make it more "liquid " ( lower viscosity ).

HYPREX is ultra effective in putting out fire rapidly as it penetrates deeper, spread out wider into a thin sheet to cool burning surfaces faster."




Anyone tried or bought it?
Rm188 for mainly water content

seems quite difficult for liquid based fires.

How many is the contain? kg.

Seem expensive. Get the ordinary cheaper for higher contain. And the normal 1 can refill somemore.

Back to 18yrs ago, did brought similar like HYPREX outlook. Macam spray mosquito. But it is white powder.

The problem is, it got expired date. After few yrs, you got to throw away if didn't use. The pressure will drop and the contain no more effective.

Ya never think of that. Dunno can expire or not.
Size is like those mosquito spray but slightly bigger

Maybe can try this

http://www.bonex-asean.com/

Sure got expire 1. Cause most of the thing cannot hold gas pressure for long. Slowly will leak out.

With my experience with such can spray and expired short date, not worth to buy. Even expired, I still keep for 10yrs. Lastly try it out and the pressure is low. Throw it away.

Better get the refill type which you can refill back if pressure drop. Not expensive also the refill. And it have a gauge to check the pressure. Which the can type don't have.

Here, safety product is not cheap. You need to get something that last long. That most of the time don't use at all.

Yo, this weekend, got something like home expo. Maybe got sale on fire extinguisher. Regret last time didn't buy when they offer RM80. 2day ago, check at ACE MV, cost RM122.

not bad

the ones they usually sells, leaves a white powdery mess

That is 1 of the reason that I didn't buy last time. I look for another type without powder. But no where can find and quite expensive.

CO2, and powder wipe different type of fires source. Have to know they type of fire source. Usually house are more on oil, and kitchen that are better with powder type.

If you have heavy electronic equipment, need to invest in fire suppression system

You do tai chow with big fire better have two extinguisher on standby 😂

I think just settle for powder type will do. Cheaper to store.

We don't use it anyway.

For house use, get CO2 type, dry powder need to be checked once every year. Also, dry powder are quite messy

Try the AF11E!

Look very effective. But RM300 for a 0.6kg size.

i bought cheap one at mr.diy rm10 only. never try it though. usable within 3 years period only.

the original item is called bonpet. saw it once in the 90s.. dunno who selling it in malaysia



1-2seconds and it's out.. even oil fires.

I think there's a local distributor. I bought it long ago from a diver friend who knows them. Warranty is 10 years. Back then it was cheaper.
www.t-ecotech.com/af11e_n.html

any recommended shop to get fire extinguishers? more focused on electrical/dry fire. also interested in fire blanket. Thanks!

This topic make me realize that, it doesn't matter what type. As long as it can extinguisher the fire and cheap is good enough. We

1) most probably don't use it at all. With a short expired time, money fly. So get a cheap powder will do.
2) Fire already cause your thing damage. It already in a messy. Having powder on it doesn't matter anyway. You still have to clean it up everything without the powder.
3) Most of this expensive small and high tech fire extinguisher have no gauge to check. If it defect and lost pressure, we don't no. When the time need it, press and nothing happen. Get a normal 1 with a gauge to check pressure is much more safe. It is call self check safety device.
4) cheaper cost can buy more to place in your home. Rather an expensive 1 set.

Safety product here are freaking expensive. 1 of the reason why people don't buy such thing for their home.

Ex. My wife get cons from saleman and brought a smoke alarm for Rm350. I brought a smoke alarm from oversea for just RM130. And much more function.

im planning to buy aerosol type from mr diy for my kitchen and my car
yeah very cheap price but dont know how long before its losing pressure
it may very loooong in storage mode
just precaution dont know where disaster will happen

and i love to have type with release pin lock & gauge meter
but lack of info the shop for refill the pressure really a drawback

anyone here know how long for maximum pressure can hold for aerosol type like mr diy?

There have expiry date printed on it.

im more worried on electrical fire, which should i get? budget around RM100?

Saw this before and this should be water base form type (AFFF) form is to fight oil and petrol fire, and it is green products too.

1. Flamebeater
This small fire extinguisher cost about RM30+, from the video seems okay.

2. Flammart 1.0kg Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher
This normal 1kg ABC powder type cost RM90+...

Will powder very dirty if use?

this is not bad as well - First Alert Tundra

Got those leftover which seems wont disappear by itself.. whether easy to clean it or not, no idea.

This thing if sell here will cost RM80-100.

How to buy ?

Vacuum lor.

This fire extinguisher cost US$15 and below in US. Here crazy price.

I suggest gov should give free tax and subsidies safety equipment. That encourage people to have safety device in their home.

Safety equipment here is too expensive and out of reach for most of the people.

you should have sapu a few at Home Depot

Didn't notice got this thing. And not sure will allowed on the plane.

I brought a smoke and CO detector for RM120. If get here, cost RM300+. And just a smoke detector without CO detector.

See ngam you or not?

Already have 2 set smoke detector for my home.

Looking for fire extinguisher. But I just get the powder type. Cheaper.

powder type - use already, all your barang can throw
cannot be clean off wan

From my history record, the chance of using it is 0.00000001%.

I pay less like RM80 for 10yrs expired. That only cost me RM8/yrs sitting in my home. And I can refill it.

Rather those expensive short lifespan type.

you got a point

If you keep looking at cheap non powder type, you won't get 1.

I have same thinking as you with the messy clean. Now I wakeup.

I realize, safety equipment here are not cheap.

a wise decision i'd say..

for home use i suggest at least put one in house (1kg - 3kg powder type)
or extra one in kitchen..
some say use CO2 type for less mess, but personally i dont prefer it because it is heavier..
if u have the budget get some smoke detectors and fire blanket..

reminder to others, in case of fire make sure to point extinguisher at the base of fire to put it off quick..

bought 5 of this during the homedec fair last monthat 5 bottles its bout 70 each , only downside is the expiry date, the sales say its because the can looses pressure over time, and thats the thing bout it, even those powder type needs to check pressure annually ... by law if business use

the thing which is good bout it is that its small and can keep in car ...

safety wise, keep one in car and home lah ...

I experience such type back 16yrs ago. That's why not to get this back again.

One of the main problem is, if you forget to keep track the expired date and want to use it that time, no pressure. Cause it don't have a gauge to see.

Powder type at least have a gauge to know the pressure and take it to refill. It is like double safe.

good point

my boss also nearlee got con.
someone selling a 1kg ABC extinguisher for Rm298 !!!
the brand is OSafe

btw anyone getting smoke detectors/fire alarms - beware that ionization types are not that good. you want the photoelectric type
get a combo

Good to know.

Yes, photoelectric detects smoke of smouldering fires quickly. Large or multi story dwellings, get those that can sambung together so that the detecting alarm can trigger the rest to sound. Some security alarm system also has fire alarm module.

Beware those give fire prevention talk.

They come and give advise. Than try to sell all this fire equipment for crazy price.

I shoot them when they said cheap and should get wan.

I told them the gov should give subsidy for such important thing to help all the people own it. And you guys sell it damn expensive. How an ordinary household afford it. Tell them how fire kill and must have this thing. At the sametime ripoff people with crazy price.

Try search in lelong, good one from paradox around RM 400+-, while the standalone around rm 50 - 150

Not sure what type I m using.

Have the combo type and a normal type.

The combo can detect smoke and carbon monoxide.

I just learn that CO2 fire extinguisher can kill people. With a direct blow on the guys, can suffocated them.

That got me an idea for home security purpose. I don't need to close confront with the thief. Use the CO2 fire extinguisher as a weapon to shot on them. That should keep me some safe distance from them. This is good use for the lady too.

Must get 1.

yup it was one of those fire prevention talk

that need to direct to them more than 2-3 mins

How long the house co2 tank last?

Probably 2kg discharge for 10sec.

That enough suffocated him. Not necessary to kill him.

At least for girl, they don't need to close contact to defend.

For me, my parang is ready.

Last sunday I went to IPC and found that they came out with a new packaging. According to the sales person, the date below is actually the warranty date and they provide one to one change if there is problem. I bought 5 units from Ace Hardware last week and the product is quite satisfying. Can feel the quality difference from those cheep fire extinguisher.

What kind of feel ? By hand squeezing it ?

How do I find out the problem in order to get it change ? When the time fire and squeeze the can but nothing come out ?
