Some plastics
Other ordinary combustible materials

Why Choose a 4.5kg ABE Fire Extinguisher?
A 4.5kg extinguisher is a popular middle-size option when a smaller vehicle extinguisher may not provide enough capacity but a larger 9kg extinguisher may be unnecessary.
It can be suitable for applications such as:
Homes and garages
Workshops
Offices
Retail premises
Small commercial properties
Warehouses
Vehicles and larger vehicles
Caravans
Boats
Plant and equipment areas
Areas where flammable liquids are present
The correct extinguisher size depends on the fire hazards, risk level, layout and applicable requirements for the premises.
 
4.5kg vs 9kg ABE Fire Extinguisher
Choosing between a 4.5kg and 9kg extinguisher depends on the hazards and level of protection required.
A 4.5kg ABE extinguisher provides a useful balance of capacity and portability and is suitable for many homes, vehicles, workshops, offices and smaller commercial areas.
A 9kg ABE extinguisher provides greater powder capacity and may be more appropriate for larger commercial, industrial or higher-risk environments where the additional capacity is required.
For larger workplaces and commercial premises, extinguisher selection should be based on the site's fire hazards and applicable requirements rather than extinguisher size alone.

Can a 4.5kg ABE Extinguisher Be Used on an Electrical Fire?
An appropriately rated dry chemical powder extinguisher can be used on fires involving energised electrical equipment where the extinguisher's label indicates suitability.
Never use a standard water extinguisher on energised electrical equipment.
If electrical equipment is involved, isolate the electrical supply if this can be done safely and without exposing yourself to additional danger.
 
Read our detailed guide: Fire Extinguisher for Electrical Fire: CO2 vs ABE.
Can a 4.5kg ABE Extinguisher Be Used on Cooking Oil?
A standard ABE dry chemical powder extinguisher should not be considered the primary choice for a cooking-oil or deep-fryer fire.
Cooking oils and fats present a specific fire hazard and require an appropriate extinguisher and firefighting method.
Do not use water on a cooking-oil fire because it can cause burning oil to spread violently.
 
Fire Extinguisher Safety
Only attempt to extinguish a fire when:
The fire is small and contained
You have the correct type and rating of extinguisher
You have a clear escape route
You know how to operate the extinguisher
It is safe to approach the fire
If the fire is spreading, producing heavy smoke, threatening people or property, or you are unsure whether it is safe to fight, evacuate and call 000.
Never put yourself at risk trying to save property.
