Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas that is heavier than air with a boiling point of –56 C° and a freezing point of –78 C°. It has a cooling and suffocating effect on fire. CO2 smothers the oxygen that the fire depends on and settles like a "blanket" over the flames.

- Efficiency class: 34B
- Wall mount included.
- Applications: Industry, public environments, food industry, large kitchens, data centers, laboratories, hospitals, paint shops, and chemical industry. Carbon dioxide extinguishes without residue and is therefore particularly suitable in premises with valuable mechanical or electronic equipment. Also suitable in public environments where damage from powder or foam should be avoided.
