Future is P50
)
Traditional, steel fire extinguishers last around 10 years, but are prone to corrosion and must be serviced annually to ensure they remain fit for purpose. By embracing the introduction of new materials and technology, Britannia saw an opportunity to create a new model out of composite material that would be corrosion resistant and lightweight, with no annual service required. The P50 can last 20 years. They don’t need to be serviced by a technician every year. Instead, they just need simple, regular checks from a designated competent person, which can be done with the help of our dedicated App. After 10 years, factory refurbishment will extend the life of a P50 for another 10 years. As well as saving time and money on annual services and replacements, these extinguishers are much better for the environment, with a reduction in wastage, and in carbon emissions around servicing.
