CLEANGUARD fire extinguishers are recommended for use in areas where the agent must be exceptionally effective, electrically non-conductive, clean, environment-friendly, and extremely low in toxicity. The MR conditional option is composed of a stainless steel shell and other non-magnetic components, which make it ideal for MRI rooms and other sensitive areas requiring a safe and reliable fire extinguisher. - SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION - UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND University of Maryland Fire Protection Engineering Programs Office of Advanced Engineering Education 2105 J.M.
