HalGuard™ “clean agent” extinguishers do not leave a messy residue – desirable when protecting classic collector, high performance, tuner, and race cars, as well as for use in RV’s, marine, off-road and heavy duty. MaxOut™ is a reliable line of dry chemical extinguishers. Both are effective on flammable liquid fires and do not conduct electricity back to the operator – two important considerations when dealing with the types of fires most likely to occur in an automotive environment. MaxOut™ and HalGuard™ are available in 1 and 2.5 lb. rechargeable red or chrome-plated bottles. They sport high quality steel cylinders, all metal valve construction, and aviation-quality mounting brackets. </p><p>The H3R group of companies includes: H3R Performance, Inc., H3R Aviation, Inc., the largest supplier of portable clean agent fire extinguishers to the aviation industry, and H3R Clean Agents, Inc., a major buyer, seller and recycler of clean agents to the fire protection and other industry. </p><p>For Further Product Information, Contact: For Further PR Information, Contact: Chris Dieter Gary McCoy Vice President, Marketing & Distribution The Marx Group H3R Performance, Inc. 847.622.7228 800.249.4289 [email protected] [email protected] </p><p>1</p>
