Karbaloy is a potassium carbonate-based wet chemical solution formulated specifically for the cooking oil and grease fire hazards found in commercial kitchens.

Karbaloy is the proprietary Range Guard wet chemical formulation — a potassium-based agent engineered to suppress high-temperature cooking oil and grease fires through a combination of rapid cooling and saponification.

Like all Range Guard Karbaloy agent products, the 120031 is the only OEM-approved agent for Range Guard systems — substituting a different wet chemical agent alters the system's hydraulic discharge characteristics and voids the UL 300 listing.

Karbaloy is the Range Guard proprietary wet chemical formulation — a potassium-based agent specifically engineered to suppress Class K cooking oil and grease fires through a combination of rapid cooling and saponification. As with all class k wet chemical fire extinguisher agents, Karbaloy reacts with hot oils to form a soapy foam layer that seals the fuel surface and prevents re-ignition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eUsing the OEM Karbaloy recharge ensures the RG-6G cylinder is refilled with the exact agent formulation that the Range Guard system was tested and listed with under UL 300 certification. The range guard system's hydraulic design — nozzle flow points, piping layout, and discharge timing — is all calibrated for Karbaloy's specific viscosity and flow characteristics. Substituting a generic wet chemical agent or a different brand's recharge can alter the system's discharge dynamics, potentially leaving portions of the protected cooking surface improperly covered and voiding the UL 300 listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eFor fire protection contractors servicing Range Guard kitchen fire suppression systems, the 87-120033-001 Karbaloy recharge is the correct post-discharge and 6-year internal service refill for RG-6G cylinders.
