New Jet-Black Fire Extinguishers Enhance H3R Performance Product Line
Fresh, unconventional look for 1 and 2.5 pound fire extinguishers caters to automotive enthusiasts

(Larkspur, CA) -- H3R Performance announced the addition of a sophisticated jet-black finish to complement the fire engine red and brilliant chrome colors currently available on its line of HalGuard™ "clean agent" and MaxOut™ dry chemical fire extinguishers.

"The addition of these 1 and 2.5 pound extinguishers to our product line, with their rich black finish, is sure to bring incremental sales to our dealers," said Chris Dieter, senior vice president, H3R Performance, Inc. "We've enjoyed tremendous success with our red and chrome fire extinguishers but research indicates that the color black also appeals to many automotive enthusiasts. This is a color for the automotive aftermarket to embrace because you won't find a black fire extinguisher in a big box store."

HalGuard™ is a premium "clean agent" fire extinguisher that does not leave a messy residue making it the perfect product for protecting classic collector, high performance, tuner, and race cars. MaxOut™ is a dry chemical extinguisher that has a proven track record in smothering the types of fires that occur in an automotive environment.
