Mailsafe Wall Mounted Anti-Arson Mailbox

The Mailsafe extinguisher is a sealed thermosensitive polymer tube filled with the ozone friendly extinguishant FE-25. Mailsafe is simple to fit and has been designed to be fitted against the back of a standard letter plate.

The Mailsafe has been tested by Warrington Fire Research to determine the performance, when exposed to a series of ignition sources, each of which was designed to represent a potential method of arson attack.

The tests demonstrate that the 'Mailsafe' mailbox can successfully contain an arson attack and can provide significant protection against a serious fire developing within a building. If the mailbox had not been present, all of the potential arson attacks considered in the series of tests could have caused ignition of the contents behind the door (e.g. ignition of a floor covering) and could have caused a major fire to develop.
