Ultimate Fire Safety: Premium Multi-Purpose Dry Chemical Extinguishing Powder (ABC/BC)

Overview

Ensure maximum protection against a wide range of fire hazards with our Premium Multi-Purpose Dry Chemical Extinguishing Powder. Engineered for rapid fire knockdown and superior suppression capabilities, this high-performance extinguishing agent is the backbone of countless fire extinguishers and fixed fire suppression systems worldwide. Our dry chemical powder is designed to interrupt the chemical chain reaction of fire, providing a fast and effective solution when seconds count.

Key Features & Benefits

• Broad Spectrum Fire Suppression (ABC or BC Rated):
  • ABC Powder (Monoammonium Phosphate based): Effectively combats Class A (ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, textiles), Class B (flammable liquids and gases), and Class C (energized electrical equipment) fires.
  • BC Powder (Sodium Bicarbonate or Potassium Bicarbonate based): Highly effective against Class B (flammable liquids and gases) and Class C (energized electrical equipment) fires.
• Rapid Knockdown & Extinguishment: Acts swiftly to smother flames and interrupt the combustion process, minimizing damage and ensuring quick control.
• Non-Conductive: Safe for use on energized electrical equipment (Class C fires) without posing a shock hazard to the operator.
• Excellent Flow Properties: Formulated for smooth, consistent discharge from fire extinguishers, ensuring reliable performance when needed most.
• Long Shelf Life: Stable composition ensures efficacy over extended periods when stored correctly, reducing maintenance frequency.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Contains additives to minimize corrosive effects on metals, protecting the internal components of fire extinguishers.
• Low Toxicity Formulation: While always requiring safe handling, our powder is designed with user and environmental considerations in mind, conforming to industry safety standards.
• Temperature Stable: Performs reliably across a broad range of operating temperatures.
