Premium Dry Chemical Fire Extinguishing Powder

The Versatile Solution for Rapid Fire Suppression

Our Premium Dry Chemical Fire Extinguishing Powder is an indispensable agent designed for the swift and effective suppression of a wide range of fire classes. Engineered for maximum efficiency and reliability, this powder acts by interrupting the fire's chemical chain reaction, cooling the fuel, and smothering the flames, making it a critical component in fire safety systems worldwide.

Ideal for use in portable fire extinguishers, wheeled units, and fixed fire suppression systems, our dry chemical powder provides a rapid knockdown capability, minimizing damage and ensuring safety in diverse environments.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Broad Spectrum Fire Class Coverage: Available in formulations to tackle Class A, B, and C fires, and specialized formulations for Class D and K fires.
  • Class A Fires: Ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, cloth, plastic).
  • Class B Fires: Flammable liquids and gases (gasoline, oil, propane).
  • Class C Fires: Energized electrical equipment.
• Rapid Knockdown: Formulated for high efficiency, providing immediate fire suppression upon discharge, significantly reducing spread and potential damage.
• Non-Conductive (for B and C classes): Safe for use on live electrical equipment without the risk of electrical shock, making it suitable for server rooms, control panels, and electrical substations.
• Temperature Stable: Maintains its efficacy across a wide range of environmental temperatures, ensuring reliability in various climates.
• Excellent Flowability: Optimized particle size distribution ensures smooth, consistent discharge, preventing clogging and maximizing effective reach.
• Long Shelf Life: Chemically stable formulation designed for extended storage without degradation of performance.
• Economical & Cost-Effective: A highly efficient and readily available extinguishing agent offering excellent value for comprehensive fire protection.

Available Formulations & Specifications:

We offer a range of specialized dry chemical powders, each designed for specific fire hazards and applications:

1. ABC (Multi-Purpose) Dry Chemical Powder (Monoammonium Phosphate - MAP)

• Primary Agent: Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP)
• Appearance: Fine, pale yellow powder.
• Fire Classes: Effectively extinguishes Class A, B, and C fires.
  • Class A Mechanism: Melts and flows upon contact with hot surfaces, forming a barrier that smothers the fire and prevents re-ignition.
  • Class B & C Mechanism: Interrupts the chemical chain reaction of the fire.
• Residue: Forms a corrosive residue, requiring prompt cleanup, especially on sensitive electronics or metal surfaces.
• Typical Applications: Homes, offices, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, vehicles, general industrial use.
• Standards Compliance: UL Listed, EN 3-7, ISO.

2. BC Dry Chemical Powder (Sodium Bicarbonate)

• Primary Agent: Sodium Bicarbonate
• Appearance: Fine, white powder.
• Fire Classes: Effective on Class B and C fires.
• Mechanism: Chemically interferes with the combustion process and smothers the fire.
• Residue: Non-corrosive residue, easier to clean than ABC powder.
• Typical Applications: Kitchens (commercial and residential), garages, workshops, laboratories, facilities with flammable liquids and gases.
• Standards Compliance: UL Listed, EN 3-7, ISO.

3. BC Dry Chemical Powder (Potassium Bicarbonate - "Purple-K")

• Primary Agent: Potassium Bicarbonate
• Appearance: Fine, deep purple powder.
• Fire Classes: Superior extinguishing agent for Class B and C fires compared to Sodium Bicarbonate.
• Mechanism: More effective chemical inhibition of the combustion process due to potassium's higher efficiency.
• Residue: Non-corrosive residue, generally easy to clean.
• Typical Applications: Oil refineries, chemical plants, airports, marine environments, racing events – where rapid knockdown of flammable liquid/gas fires is paramount.
• Standards Compliance: UL Listed, EN 3-7, ISO.

4. Specialized Dry Chemical Powders (e.g., Monnex, D-Class)

• Monnex (Potassium Bicarbonate & Urea Complex):
  • Appearance: Pale blue/white powder.
  • Fire Classes: Ultra-high performance on Class B and C fires, often used in high-risk industrial applications due to its superior extinguishing power.
• Class D Powder (e.g., Sodium Chloride, Graphite-based):
  • Appearance: Specific to the agent (e.g., grey for graphite, white for NaCl).
  • Fire Classes: Designed exclusively for combustible metal fires (e.g., magnesium, titanium, sodium, potassium).
  • Mechanism: Smothers the fire and dissipates heat.
  • Typical Applications: Metalworking industries, laboratories handling reactive metals.

Technical Specifications (General Range - specific to formulation):

• Appearance: Fine, free-flowing powder
• Color: White, Yellow, Purple, or specific to formulation
• Particle Size: 10 – 75 microns (typical range)
• Moisture Content: < 0.2%
• Density (Tapped): 0.9 – 1.2 g/cm³
• Flowability: Excellent
• Water Repellency: Hydrophobic treated for anti-caking and moisture resistance
• Thermal Stability: Up to 60°C (140°F) for extended periods
• Storage Temperature: -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to +140°F) recommended
• Propellant Compatibility: Suitable for use with various propellants (Nitrogen, CO2)

Safety & Handling:

• Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS): Full MSDS available upon request for detailed safety information.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE (dust mask/respirator, safety glasses, gloves) when handling or refilling.
• Ventilation: Use in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
• Inhalation: May cause respiratory irritation. Seek fresh air if inhaled.
• Skin/Eye Contact: May cause irritation. Flush with water if contact occurs.
• Cleanup: Vacuum or sweep up. For ABC powders, immediate cleanup is recommended to prevent corrosion. Dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
