Dry powder fire extinguishers are common fire safety equipment recommended for multiple classes of fire. Based on a chemical powder that has the ability to transform into foam, once it is discharged, these fire extinguishers are very popular and very effective. The ABC powder used for these extinguishers is named this way, based on what classes of fire the products are capable of fighting.

The ABC Model

An ABC dry powder fire extinguisher is a product designed to put away fires categorized in the A, B and C classes. The A class includes fires caused by flammable solids, the B class, fires caused by flammable liquids and the C class, fires caused by flammable gases, like butane and propane. As you can see, fires caused by electrical systems are not included here; for those fires, you need an extinguisher based on CO2 – carbon dioxide.

Potassium bicarbonate is the usual chemical used for ABC fire extinguishers; it is best known as baking soda. Keep in mind to never use ABC extinguishers on electrical systems, because this chemical is corrosive when in contact with metals and it also attracts moisture. Use the fire safety equipment existing on your property just for the purpose it was designed, and you will have the best results.

Effective Extinguisher to Protect You

If you have ever seen the effects of a dry powder fire extinguisher, you may have noticed how messy the place looks like, after such a product was used. It is true that the baking soda transformed into foam leaving quite a mess behind, but this is truly just a small price to pay, seeing that lives and material property can be saved with this simple type of fire safety product. 6kg dry powder fire extinguishers are a solid choice for medium size businesses, because they hold quite a lot of active chemical to ensure that any fire is put away.

Make sure that your personnel are well instructed on how to use the fire extinguisher and that the equipment you have on site is not expired. Yearly servicing of the fire extinguisher is required for businesses.
