Premium Dry Chemical Fire Extinguishing Powder

Your First Line of Defense Against Fire

Our Dry Chemical Fire Extinguishing Powder is a high-performance, versatile, and fast-acting agent designed to rapidly suppress a wide range of fires. Engineered for maximum efficiency and reliability, it's the critical component for portable fire extinguishers, wheeled units, and certain fixed fire suppression systems across industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Multi-Class Fire Suppression: Available in both ABC (Multi-Purpose) and BC formulations to tackle Class A, B, and C fires effectively.
• Rapid Knockdown Capability: Acts quickly to extinguish flames, minimizing damage and preventing escalation.
• High Purity & Consistency: Manufactured to stringent quality standards, ensuring uniform particle size and superior performance.
• Excellent Flow Characteristics: Formulated for optimal flow and discharge, preventing clumping and ensuring reliable operation in extinguishing equipment.
• Non-Conductive (Class C Rated): Safe for use on electrical fires without risk of shock.
• Hydrophobic Properties: Often treated with silicone to resist moisture absorption, maintaining effectiveness over time.
• Meets Industry Standards: Complies with national and international fire safety regulations and standards (e.g., UL, NFPA, EN, ISO).

How It Works: The Science of Suppression

Dry Chemical Powder extinguishes fires through a combination of physical and chemical actions:

• Chemical Chain Reaction Interruption (Class B & C Fires): The finely pulverized particles release inert gases upon heating, disrupting the chemical chain reaction of the combustion process at the molecular level, thereby extinguishing the flame.
• Smothering/Blanketing Effect (Class A Fires - ABC Powder Only): For solid combustible materials (Class A), the powder melts and forms a non-combustible barrier, coating the fuel and preventing the release of flammable vapors, thus isolating the fuel from oxygen.
• Heat Absorption: The particles absorb heat from the fire, further cooling the burning materials and aiding in extinguishment.

Available Types:

1. ABC (Multi-Purpose) Dry Chemical Powder

• Composition: Primarily Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) with additives.
• Fire Classes: Effectively extinguishes Class A (ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, cloth), Class B (flammable liquids and gases), and Class C (energized electrical equipment) fires.
• Color: Typically yellow.
• Ideal For: General purpose use in homes, offices, vehicles, and mixed-hazard environments.

2. BC (Regular/Standard) Dry Chemical Powder

• Composition: Typically Sodium Bicarbonate (for "Regular" powder) or Potassium Bicarbonate (for "Purple K" powder) with additives.
• Fire Classes: Designed for Class B (flammable liquids and gases) and Class C (energized electrical equipment) fires. Less effective on Class A fires, as it doesn't create a coating barrier.
• Color: Sodium Bicarbonate is usually white, while Potassium Bicarbonate ("Purple K") is distinctively purple.
• Ideal For: Areas with specific risks of flammable liquids, gases, or electrical fires, such as workshops, garages, laboratories, and industrial settings.

Ideal Applications:

• Portable Fire Extinguishers: Handheld and wheeled units for various environments.
• Fixed Fire Suppression Systems: Local application or total flooding systems in specific industrial settings.
• Industrial Facilities: Factories, manufacturing plants, chemical processing sites, power generation.
• Commercial Buildings: Offices, retail spaces, restaurants, hotels, warehouses.
• Transportation: Vehicles, marine vessels, aircraft.
• Residential Use: Homes and apartments (primarily ABC type).
• Oil & Gas Industry: Drilling rigs, refineries, fuel storage.

Technical Specifications (Typical, may vary by type):

• Active Ingredient: Monoammonium Phosphate (ABC) / Sodium Bicarbonate / Potassium Bicarbonate (BC)
• Particle Size: 10-75 microns
• Moisture Content: < 0.2%
• Flow Rate: Free-flowing, non-caking
• Density: 0.8 - 1.2 g/cm³
• Color: Yellow (ABC), White (Sodium Bicarbonate BC), Purple (Potassium Bicarbonate BC)
• Storage Temperature: -30°C to +60°C
• Compatibility: Designed for use with standard fire extinguishing equipment and propulsion gases.

Safety & Handling:

• Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) / Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling.
• Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including a dust mask, safety glasses, and gloves, to avoid inhalation and skin/eye irritation.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
• While generally considered non-toxic, excessive inhalation can cause respiratory irritation.
• Clean-up: Can be corrosive to sensitive electronics and machinery due to chemical residue, especially ABC powder. Requires thorough post-fire cleanup using industrial vacuums and specialized cleaning agents.

Packaging Options:

• 25 kg / 50 lb multi-ply paper bags
• Bulk drums (100 kg / 200 kg)
• Custom packaging and bulk orders available upon request.
