As most people do not have experience in dealing with fires incidents, it is important for people to have some knowledge and information about the use of fire extinguishers to remain safe during a fire. There are different kinds of fires depending on the source of the fire. Dry powder fire extinguishers are used for Class A, B and C fires. These extinguishers are also known as ABC dry powder fire extinguishers.

Things to Note
Our 9KG ABC dry powder fire extinguishers approximately weighs around 13.4KG. Suitable operating temperature range for these extinguishers is -30°C to 60°C. The powder used is mono-ammonium phosphate which is yellow in color.
The dry powder or chemical fire extinguishers are called multipurpose fire extinguishers because these can fight three classes of fires but are especially the best solution for class A fire. These are at least 4 to 5 times effective than the same amount of water in the case of class A fires. However, depending on the content in the venue, it is also recommended to use CO2 extinguishers in the case of Class B or Electrical fires. This is because the mono-ammonium phosphate powder used in these extinguishers leaves residues that can cause damage to the electrical equipment. Also, moisture can react with the powder and can produce corrosion. So it is better to clean up the residue from the area after usage of the Extinguisher.
