Things to Note
Our 12KG ABC dry powder fire extinguishers approximately weighs around 16.6KG. 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.
Directions & Precautions
There are some safety precautions to be taken during handling or use of ABC dry powder fire extinguishers. It is advisable not to mix ABC dry powder with any bicarbonate based chemicals. A reaction harmful to the extinguishers will occur. The dry powders used in the extinguishers are irritating to respiratory systems, eyes and skin. Ingestion of it can cause nausea and cramps while direct contact with the skin can cause serious irritation. It is better to be very careful while operating the fire extinguisher. However, if these incidents take place, panicking is not the solution.
Take some initial treatments like washing the area effected with water, cleansing skin with soap. After that contact a specialist for further treatment.
