Technocal data on FIREHOUSE Quality ABC dry chemical refill powders for stored pressure fire extinguishers.

Discription of ABC Dry Chemical

FIREHOUSE Quality "ABC" is a multipurpose, monoammonium phosphate based, dry chemical powder that is treated with flow promoting and moisture Repellent additives during manufacturing. The special manufacturing process and quality control system, ensures that the purchaser will receive a powder that is cost efficient with maximum fire extinguishing performance, versatility and storage stability.

ABC is suitable for use as a recharge agent in most manufacturers' fire extinguishers that utilize monoammonium phosphate based dry chemical powder. It is very effective on fires involving ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, cotton, rubber, many types of plastics as well as fires involving flammable liquids and energized electrical equipment. Because of its versatility, ABC is most suitable for use on combination fires involving Class A, B

or C type fires together. ABC is typically yellow in color which differentiates it from the other dry chemical powders.

How the does the dry ABC Drychemical powder put out fires?

When FIREHOUSE Quality ABC dry chemical powder is introduced directly into the fire area of a Class B type fire, it causes the fire to go out by interfering with the chemical chain reaction of combustion. When the ABC powder is applied to a Class A type fire, the particles fuse and swell up to form a barrier (coating) which eliminates oxygen and thereby completes the extinguishing process and prevents reigniting.
