The 6kg ABC Dry Powder extinguisher is a multi-purpose extinguisher suitable for use on (Class A, B, and C) fires involving combustible solids, flammable liquids, and gases. The highly-rated extinguishant is Mono-Ammonium Phosphate, which is a fine powder that can knock down flames quickly and protect users against the radiant heat from a fire.
It is ideal for domestic use and a variety of commercial and industrial applications, including outdoor areas and vehicles, where freezing temperatures can adversely affect liquid-based extinguishers. ABC Dry Powder, however, is not recommended for use in escape routes of premises due to the reduction in visibility caused by the powder, albeit temporary.
The Dry Powder unit is also the only extinguisher internationally approved for use on Class C (gas) fires, however, it is recommended that the gas supply be shut off before tackling the fire to avoid the explosion and asphyxiation hazards of the gas flowing into the premises.
