The Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher is one of the most versatile and widely used fire safety devices, designed to effectively combat multiple classes of fire. Using high-quality dry chemical powder as the extinguishing agent, it quickly suppresses flames by cutting off oxygen and interrupting the combustion process. Compact, easy to operate, and highly reliable, this extinguisher is ideal for homes, offices, vehicles, factories, gas stations, and warehouses.
How Does a Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher Work?
The extinguisher discharges a fine powder under pressure, which:
Forms a protective layer over the fire surface
Smothers the flames by isolating oxygen
Interrupts the chain reaction of burning gases
This makes it particularly effective for Class A (solid), Class B (liquid), and Class C (gas) fires. ABC dry powder types can also handle certain electrical fires safely.
