Description
DRY POWDER EXTINGUISHERS
A dry powder extinguisher is a firefighting device that discharges a dry chemical powder designed to smother a fire by interrupting the chemical combustion reaction.
Versatile and highly effective, it can be used against several types of fire:
- Class A: solid materials (wood, paper, textiles)
- Class B: flammable liquids (petrol, solvents…)
- Class C: gases (butane, propane, methane…)
Certain specific powders (ABC, BC…) provide broader coverage depending on the risk.
The dry powder extinguisher is widely used in industrial environments, vehicles, warehouses, car parks and any location presenting a mixed fire risk. It is valued for its immediate responsiveness, its effectiveness outdoors and its resistance to low temperatures.
