Expert Information
What are Dry Powder Extinguishers Used For?
Dry powder extinguishers are filled with a dry chemical extinguishing agent, usually a combination of ammonium sulphate and monoammonium phosphate. When the dry powder is applied to a burning solid, the powder insulates the solid because it is burning at an extremely high temperature.
When applied to a burning liquid or gas, the powder coats the surface of the fire and, in the process, interrupts the chain of reaction in the fire. With electrical fires, the powder is not a conductor of electricity, so when an individual sprays dry powder on an electrical fire, the powder will not conduct electricity back to the individual, as would be the case with water or other substances.
It should be noted, however, that if used on certain types of chemical fires, the powder can actually react with the chemicals and create an explosion. This is why it is important to be very aware of the environmental conditions and potential fire risks of an area before selecting a fire extinguisher. Our Fire Extinguisher Signs are an essential element of your fire safety solution; they contain all the information for dealing with fires and the uses of these extinguishers, at a glance.
