Description
6KG DRY POWDER EXTINGUISHER
Standard dry powder extinguishers are also called ‘ABC’ extinguishers because they tackle class A, B and C fires, however they are not recommended for use in enclosed spaces. This is because the powder can be easily inhaled, and also the residue is very difficult to clean up after. ABC powder extinguishers can also be used on some electrical fires. Specialist dry powder extinguishers are used for flammable metals.
Dry powder extinguishers smother fires by forming a barrier between the fuel and the source of oxygen.
Use for:
– Organic materials such as:
o Paper and cardboard
o Fabrics and textiles
o Wood and coal
– Flammable liquids, like paint and petrol
– Flammable gases, like liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and acetylene

Specialist dry powder extinguishers are only used on flammable metals, such as titanium and magnesium.

I recently purchased a fire extinguisher from Fire Products Kenya, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed. Not only was the purchasing process smooth and hassle-free, but the extinguisher itself is of top-notch quality. It’s easy to use and feels robust and reliable. I feel much safer knowing I have this in my home. Highly recommend!
