Where can I use an ABC powder fire extinguisher? Open

They are suitable for industrial, commercial, and vehicle settings, anywhere with a mix of fire risks. However, they are not recommended for enclosed indoor spaces due to reduced visibility and inhalation risk.

Yes. ABC powder is non-conductive and can be safely used on live electrical equipment up to 1000V at a minimum distance of 1 metre.

We offer a range of sizes, typically from 1kg (ideal for vehicles) to 9kg (suitable for large industrial or warehouse environments).

It’s strongly recommended that staff are trained in the PASS technique (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) and understand which extinguisher to use for different fire types.

What does an ABC powder fire extinguisher contain? Open

ABC extinguishers contain a fine, dry chemical powder called monoammonium phosphate. This powder works by smothering fires, coating the fuel and cutting off the oxygen supply, making it effective on Class A (solids), B (liquids), and C (gases) fires. The extinguisher is pressurised with nitrogen gas to discharge the powder when activated.
