What Are Dry Chemical Suppression Systems?
Dry chemical fire suppression systems use finely powdered chemical agents to rapidly extinguish fires. These systems are ideal for industrial environments with Class A, B, and C fire hazards where fast knockdown is critical.
ABC Dry Chemical (Monoammonium Phosphate)
Multi-purpose agent effective on Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires
Purple K (Potassium Bicarbonate)
Superior performance on Class B flammable liquid fires—twice as effective as regular dry chemical on petroleum fires
Total Flooding Systems
Fills entire enclosed space with agent for complete fire suppression regardless of fire location
Local Application Systems
Targeted suppression for specific hazards like fuel dispensing, dip tanks, or machinery
