Industrial Fire Protection

Industrial Dry Chemical Fire Suppression Systems

Heavy-duty fire suppression for manufacturing, warehousing, and industrial applications with high fire risk. ABC and Purple K systems engineered for your specific hazards.

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
