ABC powder is a combination of Monoammonium phosphate and ammonium sulphate. The extinguishing powder interferes with the chemical reactions that take place in the combustion zone, thus the flame ceases to exist. The powder also has a low melting point and on application the particles fuse and swell to form a barrier which excludes oxygen and completes the extinguishing process and prevents reignition.
The powder is non conductive and may be used in the presence of an electric current.
ABC powder will extinguish class A (carbonaceous) fires, class B (flammable liquid) fires and class C (flammable gas) fires.
