2. ABC dry chemical - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_dry_chemical

   Dry chemical powder is used on all classes of fires. Dry chemical powder puts out the fire by coating the burning material with a thin layer of dust, thereby separating the fuel from the oxygen in the air. The powder also works to interrupt the chemical reaction of fire, so these extinguishers are extremely effective at putting out the fire.

5. Fast Flow Extinguishers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Flow_Extinguishers

   In other words, a fast flow extinguisher expels a higher volume of agent in less time than a standard compliance flow extinguisher. As a result, fast flow extinguishers have lower UL class A&B ratings than compliance flow extinguishers (the class B numerical rating is the approximate square feet of burning fuel a novice operator could expect to ...

6. Sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate

   Sodium bicarbonate is used in BC dry chemical fire extinguishers as an alternative to the more corrosive monoammonium phosphate in ABC extinguishers. The alkaline nature of sodium bicarbonate makes it the only dry chemical agent, besides Purple-K, that was used in large-scale fire suppression systems installed in commercial kitchens. [30]
