Dry powder is a kind of dry, easily flowing, fine solid powder, with fire-extinguishing materials and moisture-proofing agents, flow accelerators, agglomeration prevention agents and other additives.


Foam extinguisher


How it works: foam extinguishers contain two containers containing two liquids, aluminum sulfate and sodium bicarbonate, which do not touch each other and do not undergo any chemical reaction. When a foam extinguisher is needed, stand the extinguisher upside down. When the two solutions are mixed together, a large amount of carbon dioxide gas will be produced.
