ABC Extinguishers Overview
ABC fire extinguishers are ideal for various types of fires. These extinguishers use monoammonium phosphate, a dry chemical. Monoammonium phosphate chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350°F and coating the surfaces it is applied to. It also smothers and disrupts the chain reaction in Class B fires and does not conduct electricity to the user in Class C fires. Due to its versatility, the ABC extinguisher is often the optimal choice to meet most small fire suppression needs.
