ABC Dry Powder Extinguishing Agent
ABC dry powder has been treated to be water repellent and capable of being fluidized and free flowing so that it can
be discharged through hoses and piping under the influence of an expellant gas. When discharged, dry powder will
drift through the air and settle on surrounding surfaces.
Following a discharge, the exposed areas must be cleaned off within 24 hours. Dry powder can be cleaned up by one
of the following methods; wiping, vacuuming, blowing off with an airline or pressure washing the exposed areas. In
some cases, the powder can be scraped off a surface if that surface was hot at the time of discharge.
For hazard information, decomposition information, and physical properties of ABC Powder please refer to the
Material Safety Data sheet included with this manual.
