Ansul™ Dry Chemicals
Dry chemicals are available to fight Class A, B, C, or D fires
Supplier: Ansul™ 53080
Description
Never mix bicarbonate-based and phosphate-based dry chemicals. A chemical reaction that is harmful to the extinguisher will occur. Foray™ is free flowing, water repellent, nonabrasive; and produces no toxic effects. Other additives to Met-L-X™ render it free-flowing and cause heat caking or crusting.
