Dry Powder Ceiling Mounted Fire Extinguisher

A dry powder ceiling mounted fire extinguisher is a specialized fire safety device designed for use in locations where fire protection is required, particularly in case of fire to combustible materials like wood, paper, cloth and plastics. Moreover, these types of extinguishers are effective in extinguishing fires involving flammable liquids and gases such as oil and gasoline. They can also be applied to combat fires on electrical equipment. Dry powder fire extinguishers contain a fire suppressing agent, often a chemical powder mixture such as silicon coated monoammonium phosphate. These extinguishers are commonly installed in commercial and industrial settings, including warehouses, laboratories, server rooms and manufacturing facilities. They are especially valuable for safeguarding against fires where the exact type of fire risk may vary. These extinguishers are activated by pulling down on a handle or breaking a glass bulb, which releases the dry powder onto the fire. It is essential to follow safety guidelines when using a ceiling mounted dry powder fire extinguisher to avoid inhalation of the powder and potential harm to electrical equipment.
