Class A fires are fires burning wood, paper, textiles, and the like. Class B fires are fires burning flammable liquids. Class C fires are fires burning flammable gases.
Highly Effective Fire Protection
Dry chemical fire protection systems are electrically non-conductive so you can use them in a flammable liquid fire with an electrical component involved. These systems can be used in a total flood application. This is where the dry chemical completely floods an entire room or area. This type of system can also be used in a localized manner as well. For example, the system could suppress the fire on a specific mechanical piece by coating the entire piece with the dry chemical.

Fire Protection That Works
Certain types of hazards create problems for fire protection. Water-based fire protection systems can not safely suppress the fire when it a gas or flammable liquid burning. This would only cause the fire to spread and create more danger. These types of fire call for something other than water which is where a dry chemical system comes in. These systems can work on Class A, B, and C fires making them very effective for a broad type of fire protection.
