20-September-2008 09:29:10 - Purple-K Purple-K is a dry chemical fire suppression agent used in some dry powder fire extinguishers. It is the most effective dry chemical in fighting class B flammable liquid fires, and can be used against some energized electrical equipment fires USA class C fires. It has about 4-5 times more effectiveness against class B fires than carbon dioxide, and more than twice that of sodium bicarbonate. Some fire extinguishers are capable of operation in temperatures down to -54 °C or up to +49 °C. Dry Chemical Powder works by directly inhibiting the chemical chain reaction which forms one of the four sides of the fire tetrahedron Heat + Oxygen + Fuel + Chemical Chain Reaction = Fire. To a much smaller degree it also has a smothering effect - excluding oxygen from the fire.
