Name : BC POWDER (POTASSIUM BICARBONATE-UREA)

Brand : IFP PUREX

Description

• • IFP PUREX is a highly efficient dry chemical powder based on reaction product of potassium
  bicarbonate and urea, known as potassium allophonate (potassium carbamate).
  • It is one of the most effective agents against B and C class of fires.
  • The active ingredient is mixed with additives for improving its fluidity and making it weather resistant.
  • It is compatible with foam concentrates and can be used in twin application.

Application

IFP PUREX is an efficient extinguishing agent for class B and C fires. It is suitable for combustible liquids and
burning gases. It can also be applied on fires involving energized electrical equipment. It is not appropriate
for extinguishing metal fires.
It may be used in both, hand portable and wheeled extinguishers, vehicles and fixed systems. As propellant,
compressed air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide may be used. Due to low apparent density the required charge in
extinguisher will be lower.
