2.5 kilo Dry Chemical Powder ABE Fire extinguisher, Australian Standards approved, complete with hose and vehicle bracket for fitting to your car or caravan
Advantages
Great multi-purpose fire extinguisher for the house, caravan, tractor or boat.
Can be used on fires involving flammable liquids eg petrol, oil, paint, LPG, can be used on live electrical equipment fires, and ordinary combustibles like wood, textiles, rubber, plastics and paper. Now also rated for C class fires (for flammable gasses). This is not your ideal kitchen fire extinguisher - use a wet chemical fire extinguisher in kitchen areas
Disadvantages
The discharge of fine powder may restrict vision. The powder may infiltrate sensitive equipment leaving a residue. The residue can be vacuumed up when dry. If the residue contacts a very hot object it may form a film that is hard to remove. It gives no protection against re-ignition of flammable liquid fires
