Types of ABC fire extinguishers
An ABC fire extinguisher uses mono ammonium phosphate (MAP) dry powder, which works on solid fires (wood, paper, cloth), flammable liquids (petrol, diesel, paint) and gas fires (LPG, CNG). The models on this page differ in how they are pressurised, the body and the size.
- Stored pressure: the body is always under pressure and has a gauge, so you can see at a glance whether it is ready. Sizes run from 500 g (Ceasefire) and 1 kg up to 9 kg.
- Cartridge type: a CO2 gas cartridge inside pressurises the body only when it is used. These units, from Kanex and Ceasefire, are robust and easy to refill on site, so they suit factories and plants.
- Stainless steel body: Kanex makes a polished stainless steel ABC unit in 2, 4 and 6 kg for hotels, hospitals, labs and lobbies where looks and rust matter.
- Automatic modular: ceiling mounted ABC units from Safex and SafePro (2 to 15 kg) that discharge on their own when the heat-sensing bulb bursts.
- Trolley units: 25, 50 and 75 kg ABC powder on wheels with a long hose, for large risks such as godowns and yards.
How to choose an ABC fire extinguisher
- Powder grade: MAP 90 powder has a much higher share of the active chemical than MAP 50 or MAP 40%, so it is chosen for offices, factories and higher risks. MAP 50 and MAP 40% are the budget options for low-risk spaces.
- Size: 1 kg and 2 kg for cars and small shops, 4 kg for flats and clinics, 6 kg for offices, schools and corridors, 9 kg for workshops and warehouses.
- Operation: stored pressure for everyday use where staff check the gauge; cartridge type where units get rough handling and need quick refills.
- Where not to rely on it alone: powder leaves a residue, so for server rooms and panels a clean agent fire extinguisher or a CO2 fire extinguisher is the cleaner choice.
