Chemical Extinguishing Agents

There are several types of dry chemical extinguishing agents. The three most popular are sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate (Purple K), and monoammonium phosphate. [Pg.138]

Accidents In the event of skin contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and any metal partieles and wash with soap and water. In case of eye contact, promptly wash with copious amounts of water for 15 min (lifting upper and lower lids occasionally) and obtain medical attention. If sodium is ingested, obtain medieal attention immediately. In the event of a spUl, remove all ignition sources, cover the sodium with a dry chemical extinguishing agent, sweep up, place in an appropriate container under an inert atmosphere, and dispose of properly. Respiratory protection may be necessary in the event of a spiU or release in a confined area. [Pg.391]

Special compatible foam concentrates result in the generation of a foam that does not break down as readily as ordinary foam when mixed with dry chemical extinguishing agent. Other special foams are available for application on fires in alcohok, esters, ketones, and ethers (called water-soluble or polar liquids). This concentrate prodnces a foam that does not deteriorate like ordinary foam when in contact with water-miscible solvents. [Pg.362]
