Dry Powder ABE Fire Extingusihers

ABE dry powder fire extinguishers are a versatile and widely used fire extinguisher designed to combat multiple fire types. It is effective against:

• Class A fires – Ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, textiles, and plastics.
• Class B fires – Flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, and oils.
• Class E fires – Electrical fires involving live electrical equipment.

ABE extinguishers are commonly found in homes, offices, vehicles, industrial sites, and commercial buildings due to their broad application. They work by discharging a fine powder (typically monoammonium phosphate) that smothers the fire and interrupts the chemical reaction. These extinguishers must comply with AS/NZS 1841.5 to meet safety and performance standards in New Zealand.
