1 50# Bucket Of Ansul Purple-K Fire Extinguisher Retill
Ansul Purple-K may be used to combat fires in flammable liquids, gases and greases (Class B) including such fires when involved with energized electrical equipment (Class C). Because of its excellent fire fighting effectiveness, Purple-K is widely used in the petroleum industry and in other areas where the fire risk is high. Purple-K is available in hand portable and wheeled extinguishers, large stationary units, mobile units and various fixed nozzle piped systems.
Purple-K is one of the most effective of the Ansul dry chemicals against Class B fires. It is a potassium bicarbonate based dry chemical containing chemical additives, and is produced by an exclusive Ansul chemical process. The resultant agent is free-flowing, water repellant, non-abrasive and, when used as a fire extinguishing agent, will produce no toxic effects. Purple-K is violet in color to differentiate it from the other dry chemical agents. Post fire cleanup of Purple-K can be readily accomplished using a vacuum cleaner or a broom and dust pan.
Purple-K is extremely effective against Class B fires, and has been shown to be at least 4 to 5 times as effective in extinguisher applications as carbon dioxide, and more than twice as effective as sodium bicarbonate based extinguishants. Various extinguishers will operate at temperatures as low as -65 F and as high as 120 F (-54 C and 49 C).
Caution: Never mix Purple-K with phosphate based dry chemicals. A chemical reaction that is harmful to the extinguisher will take place.
