Purpl K Powder is a potassium bicarbonate based dry chemical agent, and is produced by an exclusive chemical process. Purple-K agent is one of the most effective of the dry chemicals against Class B fires. It 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 suppressants. Various extinguishers will operate at temperatures as low as -65 °F and as high as 120 °F (-54 °C and 49 °C).
Purpl K Powder is used to combat fires involving flammable liquids, gases and greases (Class B) and fires involved with energized electrical equipment (Class C).
