The 20 lb ABC fire extinguisher is usually used in bigger places where the fire risk is higher and a small extinguisher may not be enough. Many factories, warehouses, workshops, fuel storage areas and commercial buildings in Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Jubail and Al Khobar keep this size as their main unit. The large amount of powder inside gives longer discharge time, so it works better on wider or fast-spreading fires. Nassguard supplies this extinguisher across Saudi Arabia for industrial and commercial use.
ABC powder is designed to stop different types of fires. The agent sticks to the burning surface and cuts off the oxygen that keeps the fire alive. This is why the same extinguisher can work on normal material fires, flammable liquids and electrical faults. Places that store mixed goods, deal with machines, or handle fuel normally keep a 20 lb unit ready because it offers stronger protection than a small extinguisher.
An ABC fire extinguisher in Riyadh uses monoammonium phosphate powder. The powder works on three fire classes:
Class A: paper, wood, fabrics and normal materials
Class B: fuel, oils, solvents
Class C: electrical equipment
When you squeeze the handle, the powder shoots out and forms a coating over the fire. This coating stops the chemical reaction and slows the flames quickly. Because the powder does not carry electricity, you can use it near circuits, cables, motors or electrical boards. The 20 lb size gives more spray time, which helps in large areas like factories or stores.
Industrial workshops and heavy machinery rooms
Warehouses with mixed storage
Fuel handling areas and generator sections
Hotels, malls and large commercial buildings
Chemical storage rooms
Transport yards and logistic centers
Large kitchens with electrical appliances
Mechanical and fabrication shops
