What is the difference between a foam extinguisher and a powder extinguisher?
A foam extinguisher uses a mixture of water and a foaming agent to extinguish the fire. The foam has a cooling effect and prevents oxygen from reaching the fire. This extinguishes the fire and prevents re-ignition. Foam extinguishers are suitable for extinguishing Class A fires (solids fires such as wood and paper) and Class B fires (liquid fires such as petrol and oil).
A powder extinguisher, on the other hand, uses a dry extinguishing powder to extinguish fires. The powder suffocates the flames by taking away the oxygen and prevents the fire from spreading further. Powder extinguishers are suitable for extinguishing class A, B and C fires (fires of gases such as propane and butane).
While both types of extinguishers are effective at putting out fires, they also have some drawbacks. For example, foam extinguishers can cause corrosion to electronic equipment and dry powder extinguishers can pollute the environment and obscure visibility. It is therefore important to choose the right extinguisher for the specific circumstances and risks.
