MOBIAK Powder Fire Extinguisher (10 lbs, 15 lbs, 20 lbs, 50 lbs)

Description

Product Overview

A powder fire extinguisher uses an extinguishing agent known as dry chemical powder, typically made from mono ammonium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, or potassium bicarbonate. When discharged, the powder interrupts the chemical reaction of a fire and forms a barrier between the fuel and oxygen, thereby stopping combustion. Powder extinguishers are among the most widely used firefighting tools due to their versatility and effectiveness across multiple fire classes.

MOBIAK powder fire extinguishers are designed with:

• Durable steel body

• Reliable pressure valve system

• Ergonomic handle and lever

• Pressure gauge

• Nozzle or hose

• Wall mounting bracket

These features ensure durability, ease of use, and long‑lasting performance.

Fire Classes Covered

MOBIAK Powder Fire Extinguishers are effective for:

• Class A – Ordinary combustibles: wood, paper, cloth, plastic

• Class B – Flammable liquids: gasoline, oil, grease, solvents

• Class C – Energized electrical equipment: motors, wiring, electrical panels

This broad range of effectiveness makes powder extinguishers suitable for environments with mixed fire hazards.

Key Features

1. Multipurpose Dry Chemical Powder

The dry chemical powder quickly interrupts fire chemistry, making it very effective across different fuel types without requiring multiple extinguisher units.

2. Durable Cylinder Design

MOBIAK extinguishers use:

• High‑grade steel cylinders

• Rust‑proof powder coating

• Seamless welding

• High‑pressure valves

This ensures the extinguisher performs reliably over long service life.

3. Pressure Gauge and Safety Pin

A pressure gauge enables easy visual inspection of service readiness, showing whether the unit is:

• Overcharged

• Properly charged

• Undercharged

A safety pin with seal clip prevents accidental activation and indicates if the extinguisher has been tampered with.

---

4. Wide Operating Temperature

MOBIAK units are engineered to operate in a wide climate range — from cold warehouses to hot outdoor industrial areas — without loss of performance.

---

5. Nozzles and Hoses for Directed Discharge

Most models are fitted with either a rubber hose or rigid nozzle to direct the powder flow accurately at the base of the fire.
