On Sun, 23 Sep 2001 11:43:46 +0200, the person known as M@istro yelled out: >Can somebody help me? I'm looking for some information regarding >extinguishing powder. I have to give a presentation on these agents. > >I'm looking for information on powder for class D fires. I would like to >have the names of these powders and their chemical structure. The two most widely used chemicals used in D extinguishers are Sodium Chloride and Copper depending on the metal it's used for. Often referred to simply as Salt or Copper Extinguishers. Take a look at one of the major extinguishers manufacturers web sites. There you should be able to find MSDS sheets that may give you a better break down of the chemical mixture. I believe the copper agents are almost purely copper powder while the salt extinguishers have a small 5-10% mixture of silicates.
