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.

Hello Erwin Meester,

There are several ways to supress a metal fire. The only way to do so is to
cool it down or the prevent oxygen to get to the metal.
The extinguishing methods include : dry sand, aluinaarde, cement, graphite,
special extinguising powder.

There are too kinds of powder, one for all kinds of fire (A,B,C and D)  and
one only for B and C. They are all metalsalts with waterresisting coating.

I hope this information helps you.
