Dry Chemical Systems

Dry Chemical skid units are an effective means of controlling three dimensional Class B flammable liquid and electrical fires. Dry chemical will effectively extinguish flowing fuel and gas/liquid pressure fires where other types of equipment and agents may be ineffective. The dry chemical is contained within ASME coded pressure vessels with a working pressure of 210 psi. The dry chemical is expelled by nitrogen cylinders mounted on the skid unit. The nitrogen is supplied through a pressure-regulating valve into a manifold and then piped to the dry chemical storage container. The Standard Dry Chemical Skid is supplied with either one or two hose reels. Each hose is equipped with 100 feet of 1 inch hard rubber hose and a nozzle with a ball-type shutoff valve.

Aggressive product research and development, coupled with our state-of-the-art manufacturing process and stringent quality controls have resulted in more effective dry chemicals for all classes of fires.

Innovative manufacturing processes have resulted in developments such as our siliconization process to eliminate caking via moisture absorption and packing, and our sieve analysis to check for uniform particle size.  

Dry chemical is also compatible with foam concentrates to allow for twin agent application.  They are manufactured and tested for NFPA 10 and UL 299 dry chemical fire extinguisher equipment compatibility.  From refills for the industry's smallest extinguishers to mobile and large fixed installations, Chemetron has the right dry chemical for the job.
