The Cosmic Multipurpose Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher is an easy-to-use, portable, hand-held fire extinguisher. Its multipurpose extinguishing agent is suitable for fires in offices, classrooms, churches, parking garages, and retail. However, it is not recommended for use on sensitive electronic equipment.
This hand-held fire extinguisher contains specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate powder. It smothers and breaks the chain reaction on Class B fires, fuses and insulates Class A fires, and is a nonconductor of electricity. It is also non-toxic.
With a portable, hand-held fire extinguisher, you will squeeze the lever, which opens the valve and forces the chemical out.
Fights Class A (Wood, Paper, Cloth), Class B (Flammable Liquids and Gases), and Class C (Electrical Conductivity) fires.

Classes of Fire Protection
Class A Fires – Ordinary Combustibles
These fires are typically extinguished using water or dry chemical agents that cool and insulate the burning material. Class A fires involve common combustible materials such as:
- Paper
- Wood
- Cloth
- Cardboard
- Trash
Class B Fires – Flammable Liquids & Gases
These fires require fire extinguishers designed to smother flames and interrupt the chemical reaction of the fire. Class B fires involve flammable and combustible liquids, including:
- Gasoline
- Oil
- Paints
- Solvents
- Grease
Class C Fires – Electrical Equipment
Non-conductive fire extinguishing agents are essential for safely suppressing electrical fires without increasing the risk of electric shock. Class C fires occur in energized electrical equipment, such as:
- Electrical panels
- Wiring
- Computers
- Machinery
- Appliances
Class K Fires – Cooking Oils & Grease
These specialized fire extinguishers are designed to quickly suppress grease fires and help prevent re-ignition. Class K fires involve high-temperature cooking oils and grease commonly found in:
- Commercial kitchens
- Restaurants
- Food service facilities
