Ammonium Phosphate is an essential fire extinguishing agent widely used for suppressing Class A, B, and C fires, making it versatile in various fire safety applications. This dry chemical compound effectively extinguishes fires by interrupting the chemical reaction, thereby preventing further combustion.

When dispersed onto a fire, Ammonium Phosphate forms a blanket-like coating that smothers the flames, cutting off their oxygen supply and cooling the fuel surface to prevent re-ignition. This makes it particularly effective for combating fires involving ordinary combustible materials (Class A), flammable liquids (Class B), and electrical equipment (Class C).

Ammonium Phosphate-based fire extinguishing agents are commonly found in dry chemical fire extinguishers and fixed fire suppression systems across a wide range of environments, including commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and residential spaces.
