Dry Chemical Powder (BC) Stored Pressure Type
A stored-pressure extinguisher charged with BC dry powder and fitted with a pressure gauge for at-a-glance readiness checks. BC powder is formulated for flammable liquid (Class B) and gas (Class C) fires, which makes it well suited to solvent handling areas, drum storage, pump rooms and fuel dispensing points rather than general-purpose use. Stored-pressure construction means fewer parts and a quicker visual inspection. Widely used across the solvent-handling units of Ankleshwar and Panoli GIDC.

Why Choose Deep Fire Control?
Frequently Asked Questions
Why BC powder rather than ABC?
BC powder is formulated specifically for flammable liquid and gas fires. Where the risk is solvent, fuel or gas rather than general combustibles, BC is the targeted choice.
Where does it suit best?
Solvent handling areas, drum storage, pump rooms and fuel dispensing points — common across the Ankleshwar and Panoli estates.
How do I check it is ready to use?
Stored-pressure units carry a gauge. The needle should sit in the green band. If it has dropped, the unit needs servicing before it is relied on.
