9kg ABE Dry Chemical Powder Fire Extinguisher – High Performance
The 9kg ABE Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) Fire Extinguisher is the largest and most powerful handheld extinguisher in our ABE range—and one of our biggest sellers. Built for high-risk environments, it delivers exceptional performance on Class A, B, C, and E fire types and is trusted across construction, industrial, commercial, mining, and transport sectors.
This model comes complete with a hose and wall bracket, making installation easy and compliant from day one. It is especially popular on construction sites, industrial workplaces, and is commonly mounted to trucks, heavy machinery, and boats using galvanised brackets.

General Information
ABE Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) extinguishers are the most versatile and commonly used extinguishers in Australia. They provide fast knock-down performance and are safe for use on live electrical fires because DCP powder does not conduct electricity.
These extinguishers are ideal for environments with mixed fire risks, offering strong performance on flammable liquids, gases, and ordinary combustibles.
Where Not to Use
- Around sensitive electronics: Powder residue may be difficult to remove from delicate or hot components.
- Cooking oil & fat fires (Class F): Use a Wet Chemical extinguisher instead.
