La poudre sèche est pratiquement le seul agent extincteur utilisé sous forme solide. Les produits pulvérulents les plus employés sont les bicarbonates de sodium et de potassium. [...] La poudre sèche doit être parfaitement protégée de l'humidité afin d'éviter qu'elle ne s'agglomère en un bloc compact. L'hydrofugation est obtenue en enrobant chaque grain de particules grasses, stéarate en général, ou d'un film isolant d'autre nature. 3, record 1, French, - poudre%20extinctrice%20Purple%20K
