damaged by fire? If your company is
typical of todays high-productivity,
cost-conscious facilities, the answer is
no, we cant have our operation
interrupted by any type of fire.
Thats why a Kidde IND Dry Chemical
System is your best choice for protec-
tion of any industrial process or
machinery where flammable liquids
or hazardous materials are involved.
Versatile Fire Suppression
Kidde IND Systems use either Class
ABC or Class BC dry chemical to sup-
press fire. Pound for pound, dry
chemical suppresses more fire than
any other agent, providing both rapid
suppression and protection against
fire re-ignition. Our sodium bicarbon-
ate-based dry chemical is more effec-
tive than water on Class B (flammable
liquid) and Class C (electrical) fires.
ABC dry chemical also suppresses Class
A (wood, paper, cloth) fires. Both are
environmentally safe, non-toxic and
economical to use in both initial
installations and recharge situations.
No wonder dry chemical is preferred
for more applications throughout
industry than any other agent.
