The white stuff in fire extinguishers is typically a chemical called dry chemical powder or monoammonium phosphate. This powder is a fire suppression agent that is effective for extinguishing different types of fires, such as those involving flammable liquids, gases, and electrical equipment. When released, the powder smothers the fire and helps to cool the fuel, preventing it from reigniting.
