Purple K extinguishers contain a dry chemical agent primarily made up of potassium bicarbonate, which is effective against flammable liquid fires (Class B) and electrical fires (Class C). The "purple" refers to the color of the powder, which also includes additives to enhance performance and prevent clumping. These extinguishers are often used in industrial settings and by firefighters due to their effectiveness in suppressing fires involving flammable liquids.
