The chemical melts at approximately 350 F and coats the surface to which it is applied. Class B Fire Extinguishers ABC multi-purpose fire extinguishers put out Class B (flammable liquid) fires by smothering them and breaking up the chain reaction involved in the fire. Class C Fire Extinguishers ABC multi-purpose fire extinguishers are electrically non-conductive, making them safe for Class C (electrical) fires.
