What Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher Contains?

A solution of potassium is the chemical element that is contained in this fire extinguisher. It works in two steps. First of all, the mist cools the fire and stops the fire from spreading by lowering the temperature. Secondly, it reacts with hot cooking oil to create a soapy substance through the saponification process. The soapy foam acts as a barrier between fat and oil and thus extinguishes the fire flame.
