What is a Purple-K fire extinguisher?

It’s a fire extinguisher that contains a purple dye.  It’s not typically used in residential settings, but for things like large commercial buildings or shipyard facilities.

Why does it have a purple dye? Is it for fighting a specific kind of fire?
user
It’s meant for fighting grease and oil fires.  The dye makes the flames easier to see.

Okay that makes sense. From what I read online it's 4 to 5 times more effective than than regular CO2 base fire extinguishers. It's main purpose is a commercial grade fire extinguisher for Class B fire.
