Purple K powder was big . . . . in 1966.
Is it still available?

Can’t tell you much about foam but powder = disaster.  It gets in every nook 
and cranny and is moderately corrosive. Wires rubber and plastic melt   Metal 
pits. Clean up is a pita.  

However they are somewhat idiot proof.  Unlike halon and co2 which require 
proper technique (aim low and sweep up the fire in a slow back and forth 
pattern)
