Existing Halon and CO2 control systems are ideally suited for use with FM200 and can be modified to operate as part of a FM200 Fire Suppression System. The fire suppression agent used in FM200 Fire Suppression Systems (HFC-227ea) is an acceptable replacement for Halon 1301. HFC-227ea has a zero ozone depleting potential, a low global warming potential, and a short atmospheric lifetime. It is particularly useful where an environmentally acceptable agent is essential, where clean up of other media presents a problem, where weight versus suppression potential is a factor, where an electrically non-conductive medium is needed, and where people […]

The extinguishing agent used in FM200 Fire Suppression Systems is a compound of carbon, fluorine and hydrogen. It is colorless, odorless and electrically non-conductive. If a discharge occurs in an occupied space, personnel will be able to see and breathe, permitting them to leave the area safely. Fires are extinguished rapidly, typically knocking out class A, B and C fires in less than 10 seconds. This minimises atmospheric toxicity and the generation of smoke and soot. Physical and chemical actions combine in FM-200 fire suppression systems to form an irresistible fire fighting force. The physical properties of a FM200 Fire […]
