FM 200
FM-200® (HFC 227ea, known chemically as Heptafluoropropane), is a colorless, odorless gas that is liquefied under pressure for storage. It is thermally and chemically stable, but without the extremely long atmospheric lifetimes associated with other proposed Halon replacements. FM-200® has been specially created to suppress fire by reaching extinguishing levels in seconds, reducing the oxygen supply to below combustion levels and stopping ordinary, electrical, and flammable liquid fires before they can cause significant damage.
That’s the fastest fire protection available, period! This also means less damage, less downtime and an extra margin of safety. Not only does FM-200® put out fires in a very short period of time, it leaves no residue or oily deposits on delicate electronic equipment, and can be removed from the protected space by ventilation.
FM-200® flooding system is a suppression system that achieves extensive coverage. This self-activated system uses advanced technology to achieve maximum extinguishing efficiency. Here’s how it works.
The FM-200 Fire Suppression System is an engineered system utilizing a fixed nozzle agent distribution network. The system is designed and installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 2001, “Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems.”
FM200 is a colourless gas which is liquified under pressure for storage. Like Halon 1301 it has a low toxicity level and is superpressurised with Nitrogen to 24.8bar (360psi). It rapidly extinguishes most commonly found fires through a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms.
