FM200FM200 (HFC227ea) is a synthetic fire suppression agent. FM200 extinguishes the fire by removing the free radicals or heat element of the fire triangle. The concentration of FM200 is typically 7.9% of the room volume and 8.5% for higher hazard area’s such as floor voids or area’s with higher fire risks. The main advantage of FM200 is the amount of agent required to suppress a fire. This means fewer cylinders, therfore less wasted space for storage of FM200 cylinders.
We offer both pre-engineered FM200 systems which require little or no distribution pipe, and engineered FM200 systems tailor made/designed for its application.
FM200 systems reach extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less, stopping ordinary combustible, electrical, and flammable liquid fires before they cause significant damage. FM200 extinguishes the fire quickly, which means less damage, lower repair costs, and an extra margin of safety for people. It also means less downtime and disruption of business.
FM200 is safe to use in occupied spaces. The safety of FM200 fire suppression environments is proven in over a decade of real-world experience and validated by extensive scientific studies. FM200 systems take up less storage space than most other fire suppressants.
In addition to the fire protection benefits of using FM200, the environment will benefit as well. FM200 fire suppressant does not deplete stratospheric ozone, and has a minimal impact on the environment relative to the impact a catastrophic fire would have. FM200 is a solution that’s already working in more than 100 thousand applications, in more than 70 nations around the world.
