FM-200 is the clear choice for a fast, clean fire protection agent. Patented by Great Lakes Chemical Corporation as a Halon 1301 replacement in 1993, it has a quickly gained acceptance as the world's leading clean gaseous fire extinguishing agent.

FM-200 is the most environmentally friendly clean agent for use in fire protection systems worldwide. FM-200 is the clean agent protection for a range of sensitive applications.

FM-200 extinguishers fire primarily by physically cooling the flame; removing heat from the flame to the extent that the combustion reaction can not sustain itself. Test after test supports the conclusion that FM-200 is a safe for humans as it is effective at fighting fires, leaving no harmful or messy residue. FM-200 must be used with properly designed, installed and maintained equipment for maximum fire protection and coverage.

Fast acting and complete, with extinguishment capability within seconds via a combination of chemically based fire inhibition and cooling at the flame front. Extinguishing concentration is reached in seconds.

Safe, non-toxic and environmentally acceptable for sensitive equipment, FM-200 extinguishes fires by physically removing heat energy from the flame.

FM-200 Physical & Chemical Properties and quality standards

FM-200 (CF3CHFCF3 - heptafluoropropane) is a compound that consists of carbon, fluorine and hydrogen. It colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive, and suppresses fire by interrupting the combustion process and removing heat energy from the fire to the extent that the combustion process cannot sustain itself.

FM-200 is clean, efficient, environmentally acceptable, and leaves no residue, thus minimizing any downtime after a fire. If exposed to temperature greater than 1300 ÞF, toxic products of decomposition (hydrogen fluoride) are formed. Most materials contained in areas protected by FM-200, such as aluminium, brass, plastic, steel, and electronic components, are unaffected when exposed to FM-200.

FM-200 is stored as a liquid in steel containers and super-pressurized with nitrogen to 360 psig (2482kPa) to increase its discharge flow characteristic. When discharged, FM-200 will vaporize at the discharge nozzles and effectively mix with the air throughout the protected area.

FM-200 is produced under ISO 9002 guideline to strict manufacturing specifications insuring product purity. These safeguards give you total confidence that FM-200 will leave no residue or oil deposits in your sensitive application area.

It has been proven safe on a global scale, without restriction.
