FM 200 Systems

  
  FM-200 is a clean agent fire protection for vital facilities. It extinguishes fires  using a combination of chemicals that inhibit fires. It is environmentally safe and can be used with sensitive equipment. This types of extinguisher can be used for telecommunications, computers, control rooms, marine systems, libraries, paint mixing rooms, universities, museums art galleries, and other facilities where water damage must be avoided. It is non toxic.

It is stored in cylinders and is delivered to nozzles through piping. The fire is detected, a control panel sounds an alarm, disconnects the power and then releases the agent.

FM200 extinguishes fires through heat absorption.  The compounds are known as HFCs and they remove the heat energy from a fire so the fire cannot sustain itself.  FM200 also releases small amounts of free radicals upon exposure to flames. Free radicals inhibit the chain reaction responsible for combustion.

FM200 does not reduce oxygen levels so it is safe around people.Benefits of using FM 200

  • Fast-acting-it can stop fires in seconds; resulting in less damage, repairs costs and added safety.
  • Safe for people
  • No collateral damage. There is no oily residue, water damage or corrosive material
  • Environmentally responsible-it will not deplete the ozone layer
  • Very little storage space is required

It is the most widely accepted clean agent in the world.
