      productsFM200

      FM200® systems are based on many years experience in the design, supply, installation and commissioning of gaseous fire fighting systems.

      FM200® (HFC 227ea) is known chemically as Heptafluoropropane and is manufactured by Dupont.  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.  

      FM200® contains no bromine or chlorine and therefore has zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP).

      The atmospheric lifetime of FM200® is between 31 and 42 years which along with its zero ODP presents a long-term solution to fire protection requirements.

      FM200® has been found to be less toxic than Halon 1301, which makes it safe for use in the fully automatic mode in occupied areas.

      Typically FM200® requires a design concentration of 7.9%, which is well below the 9% No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) on cardiac sensitisation.

      Features:

        Fast acting
        Electrically non-conductive
        Minimum cylinder storage space

      Applications:

      FM200® is effective in the protection of data processing, telecommunications and electronic equipment.
