FM-200 - HFC227 ea Extinguishing System - Synergy Fire Protection -

APPLICATION / DESCRIPTION

FM-200 provides superior fire protection in a wide range of applications from sensitive electrical equipment to industrial applications using flammable liquids.

FM-200 is ideal for applications where clean-up of other media presents a problem, where weight versus suppression potential is a factor, where an

electrically non-conductive medium is needed and where people compatibility is an overriding factor. When environmental impact is a consideration, FM-200

is particularly useful. It has zero ozone-depleting potential, low global warming potential and a short atmospheric lifetime. These characteristics make it suitable not only for new installations using total flooding systems, but also for Halon 1301 replacement applications.

FM-200 is an odorless, colorless, liquefied compressed gas. It is stored as a liquid and dispensed into the hazard as a colorless, electrically nonconductive

vapor that is clear and does not obscure vision. It leaves no residue and has acceptable toxicity for use

in occupied spaces at design concentration. FM-200 extinguishes a fire by a combination of chemical and physical

mechanisms. FM-200 does not displace oxygen and therefore is safe for use in occupied spaces without fear of oxygen
