FM-200® Fire Suppression Systems

FM-200® fire suppression systems are the most trusted replacement agent for Halon 1301.

USAS - FM-200 Fire Suppression Systems

The United States Environmental Protection Agency states, "HF-C227ea (FM-200®) does not deplete stratospheric ozone. In addition, HF-C227ea is the most effective of the proposed HFC substitutes for Halon 1301."*

FM-200® is so safe it has been approved for use as a designated replacement for CFC propellants in pharmaceutical metered dose inhalers like the ones used to dispense asthma medications.

Many fire systems can cause serious collateral damage to the very things they are supposed to protect. Items such as precious artwork, sensitive electronics and medical diagnostic equipment are being protected by fire systems designed to extinguish fires after they have grown to a size that can cause considerable damage from smoke, heat, and flame.

An FM-200® fire suppression system is designed to suppress a fire before it is of consequence. The clean agent system will not leave behind any residue, water, or corrosive material that causes collateral damage. FM-200® systems require less storage space and operate at lower pressures compared to inert gas systems also being sold as a replacement for Halon 1301.
