Fire Suppression Clean Agent

UL RECOGNISED COMPONENT – CLEAN AGENTS FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
AND EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM UNITS – COMPONENT (GARZ2)

INTRODUCTION

Introducing one of the most sustainable and environment friendly Fire suppression clean agent specially designed and developed for protecting your critical assets and special hazards.

AutoFireX® FK-5-1-12, besides being an effective Halon replacement alternate offers a unique combination of large margin of safety, very low environmental impact and an excellent extinguishing performance making it the most appropriate clean and green fire suppression agent for use in Fire Suppression systems, Total Flood systems and Fire Extinguishers.

AutoFireX® FK-5-1-12, is a fluorinated ketone which is also recognised under the systematic name 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone.

KEY FEATURES

UL Recognised Component

Clean Agents For Fire Extinguishers And Extinguishing System Units – Component (GARZ2)

ODP

Zero ODP – Ozone depleting potential

NOAEL level

Higher NOAEL level (No Observable Adverse Effect Level for acute toxicity)

Rapid Transition

Rapid transition from Liquid to Gas enables the agent to achieve vapour extinguishing concentration in air to be dispersed as Gas (using appropriate Nozzles)

Easily Stored and Transported

Being Liquid at room temperature can easily be stored and transported unpressurised in suitable drums/containers.

Atmospheric Lifetime

Very short Atmospheric lifetime on discharge – 5 days

Global Warming

Low Global Warming impact -GWP =1

Safety Margins

Wider Safety Margins than conventional clean agents (675-150%)

Faster Evaporation

Faster Evaporation than water (50times) due to low heat vaporisation than water and higher vapour pressure

Dielectric Strength

High dielectric strength

Low Toxicity

Low Toxicity (No harm to humans on controlled discharge)

Design

Low Design concentrations (4-6.5%)

Easy Clean up

Clean discharge-leaves no residue and easy for post fire clean up.

Extinguishes Fires

Effectively extinguishes Fires on discharge by absorbing heat and interruption of chemical chain reaction.
