Protect your property from fire damage with a clean, non-toxic extinguishant system

You need to protect your business from the risks and costs of fire damage.  You also need to adhere to environmental legislation.

We can help you do this with our range of environmentally friendly, non-toxic yet highly effective extinguishant systems, which can be integrated with detection and alarm systems for ultimate effectiveness.

We can offer you a range of extinguishant agents, including:

FM.200
	Fast & effective – within 10 seconds of initial discharge		Low global warming potential & short atmospheric life span
	No significant reduction in oxygen levels – so safe for use in busy occupied areas		Electronically non-conductive – to protect sensitive machinery & equipment
	Clean, gaseous agent that leaves no residue		Minimal cylinder storage requirement
	Zero ozone depleting potential – ideal replacement for Halon

Novec
	Clean & effective – leaves no residue		Short atmospheric lifetime
	Low toxicity level – safe to use		Stored as a liquid; discharged as a cooling gas
	Zero ozone depletion potential		Works through streaming or flooding
	Very low global warming potential

Carbon Dioxide
	Economical yet effective alternative		Works through flooding
	Very clean – leaves no residue, water or chemicals		Suitable for unoccupied areas
	Non-corrosive & non-conductive		Rapid clean up & minimal downtime

Argon
	Clean and effective		Zero ozone depletion potential
	Non-toxic and safe for use in occupied areas		Zero global warming potential
	Odorised for improved safety		Electrically non-conductive so suitable for protecting sensitive computers & equipment
	Non-damaging with no residue

Are you still using outdated extinguishants?

Halon has been used to great effect as an extinguishant since the 1950s and has proven to be particularly useful in protecting computers and IT equipment.  However, as a CFC based gas, Halon is environmentally damaging and its release during manufacture, decanting, use and misuse depletes the ozone layer.

As a result, Halon is no longer allowed as an extinguishant, as of 31st December 2003. 

However, Firefax design, install and maintain replacement systems using non-ozone depleting substances, such as FM200®.  The systems we install are environmentally friendly, as effective as the old Halon systems, non-damaging to computers and sensitive equipment and in many cases we can even reuse your existing pipework.

The benefits of Halon replacements include:

A clean agent, leaving no residue	Low environmental impact
Works quickly and effectively	Harmless on sensitive equipment
Safe for use in occupied areas	Requires similar storage space to Halon systems
