Clean Agent Gases

When it comes to protecting critical and valuable assets, nothing comes close to UL listed FITECH227 clean agent. Low Global Warming Potential (GWP), short atmospheric life and zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) makes FITECH 227 an ideal clean agent fire suppressant.

FITECH 227 is an acceptable replacement for Halon 1301 for total flooding systems. It can be used to protect critical equipment and assets in enclosed areas where people are present such as Server rooms, Telecommunication facilities, Data centers, UPS & Battery rooms, Engine room & Machinery spaces on board ships, Control rooms on Offshore Platform & Rigs, Chemical & Petrochemical plants, Museums, Archives and so on.

Features:

• Meets the highest quality standards and certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
• Colorless, odorless and electrically non-conductive fire suppressant
• Environmentally safe & ozone friendly having Zero ODP
• Does not leave any residues or damage assets
• For use in occupied and unoccupied areas
• Low Global Warming Potential (GWP)
• Stored as a liquid and discharged as gaseous vapor
• Included on the U.S. EPA Significant New Alternative Policy (SNAP) Rules

HFC-125 fire suppression agent is an environmentally acceptable replacement for Halon 1301. HFC-125 has a zero ozone depleting potential, a low global warming potential, and a short atmospheric lifetime. It is particularly useful where an environmentally acceptable agent is essential, 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. HFC-125 can be used to protect a wide range of applications from sensitive electrical equipment to industrial applications. Consult the current NFPA Standard 2001 and/or ISO 14520 for specific applications. HFC-125 fire suppression agent is used with Fike's total flooding systems.

HFC-125 is an odorless, colorless, liquefied compressed gas. (See Physical Properties Table for additional information). It is stored as a liquid and dispensed into the hazard as a colorless, electrically non-conductive 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. HFC-125 extinguishes a fire by a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms. HFC-125 does not displace oxygen and therefore is safe for use in occupied spaces without fear of oxygen deprivation.

Performance

HFC-125 is an effective fire extinguishing agent that can be used on many types of fires. It is effective for many surface fires and most solid combustible materials.

On a weight-of-agent basis, HFC-125 is a very effective gaseous extinguishing agent. The minimum design concentration for normal Class A combustibles protecting a total flood application is 8%, in accordance with NFPA 2001 and 8.7%, in accordance with ISO.
