Environmental Features:
FM200® contains no bromine or chlorine and therefore has zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP).
The atmospheric lifetime of FM200® is between 31 and 42 years which along with its zero ODP presents a long-term solution to fire protection requirements.
Safety:
FM200® has been found to be less toxic than Halon 1301, which makes it safe for use in the fully automatic mode in occupied areas.
Typically FM200® requires a design co…..

Advantages of using CO2 are :-

Non-corrosive
Non Conductive
Zero Ozone Depletion
Zero Global Warming (as fire suppression CO2 is nor taken from a fossil fuel)
Easily distributed
CO2 can be used as a common bank arrangement with diverter/distribution valves directing it to multiple enclosures

Chemical Properties of Novec 1230 fluid
Novec 1230 fluid is formed from the elements carbon, fluorine and oxygen [CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2 %u2013 dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one]. The primary extinguishing mechanism of Novec 1230 fluid is heat absorption, with a secondary chemical contribution from the thermal decomposition of Novec 1230 fluid in the flame.
Novec 1230 fluid leaves no residue and is safe for use in occupied spaces.
