FM-200® Gas Systems

FM-200® is the clear choice for a fast, clean fire protection agent. Introduced as a Halon replacement in 1993, it quickly gained acceptance as the world’s leading clean gaseous fire extinguishing agent. When it comes to fire protection, there can be no compromise.
Chemical Based Extinguishing Systems

FM-200® extinguishes fire via a combination of chemically based fire inhibition and cooling. It is environmentally acceptable, safe to use with sensitive equipment, fast-acting, efficient and effective. FM-200® extinguishes fires primarily by physically cooling the flame; removing heat from the flame to the extent that the combustion reaction cannot sustain itself.

Chemetron FM-200® fire suppression systems work hand-in-hand with state-of-the-art control and detection components to identify and extinguish fires, long before substantial fire damage can occur. Without changing your current control panel or detection systems, an existing system can be easily converted to FM-200®.

Test after test supports the conclusion that FM-200® is as safe for humans as it is effective at fighting fires, leaving no harmful or messy residue. FM-200® must be used with properly designed, installed and maintained equipment for maximum fire protection and coverage. When it comes to fire protection there can be no compromise – contact us to day to learn more about our FM-200® system solutions.

High & Low Pressure Carbon Dioxide Gas Systems

CO2 is fast, efficient, cost-effective and adaptable for a wide range of hazards. The discharge of CO2, a low cost clean agent, is non-damaging to property and electrically non-conductive. Multi-hazard, high risk protection can be designed to provide automatic, simultaneous discharge for a variety of hazards and configurations using high and low pressure systems. Low pressure systems and equipment are best suited for applications where large quantities of CO2 are needed. High pressure systems are recommended for smaller hazards or where space is limited. We work with each client to select the system best suited to an application based on performance, costs, logistics, maintenance, and personnel safety.

Benefits of a CO2 System

Fast & Effective - CO2 is a three-dimensional clean agent. Within seconds, it penetrates the entire hazard area to smother the combustion
Efficient - CO2 is colorless and odorless. It exists as a gas in the earth’s atmosphere and is one of the byproducts of combustion
Non-Conductive - CO2 is electrically non-conductive and three-dimensional, allowing use for a wide variety of special applications
Adaptive - CO2 is effective on a wide range of flammable and combustible materials in both surface and deep-seated fires
Recognized - by the top independent listing and approval agencies
Non-Damaging - CO2 is normally harmless to equipment, materials and property. It does not cause spoilage, requires no clean-up and leaves no residue, thus minimizing downtime after a fire
