What is an FM-200 fire suppression system?
FM-200™ is a colorless, compressed liquefied gas used to extinguish fires and is a popular replacement for Halon fire suppression systems. FM-200™ fire suppression systems are pressurized with nitrogen, waterless, and upon activation, FM-200™ discharges as a gas to suppress the fire.
Why is FM-200 banned?
Why is Halon banned? Halon, which was once one of the most effective and popular agents for suppressing fires, was banned because it is an ozone-depleting chemical. Since the ban on Halon 1211 and 1301, FM-200™ has become a leading clean agent commonly used in gaseous fire suppression systems for the last 20+ years.
What is FM 200 stand for?
