Nontoxic Colorless Heptafluoropropane FM200 Clean Agent with 5.80 Burner Extinguishing Concentration for Fire Suppression Systems

HFC-227ea, also known as FM200, is an odorless, colorless halocarbon existing in a gaseous state. It is primarily used in two applications: as a clean agent in fire suppression systems, and in pharmaceutical metered dose inhalers such as those used for dispensing asthma medication.

As a clean agent in fire suppression systems, FM200 is effective against Class B, Class C, and electrical fires. Extinguishing a fire requires a concentration between 6.25% and 9% in an occupied space without a mandated egress time, or up to 10.5% for a limited duration. This upper limit is set because the NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) indicates that FM200 becomes toxic at concentrations of 10.5%.

Because it contains no chlorine or bromine atoms, FM200 does not harm the ozone layer, with an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0%. Its atmospheric lifetime ranges between 31 and 42 years.

FM200 is a clean gas agent that completely vaporizes without leaving residue in the atmosphere and offers excellent electrical insulation in the gas phase. It is suitable for extinguishing electrical fires through total flooding, as well as fires involving fusible solids, liquids, and solid surfaces.

Typical application environments include computer rooms, communication rooms, transformer rooms, precision instrument rooms, generator rooms, oil depots, chemical flammable material warehouses, online libraries, archives, and treasuries. FM200 fire extinguishing systems feature a reasonable structure and reliable operation, and are widely deployed in computer rooms, archives, program-controlled exchange rooms, TV broadcasting centers, financial institutions, government agencies, and other critical facilities.
