Understanding FM200 Suppression Systems

FM200 suppression systems are widely used for protecting critical assets such as server rooms, data centers, and telecommunication facilities. They offer a fast, clean, and safe method of extinguishing fires without causing water damage.

How FM200 Works

FM200 is a colorless gas that extinguishes fire by removing heat from the flame. It is stored as a liquid in cylinders and discharged as a gas when activated. It reaches extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less.

Advantages

  • Fast acting: Extinguishes fire in seconds.
  • No residue: Does not leave any oily residue or water, safe for electronics.
  • Safe for people: Non-toxic at design concentrations.
  • Environmentally friendly: Zero ozone depletion potential.
