Why Choose FM-200 Fire Suppression?

FM-200 (also known as HFC-227ea) was developed as a clean, safe alternative to Halon, which was phased out due to its ozone-depleting properties. With more than a decade of real-world use in over 70 countries, FM-200 has proven its effectiveness and reliability in protecting critical facilities.

• Stops Fires in 10 Seconds or Less: FM-200 systems extinguish fires within 10 seconds or less at the earliest stage, minimising property damage and reducing the risk of injury or operational disruption.
• Waterless and Residue-Free Suppression: Unlike water, CO₂, or dry chemical extinguishers, FM-200 leaves no oily residues, particulates, or corrosive by-products. This makes it ideal for protecting:
  • Electronics and IT systems
  • Telecommunications infrastructure
  • Medical devices
  • Rare documents and artworks
  • Sensitive control rooms
• Environmentally Responsible: FM-200 does not deplete the ozone layer and is globally accepted as an eco-conscious choice. In many cases, installing a fire suppression system that rapidly controls fires is a more environmentally responsible decision than allowing an uncontrolled fire to spread.
• Safe for Occupied Spaces: FM-200 can be safely used where people are present. Backed by one of the most extensive toxicological databases available, it’s even approved as a propellant in asthma inhalers, highlighting its superior safety profile.
• Space-Saving Design: In modern business environments, space efficiency matters. FM-200 is stored as a liquid in high-pressure cylinders and requires up to seven times less storage space than inert gas systems. This makes it the perfect solution for compact or congested installations.
