Model FK-5-1-12 -Clean Agent Fire Suppression System
A Next Generation Halon 1301 replacement, FK-5-1-12 is an environmentally friendly solution for waterless fire suppression. Safe for human occupancy. Atmospheric Lifetime of less than 5 days, making Global Warming Potential (GWP) negligible. Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). Appears on US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) list. Discharges in 10 seconds or less to extinguish fires rapidly, minimizing damage to high value assets. Designed in accordance with NFPA 2001. UL listed and FM approved. Marine system with USCG and ABS approvals also available.
FK-5-1-12 is formed from the elements carbon, fluorine, and oxygen [CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2 – dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one]. The primary extinguishing mechanism of FK-5-1-12 is heat absorption, with a secondary chemical contribution from the thermal decomposition of FK-5-1-12 in the flame.
FK-5-1-12 leaves no residue and is safe for use in occupied spaces. It is electrically non-conductive and environmentally sustainable.
