FirePro® fire extinguishing system
Key points
- Is not harmful to people, animals or plants – non-toxic, does not smother flames by removing oxygen, bears the 'Green Product' seal of approval. Laboratory tests have shown that FirePro® aerosol has no detrimental effects on soil, water, air, climate, animals, plants or micro-organisms.
- Is non-corrosive – will not damage equipment or materials. Contains no corrosive elements, which means that machines, supplies and other materials remain completely unharmed. During operations with other extinguishers, objects not destroyed by fire were often ruined by the extinguishing agents used, such as water, foam and powder.
- Is compact, easy to transport and simple to install – will not cause lengthy disruptions in operations while installation work is going on.
- Works independently and automatically – no external electric feed or compressed air needed, no costly duct installations, pumps or large-volume tanks necessary. Simple hook-up to any conventional alarm, detection or activation system.
- Is environmentally friendly and safe for the ozone layer – no emissions of ozone-depleting substances.
- ODP = Ozone Depletion Potential = 0
- ◦GWP = Global Warming Potential = 0
- ◦ALT = Atmospheric Life Time = negligible
- Maintenance required is negligible in comparison with that needed for the upkeep of other conventional systems.
- Efficient and effective extinguishing system – 25+ grams of extinguishing material are needed to protect 1 cubic metre, in comparison with 200-350 grams of Halon and 700-1,500 grams of CO2.
- Containers are not pressurised, which means that they pose no danger whatsoever if they are close to or even at the centre of a fire. This is in sharp contrast to pressurised containers, which must meet all the applicable safety standards with regard to pressure and temperature.
