FK-5-1-12
Best For: Electrical cabinets, server racks, telecom, marine electronics, industrial control systems, CNC machines, BESS/UPS.
System Compatibility: DLP, ILP, DHP
Overview
FK-5-1-12 is a premium clean agent known for extremely fast knockdown, zero residue, and outstanding environmental safety. It is non-conductive, safe for energized equipment, and leaves no moisture or particulate behind.
Key Advantages
• Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
• Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1
• No cleanup required
• Safe for sensitive electronic equipment
• Atmospheric lifetime of ~5 days
• UL, NFPA 2001, ISO 14520 compliant
How It Extinguishes Fires
FK-5-1-12 removes heat from the combustion zone and interrupts the chemical chain reaction of the fire — achieving suppression within seconds.
HFC-227ea
Best For: Data/IT enclosures, telecom, marine electronics, power systems, industrial cabinets.
System Compatibility: DLP, ILP, DHP
Overview
HFC-227ea is a widely adopted clean agent with a long history of use in mission-critical industries. It discharges rapidly, is safe for energized equipment, and leaves no residue.
Key Advantages
• Fast response and extinguishing capability
• Electrically non-conductive
• No residue or cleanup
• Ideal for small to medium-sized enclosures
• NFPA 2001 compliant
How It Extinguishes Fires
HFC-227ea absorbs heat at a high rate, cooling the flame zone and stopping combustion almost instantly.
CO₂
Best For: Industrial machinery, unmanned enclosures, high-risk mechanical spaces, manufacturing equipment, generators, turbines, petrochemical environments.
System Compatibility: DHP, IHP, ILP (CO₂ variant)
Overview
CO₂ is a highly effective fire suppression agent for non-occupied hazards. It displaces oxygen and cools the protected enclosure, making it especially effective for deep-seated or rapidly developing fires.
Key Advantages
• Extremely effective on Class B & C fires
• No residue — clean, dry gas
• Suitable for harsh industrial environments
• Widely used in manufacturing and mechanical spaces
• Cost-effective for large enclosures
Safety Note
CO₂ is not recommended for occupied spaces due to oxygen displacement. Personnel must evacuate before discharge.
ABC Dry Powder
Best For: Industrial cabinets, machinery compartments, battery housings, fuel stations, vehicle engine bays, high-temperature environments.
System Compatibility: DHP, Direct Powder, ILP-Powder
Overview
ABC Dry Powder is a high-performance extinguishing agent suitable for a wide variety of fire classes, including energized electrical hazards, flammable liquids, and general combustibles.
Key Advantages
• Extremely fast flame knockdown
• Effective on Class A, B, and C fires
• Works in harsh temperatures and dusty environments
• Compatible with mechanical and industrial machinery
• Cost-effective and powerful
How It Extinguishes Fires
Dry powder interrupts the chemical reaction of the fire and smothers the flame. It is highly effective for equipment with heavy electrical loading or fuel-based hazards.
