HFC-227ea fire extinguishing systems HFC-227ea fire extinguishing agent is a clean, low toxic, gaseous product that does not deplete the ozone layer. it is a successfully developed fire-extinguishing agent until today. HFC-227ea is a good replacement for Halon in total flooding and fully immersing fire extinguishing systems. Wofu Fire Fighting & Security Co., China, offers fire extinguishing systems with HFC-227ea extinguishant. These systems have a design working pressure of 4.2 MPa, and an operational working pressure of minimum 3.6 MPa and maximum 5.4 MPa. They come with a gas cylinder with a capacity of 20, 30, 40, 60, 70, 100, 120, 150, 180 or 250 litres. They work from a DC power supply of 24 V. 0.5 A, and feature automatic and pneumatic manual start-up. Contact: Ms. Michelle Xue, Export Manager, Wofu Fire Fighting & Security Co.

Website: www.wofufire.com Fire suppression systems that use FM-200 Metalcraft Inc., the United States, has designed and developed fast-acting engineered automatic fire suppression systems that use FM-200, an environmentally responsible fire suppression agent that is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. FM-200 is a dry extinguishant that makes waterless fire extinguishing systems possible. Unlike water, FM-200 is non-conductive and non-corrosive, and therefore it is safe to use around all types of electronics and electrical equipment. The FM-200 suppression systems carry a United States Coast Guard approval, and are CE component certified for the European Union Market, besides the approval of Det Norske Veritas. The fire suppression systems from Metalcraft are highly flexible and custom-configured to cater to different application areas, both small-scale and large-scale. The company has developed, in conjunction with Great Lakes Chemical Corporation, a line of portable FM-200 fire extinguishers for applications such as aerospace, data centres, electronic facilities, mission critical facilities, defence and marine use.

FireWall fire extinguisher is totally environment-friendly with zero ozone depletion potential and zero global warming potential. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and the solid extinguishant does not need pressurized container. This aerosol fire extinguisher is three times more effective than Halon-based fire extinguishers, and is suitable for electronic equipment, panel board, engine room, special facilities, motor vehicles, ships and train.

In case of a fire, this extinguishing charge consisting of potassium nitrate and nitroguanidine is ignited electrically, thermally or manually to react. The chemical reaction generates potassium carbonate, which flows through a cooling area along with the simultaneously generated reactive gases and then out of the openings at the bottom of the extinguisher, emerging into the environment as a fine aerosol. The average particle size of the aerosol is between 0.5 m and 2.5 m. The extinguishing principle is not based on the removal of the oxygen important for combustion or on cooling, as is the case with other fire extinguishers. It is the combination of a physical and a chemical process. The ionization in the flame draws energy from the combustion process. Free radicals in the flame are bound by the potassium carbonate, thus stopping the chain reaction. Dynameco fire extinguishers are manufactured as per the major standards and is listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a Halon substitute. They are designed for fire suppression in a wide range of fields, including electro-technical facilities and equipment, kitchens, machines, ships and vehicles. They have zero ozone depletion potential and zero global warming potential. Contact: Dynamit Nobel Defence GmbH, Dr.-Hermann-Fleck-Allee 8, D-57299 Burbach-Wrgendorf, Germany. E-mail: info@dynameco.com Website: www.dynameco.com Low-ODP fire extinguishers Bestfriend brand fire extinguishers, from Riser Enterprises Philippines, use HCFC-123 and FE-36 chemicals. These chemicals, manufactured by DuPont, are very advanced and pre-engineered fire extinguishants with low ozone depleting potential (ODP). HCFC-123, a viable replacement for the Halon 1211, is a multi-purpose vapour type fire extinguisher that has low ODP and low toxicity levels. FE-36, considered the perfected version of HCFC-123, is non-toxic and has zero ODP. Contact: Mr. Almond Yatco, Luzon Buying Office Inc., 340 Dr. J.

Website: www.alibaba.com AF11E fire extinguishing agent Hartindo AF11E fire extinguishing agent, from MSE Enviro-Tech Corp. in the United States, is claimed to be the worlds only proven 1:1 direct replacement for both Halon 1301 and 1211. It belongs to the halocarbon group of vaporizing liquid fire extinguishing chemicals. It is similar in action to Halons, but without any of the environmental or toxicity problems associated with them. In portable form, Hartindo AF11E equals Halon 1211 BCF (LPC-UK, EN3) in performance. It is electrically non-conductive and does not leave any residue. Contact: MSE Enviro-tech Corp., 330 Franklin Road, Suite 135A, Brentwood, TN 37027, United States of America.
