Did you know there are other ways to put out a fire than just using water? Fire suppression systems are systems that use non-water substances to distinguish a fire. FM-200 suppression systems are a common system used for buildings that are sensitive to water sprinkler systems. These systems are clean agent fire suppressions that extinguish a fire through a chemical called “heptafluoropropane”. Essentially it puts out the FM-200 chemical that removes the heat or free radicals necessary for a fire to live. This is an alternative way to put out a fire from the typical water fire sprinkler.
Why Use FM-200 Systems?
There are many benefits of using these suppression systems. These benefits include:
- Does not harm water sensitive assets-your valuable assets are not at risk for water damage with the FM-200 suppression system.
- Fast reaction-FM-200 suppression is quick in reacting to fires by taking out the essential elements that a fire needs to live. The response can be within a matter of seconds, preventing the fire from getting out of hand.

- Safe for humans and environment– If this system were to discharge the substances into a room containing occupants, the occupants would not be at a health risk. Also, for those businesses promoting environment friendly practices, this substance has a zero ozone depletion rate.
