AutoFireX® FK-5-1-12 Fire Suppression Clean Agent
AutoFireX® FK-5-1-12
FIRE SUPPRESSION CLEAN AGENT
UL RECOGNISED COMPONENT – CLEAN AGENTS FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
AND EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM UNITS – COMPONENT (GARZ2)
INTRODUCTION
Introducing one of the most sustainable and environment-friendly Fire suppression clean agents specially designed and developed for protecting your critical assets and special hazards.
AutoFireX® FK-5-1-12, besides being an effective Halon replacement alternate offers a unique combination of the large margin of safety, very low environmental impact, and an excellent extinguishing performance making it the most appropriate clean and green fire suppression agent for use in Fire Suppression systems, Total Flood systems, and Fire Extinguishers.
AutoFireX® FK-5-1-12, is a fluorinated ketone which is also recognised under the systematic name 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone.
KEY FEATURES
UL Recognised Component
Clean Agents For Fire Extinguishers And Extinguishing System Units – Component (GARZ2)
​Very short Atmospheric lifetime on discharge – 5 days
Atmospheric Lifetime
Low Toxicity (No harm to humans on controlled discharge)
Low Toxicity
Zero ODP – Ozone depleting potential
ODP
​Low Global Warming impact -GWP =1
Global Warming
Low Design concentrations (4-6.5%)
Design
NOAEL level
​Higher NOAEL level (No Observable Adverse Effect Level for acute toxicity)
Safety Margins
Wider Safety Margins than conventional clean agents (675-150%)
Clean discharge-leaves no residue and easy for post fire clean up.
Easy Clean up
Rapid transition from Liquid to Gas enables the agent to achieve vapour extinguishing concentration in air to be dispersed as Gas (using appropriate Nozzles)
Rapid Transition
Faster Evaporation
Faster Evaporation than water (50times) due to low heat vaporisation than water and higher vapour pressure
Extinguishes Fires
Effectively extinguishes Fires on discharge by absorbing heat and interruption of chemical chain reaction.
Being Liquid at room temperature can easily be stored and transported unpressurised in suitable drums/containers.
Easily Stored and Transported
Dielectric Strength
High dielectric strength
TYPICAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
APPLICATIONS
Some of the most common special hazards that are protected with this agent are Server and electronic control rooms, telecommunication switch rooms, Electrical Switchgear rooms, and plant control centers, critical marine application onboard ships/vessels, Oil & Gas Offshore and onshore platform applications/equipment’s.
