In today’s global

business environmen

t, the need for

clean agent fire

suppression has never

been greater.

Pem All

Critical electronics

are extremely

vulnerable to fire.

Pem All

A fast-acting

fire suppression

agent can prevent

catastrophic

consequences.

Surviving a Fire

The survival of your business depends on the type of fire protection you choose.

FM-200 is the Right Choice

FM-200 is the best protection for your business

•Prevent catastrophic damage

•Protect people

•Resume business quickly

FM-200 is the Right Choice

Fast and efficient

Safe for people

Environmentally responsible

Available long-term

Fast & Efficient Performance

Removes heat so fire can’t sustain itself

Fast & Efficient Performance

UL listed/FM approved

State-of-the-art detection equipment

Extinguishing design concentrations reached in 10 seconds or less

Fast & Efficient Performance

Performance confirmed under many conditions

Suppresses all classes of fires

•Class A•Class B•Class C

Fast & Efficient Performance

Halon 1301

CO2

Inert Gas

Compact storage space requirements

Human Safety

FM-200 is completely

safe for use in occupied

spaces.

FM-200 Safety Testing

FM-200 has the most comprehensive toxicity database of any clean agent

•The most thoroughly tested fire extinguishing agent ever

•Millions of $ invested in testing

Human Safety Concerns

NOAEL – Highest concentration at which no adverse effect is observed

•Clean agents are safe for occupied spaces up to the NOAEL

Human Safety Concerns

LOAEL – Lowest concentration at which an adverse effect is observed

•Use of clean agents up to the LOAEL can be permitted in occupied areas with–Adequate time delays

–Pre-discharge alarms

–Class B fuels

Safety Comparison

Design concentration vs. toxicity

All concentration levels are % v/v.

Human Safety

FM-200 is so safe, it has been designated as a replacement for

CFCs as propellant in medical inhalers.

Environmental Responsibility

FM-200 is the

environmentally

responsible choice for

clean agent fire

suppression.

Environmental Responsibility

FM-200 is the responsible choice by any measure

•Zero ozone depletion potential

•Low atmospheric lifetime

•Efficient use of resources

•Voluntary reduction of emissions

An Environmental Perspective

All human activities have an environmental impact

An uncontrolled fire will have a greater impact than the use of a suppression system

Fire suppression systems rarely discharge

FM-200 is the most

accepted and specified fire suppression

agent in the world.

The Future of FM-200

Long-Term Availability

Agent of choice for the leading fire suppression system manufacturers

No international production controls or limits

Supported by a Great Lakes Chemical Corporation, a global corporation committed to improving fire protection worldwide

Next Generation Agents?

Over 3,000 candidate molecules tested

•FM-200 identified as best agent

Industry R&D focused elsewhere•Pyrotechnics, Water Mist and Blends

FM-200 R&D developing new applications and improved manufacturing

You’ve got a big decision.

We’ve got a world of

information.

Fast and efficient

Safe for people

Safe for environment

Available long-term

Time and again, FM-200 is the

proven choice.

Establish your

criteria.

Focus on the facts.

Only FM-200 meets

every requiremen

t for total fire protection.
