PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
FM-200 (CF CHFCF - heptafluoropropane) is a compound that
3
3
consists of carbon, fluorine and hydrogen.
It is colorless,
odorless, electrically non-conductive, and suppresses fire by
interrupting the combustion process and affecting the available
oxygen content in the area of the discharge.
FM-200 is clean, efficient, environmentally acceptable, and
leaves no residue, thus minimizing any downtime after a fire.
If exposed to temperatures greater than 1300°F, toxic products
of decomposition (hydrogen fluoride) are formed. The system is
designed to discharge in 10 seconds or less to minimize the
amount of toxic byproduct formed during extinguishment of
flames. Most materials contained in areas protected by FM-200,
such as aluminum, brass, rubber, plastics, steel, and electronic
components, are unaffected when exposed to FM-200.
FM-200 is stored as a liquid in steel containers and super-
pressurized with nitrogen to 360 psig (2482 kPa) to increase its
discharge flow characteristics. When discharged, FM-200 will
vaporize at the discharge nozzles and effectively mix with the air
throughout the protected area.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
In accordance with NFPA Standard 2001 and the EPA Significant
New Alternative Program (SNAP), personnel exposure to FM-200
total flooding system concentrations shall be limited to the
following:
The discharge of FM-200 into a hazard may cause a reduction in
visibility for a brief period. Any direct contact with the agent can
cause frostbite.
A cylinder containing FM-200 should be carefully handled.
All
anti-recoil devices must be in place at all times when the
cylinder is not restrained.
The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) covering FM-200 should
be read and understood prior to working with the agent.
