FM-200 Fire Suppression Systems - Firetrace
What is the Chemical Name for FM-200&#; Gas?
The chemical name for FM-200&#; is 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane. It is also referred to as hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) 227ea and is manufactured by Chemours under the trademark FM-200&#;. The gas is a colorless, compressed liquefied gas used to extinguish fires and is a popular replacement for Halon fire suppression systems. FM-200&#; fire suppression systems are pressurized with nitrogen, waterless, and upon activation, FM-200&#; discharges as a gas to suppress the fire.

Is FM-200&#; Gas Dangerous?
The gas is low in toxicity and does not pose acute or long-term dangers when handled per the manufacturers&#; recommendations. The vapors from FM-200&#; have little to no effect on the skin or eyes, but when in liquid form, on contact, it can freeze the skin or eyes, causing frostbite. In the case of inhaling high concentrations of FM-200&#; vapors, over the recommended exposure limits, one may experience headache, dizziness, loss of coordination, confusion, and in a worst-case scenario, loss of consciousness. When following manufacturers' guidelines, FM-200&#; is safe for use in fully occupied areas.
What is the Difference Between FM-200&#; and 3M Novec Fluid?
Suppression systems using FM-200&#; and 3M Novec fluid are similar in that they are both safe to use in occupied spaces, do not damage sensitive equipment, and do not require clean up. While both substances are fast-acting, clean agent fire suppression systems, they differ slightly. 3M Novec fluid's chemical compound is a fluoroketone and is stored as a liquid and discharges as a gas. These systems may require larger or more cylinders than an FM-200&#; system, based on the area you are protecting. Both substances cause no ozone depletion and are considered environmentally friendly; however, 3M Novec fluid does have a lower GWP.

FM-200&#; systems offer exceptionally fast fire protection, reaching extinguishing levels in ten seconds or less. They stop ordinary combustible, electrical, and flammable liquid fires before they cause significant damage, and are safe for use around people.
The ability to extinguish a fire this quickly equates to:
- Less damage
- Lower repair costs
- Extra margin of safety for people
- Less downtime and disruption of business
FM-200&#; fire suppression systems are the superior choice, particularly in applications where space is a premium. The FM-200&#; agent is stored in cylinders as a liquid and pressurized with nitrogen, saving significant storage space. In fact, for the same amount of protection, FM-200&#; systems take up to seven times less storage space than systems based on CO&#; and inert gases.
