FM-200™ Fire Extinguishing Agent is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) with the ASHRAE designation of HFC-227ea and is manufactured by Chemours. It has also been marketed as FE-227™. Chemically, it is heptafluoropropane, CF3-CHF-CF3. It does not contain bromine, like Halon 1301 (CF3Br), which is the component identified as contributing to the depletion of the earth’s ozone layer. With zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), FM-200™ is environmentally preferred and is an acceptable Halon 1301 alternative.
FM-200™ was one of the first Halon 1301 alternatives on the market. It is accepted worldwide and has a history of protecting some of the world’s most critical and irreplaceable assets.
BFPE International maintains a stock of FM-200™. In the event you have a discharge, we are able to recharge your system so that you are able to resume business with minimal interruption.
