Specification of Kidde FM-200 System Fire Extinguisher
FM-200 is a colourless, odourless gas
containing only carbon, hydrogen and
fluorine, thereby lacking the ozonedepleting presence of bromine atoms.
Highly penetrative and achieving an
homogeneous dispersion in the hazard
zone, it acts on fires largely by
physical means, lowering the
temperature of the flame and fuel to
a point at which combustion reactions
cannot be sustained. There is no
significant obscuration on discharge
and this non-corrosive and electrically
non-conductive agent causes no
damage to sensitive equipment with
no post-discharge clean-up required
