In the realm of fire safety, the choice of extinguishing agents is critical for effectively combating fires while minimising collateral damage. Ceasefire’s Fluoroketone (FK) based Fire Extinguishers are upping the game in the Clean Agent extinguishing category by not only being residue-free and safe to be used on sensitive equipment but also safe on humans even when used in confined areas.
Clean agent FK-based fire extinguishers today offer unmatched advantages in both performance and environmental sustainability. Let’s delve into why Fluoroketone as an agent is becoming increasingly popular -
Safe for People
Ceasefire's FK-based extinguishers are safe for use in enclosed environments with people present. They effectively suppress fires without compromising oxygen levels or hampering visibility allowing for safer evacuation and ensuring the safety of individuals during firefighting operations. This makes FK as an agent particularly favourable compared to Powder, CO2, or other chemical-based agents where human safety is a top priority.
Non-conductive and Safe for Sensitive Equipment
FK extinguishers are non-conductive and leave no residue, making them safe to use on live electrical equipment without causing damage. This feature is especially important in data centres, server rooms, and other environments housing sensitive electronics.
Environmental Friendliness
One of the key advantages of Fluoroketone is its minimal environmental impact. With a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 1 and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), it offers a highly sustainable alternative to traditional halon-based agents. This makes it an excellent choice for companies focused on reducing their environmental footprint and meeting sustainability targets.
Free from F-Gas Regulations
Fluoroketone as an agent is outside the purview of F-Gas regulations, which promote the use of low-GWP gases in fire suppression. This gives freedom of operation to businesses and offers a long-term trade solution.
Low-Pressure Technology
FK extinguishers being powered by low-pressure technology are absolutely safe to be deployed in spaces which have a high human presence. This not only improves user safety but also optimises performance in critical situations, where controlled release of the extinguishant in a manually operated extinguisher is crucial.
Minimal Cleanup and Downtime
Fluoroketone requires minimal cleanup, as it leaves no residue. This results in shorter downtimes for businesses and less disruption to operations compared to other extinguishing agents, which often leave behind residue that requires more extensive cleanup.
Prevention of Freeze Burns
An advantage of FK-based fire extinguishers is that they do not pose the risk of freeze burns, a concern often associated with CO2 fire extinguishers, which can cause localised freezing when discharged.
Compact Design and Ease of Handling
Ceasefire's FK-based extinguishers typically come in compact, lightweight designs, making them easy to handle and manoeuvre in emergency situations. Their ergonomic build ensures quick deployment by trained personnel, enhancing fire response efficiency. This is a huge advantage as compared to other types of extinguishers such as CO2 extinguishers, which tend to be bulkier and heavier, making them more challenging to operate in urgent scenarios.
Fluoroketone (FK) is an advanced, eco-conscious solution for today’s fire safety needs. Safe for people, gentle on sensitive equipment, and environmentally friendly, they offer reliable performance with minimal cleanup and downtime. A smart option for businesses that value both safety and sustainability. For more information, visit Ceasefire Clean Agent FK-Based Fire Extinguishers to learn more.
