Why FM 200 Is the Best Fire Suppression Agent
An ideal fire suppression agent is the one that
can put fire to rest without giving it much time
to cause damage. Apart from just acting
against fire, it should not harm the
surroundings too. There are many types of
agents to suppress fire; they have their own
chemical properties and ways to extinguish the
flames. Some of them are limited to some
classes of fire while the others can deal with a
greater range. But there are only a few which
do not affect their surroundings when
released. They leave an impact on the
surroundings and can cause extra work by
cleaning it up. Below are some of the common
types of fire suppression agents.
Why FM 200 Is the Best Fire Suppression Agent
Water Sprinklers
As understood by the name, it uses water. We
all know water is a very good fire killing agent
and it can put down the flames within a short
time. But when used, it clearly wets the area
and therefore the cleaning staff has to go
through extra cleaning work. Since water is
easily available through taps, it is the cheapest
to use and is used largely in homes and
residential apartments.

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
Fire Suppression
System
Why FM 200 Is the Best Fire Suppression Agent
Anyone who has studied since in school will know why CO2 is
termed as the fire killer. We don’t need to explain about the
characteristics of it but it is widely sold commercially for the same
purpose. Filled in fire extinguishers that we all know when we see
the different sized red single skinned cylinders and are best
measured by the ultrasonic liquid level indicator. There are two
forms of it being sold commercially. It is either present in liquefied
form or in the form of solid powder. Releasing it on the flames
causes diffusion of the flames and can make you overcome it very
quickly. The powdered form leaves the residue behind and hence
would need cleaning afterwards. The liquid form can also wet the
objects nearby and if the user isn’t too careful, he can harm them
through wetness and you can also see traces of marks left by it
afterwards.

FM 200 Fire Suppression Systems
FM 200 fire suppression system is a bit expensive but one
of the most useful one. It is also purchased from the
manufacturers and is also present in liquefied form. When
sprayed over the fire source it instantly reacts to break the
chain reaction. But unlike the CO2, it does not leave any
marks behind nor does it leave any residue behind. You
don’t have to go through any cleaning process afterwards
and it is also odorless which means there aren’t any foul
smells too.
