Find the Right Agent for You

FK-5-1-12

FK-5-1-12 is a clean agent designed to deliver rapid, reliable fire suppression in high-value and sensitive environments. Stored as a liquid and discharged as a gas, it leaves no residue after use and is electrically non-conductive.

FK-5-1-12 is a fluorinated ketone and has a neutral environmental footprint, featuring zero ozone depletion potential (ODP).

Common uses: CNC machines, small electrical enclosures

FM-200™

FM-200, chemically known as HFC-227ea (heptafluoropropane), is a halocarbon-based clean agent stored as a liquefied compressed gas. Upon discharge, FM-200 vaporizes rapidly and suppresses fires through heat absorption and chemical interference with the combustion process, effectively interrupting the fire's chemical reaction. 

It’s electrically non-conductive and residue-free.  

Common uses: CNC machines, electrical enclosures, and test chambers 

Carbon Dioxide

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is an inert gas that is stored under pressure in liquid form. CO₂ suppresses fires by removing oxygen, quickly putting out flames without leaving residue.  

Its non-conductive and clean characteristics make it suitable for protecting sensitive equipment. CO2 is readily available, making recharges more affordable compared to other options. 

Common uses: CNC machines, EDM, collectors and ovens 

ABC Dry Chemical Powder

ABC dry chemical is composed primarily of monoammonium phosphate; it interrupts the fire’s chain reaction and coats surfaces to prevent re-ignition. It is a multipurpose agent effective against Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires.  

While highly effective, it is a residue-producing agent and may not be suitable for sensitive environments. 

Common uses: Buses, gantry cranes, other engines, and fume hoods 

Purple K Powder

Purple K is a potassium bicarbonate-based dry chemical agent. It works by chemically inhibiting the fire reaction, offering rapid knockdown in high-risk environments. 

Purple K offers superior performance on Class B flammable liquid fires compared to multipurpose powder options. It is non-conductive and compatible with most industrial-grade equipment. 

Common uses: Ground support equipment (deicers, aircraft tugs, etc.)

Amerex Super D Dry Powder

Amerex Super D Dry Powder is primarily composed of sodium chloride blended with specialized additives formulated to tackle combustible metal fires. Upon application, this agent quickly forms a heat-dissipating crust, effectively isolating and suppressing the fire safely and efficiently. 

It is specifically designed for Class D hazards involving metals such as magnesium, titanium, and zirconium that can burn up to 7000°F. 

Common uses: CNC machines and collector hoppers

Black Widow Powder

Black Widow is a dry chemical powder that is primarily composed of potassium carbamoyl carbamate among other ingredients. It interrupts the fire’s chain reaction and coats surfaces to prevent re-ignition 

Black Widow is an expensive agent that offers extremely high performance against Class B (flammable liquid) hazards. 

Common uses: Military aircraft and vehicles

Aerosol

Aerosol is an agent with potassium carbonate as the active ingredient, often carried by various inert gases. Released in a cloud of fine particulate matter (microns wide) the particles interrupt the chemical reaction of combustion.  

Aerosol systems are an inexpensive and low maintenance option and have shown promising results in laboratory tests preventing thermal runaway. 

Common uses: ESS, electrical control rooms, marine engine rooms
