Kidde FM-200 Fire Extinguishing Agent
Halon fire extinguishants have an impending production phase-out hanging over them. Due to this, Kidde Fire Protection have developed the GX20 system using the FM-200 (Heptafluoropropane) as a replacement for Halon 1301, ideal for applications that require an environmentally acceptable fire extinguishing agent, suitable for use in manned areas.
Performance
Find out more on our sister site Cadmus Products.
Physical means are how the FM-200 extinguishes fires primarily.
FM-200 has properties which
function well with traditional Halon
1301 equipment. FM-200 exhibits a
boiling point of -16.4°C as compared
to a boiling point of -57.8°C for Halon
1301 and is a colourless gas
at standard conditions.
The Kidde FM-200 will mix well in a
protected enclosure to provide a
homogeneous mixture in air, through the use of properly designed
equipment. FM-200 is super-pressurised to achieve
rapid discharge into the protected
environment, seeing as Halon 1301 is typically superpressurised
to either 25 bar or 42 bar
for fire suppression applications,
The liquid density of Halon 1301 at
21°C is 1.32 kg/L and for FM-200 is
1.12 kg/L. The characteristic that
determines the amount of agent that
can be safely stored in a given cylinder
is the maximum fill density.
Kidde Fire Protection advises that the
maximum fill density for a cylinder of
FM-200 pressurised with nitrogen to
360 psi is 1.15 g cm-3. Accordingly, the
storage capacity for FM-200 is around
1.5 times that of Halon 1301, the
closest of all viable replacement
agents.

Toxicity
The potential of the
agent to cause cardiac sensitisation should be examined, when determining a safe exposure level
to any agent intended for use in
occupied spaces.
The test protocols set up by the US
Environmental Protection Agency have been met and the FM-200
has been cleared for use in occupied
areas at the normal design
concentration.
Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
It is clearly understood that any agent that is expected to be
available for use in the market on a
long term basis would have to offer
zero ODP, due to the concerns over stratospheric
ozone protection which have developed in
recent years.
The FM-200 has an ozone
depletion potential of zero, as it contains no
chlorine or bromine and does not
possess the properties associated with
the compounds thought to damage
stratospheric ozone.

Compatibility
In the absence of excessive moisture, the FM-200 is
not expected to react with common
construction materials such as metals
and polymers. The Kidde FM-200 is a very stable compound and
tests show that
elastomers such as some EPDM
materials and nitrile compounds
perform well with FM-200.
