Clean Agent
Suppression
Systems
Fluoro-K™ and FM-200™ gaseous suppression. Fire protection without the residue or damage. Designed to NFPA 2001 by FML.
Suppression Without the Secondary Damage
Clean agent systems are designed to protect server rooms, data centres, archives, and critical facilities where conventional suppression would damage the equipment and assets it is meant to save.
Fluoro-K™ and FM-200™ discharge as a gas, penetrate the protected space in seconds, and leave no residue. The equipment running before the discharge keeps running after it. No cleanup, no downtime, no secondary loss.
Fluoro-K™ and FM-200™: What Is the Difference?
Fluoro-K™
FK-5-1-12A fluoroketone suppressant with zero ozone depletion potential and negligible global warming potential. The environmentally preferred option for organizations with sustainability commitments or regulatory reporting obligations.
- Mechanism Heat absorption and chemical interference
- ODP Zero ozone depletion potential
- GWP 1 — negligible global warming potential
- Atmospheric life 5 days — does not persist in the atmosphere
- Occupied space safe Yes — at design concentrations
- Best suited for New installations, sustainability-focused organizations, facilities with environmental reporting obligations
FM-200™
HFC-227eaThe industry standard for decades and still the most widely specified clean agent globally. The natural choice for Halon replacement or facilities where FM-200 is the established specification.
- Mechanism Heat absorption and chemical chain interruption
- ODP Zero ozone depletion potential
- GWP 3,220 — higher than Fluoro-K
- Atmospheric life 36.5 years
- Occupied space safe Yes — at design concentrations
- Best suited for Halon replacement, established data centre and telecoms infrastructure, facilities where FM-200 is the specified standard
Both agents perform equivalently in suppression effectiveness. The choice between them depends on your facility’s environmental commitments, existing infrastructure, and long-term regulatory context. FML will recommend the right agent after reviewing your facility and requirements. Speak to our team.
