FM-200, also known as HFC-227ea, is a clean agent fire suppressant for Class A, B, and C fires that work by removing the heat from the fire triangle (oxygen, heat, and fuel). FM-200 systems are internationally accepted as providing reliable, effective, affordable fire protection solutions. FM-200 provides water-less fire suppression without leaving behind residue or particulate and has been installed in over one hundred thousand applications in more than 70 nations, the most widely used Halon 1301 replacement

What is FM200 Fire Suppression?
FM200 fire suppression is also known as HFC227ea. FM 200 is a fire suppressant with a clean agent that works by removing the heat from the fire triangle (oxygen, heat, and fuel). It is a colorless, compressed liquefied gas used to extinguish fires. FM 200 fire suppression systems are pressurized with nitrogen, waterless, and when activated, it discharge as a gas to suppress the fire. FM-200 fire suppressant (HFC-227ea) can be safely used where people are present.
It is safe for occupied spaces when used at standard design concentrations. FM-200 does not leave any residue. Most common metals, such as aluminium, brass, steel, cast iron, lead, stainless steel, and copper, as well as rubber, plastic, and electronic components, are unaffected when exposed to FM-200(HFC-227ea).
CLEAN AGENT – FM200 Fire Suppression System
FM-200 is an odorless, colorless, liquefied compressed gas. It is stored as a liquid and dispensed into the hazard as a colorless, electrically non-conductive vapor that is clear and does not obscure vision. It leaves no residue.
How does FM200 work?
FM200 is a synthetic/chemical fire suppression gas that extinguishes a fire by removing the free radicals or one of the heat elements from the fire triangle. The fire triangle is made up of heat, oxygen, and a fuel source.
It removes the heat or free radicals, which interferes with the fire triangle’s chemical reaction to extinguish the fire.
What is the chemical name for FM-200 gas?
1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane is the chemical name for FM-200TM. It’s also known as hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) 227ea. FM-200TM is a colorless compressed liquefied gas that is used to put out fires and is a preferred alternative to Halon fire suppression systems.
Is FM-200 gas harmful?
FM-200 is minimal in toxicity and has no immediate or long-term dangers when handled according to the manufacturer’s instructions. FM-200 vapours have little to no effect on the skin or eyes, but when it comes into contact with the skin or eyes in liquid form, it can induce frostbite. Excessive inhalation of FM-200 vapours above the recommended exposure limits might result in headaches, dizziness, loss of coordination, disorientation, and, in the worst-case scenario, coma. FM-200TM is safe to use in fully populated spaces when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Advantages of Fm200 Fire suppression system
The major benefit of FM200 fire suppression is that it only requires a minimal amount of agent to put out a fire. This means fewer cylinders, therefore less wasted space for storage of FM200 cylinders.
FM200 systems reach extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less, stopping ordinary combustible, electrical, and flammable liquid fires before they cause significant damage. FM200 swiftly extinguishes the fire, resulting in less damage and cheaper restoration expenses. Like any other fire suppression system, FM200 systems are designed with an extra margin of safety for people. Refilling FM200 is simple and cost effective, resulting in minimal downtime and disruption to your business.
Applications of FM200 Fire Suppression System
FM200 Fire Suppression is a suitable agent for normally occupied spaces. HFC-227ea fire suppression is also a widely accepted replacement for Halon 1301. FM200 fire suppression systems are commonly used in:
- Computer rooms
- Telecommunication facilities
- UPS Rooms
- Medical facilities
- Manufacturing & Machining
- Wind Turbines
- Transportation & Logistics
- Electrical Panels
- Vehicles
- Data Centres
- Military Protection

FM-200, also known as HFC-227ea, is a clean agent fire suppression system that uses heptafluoropropane as the extinguishing agent. FM-200 is a fire suppression agent that belongs to the class of clean agents, designed to extinguish fires quickly without leaving residue or causing damage to sensitive equipment.
FM-200 (HFC-227ea) works by disrupting the combustion process. When discharged into a fire-affected area, it removes heat from the fire and breaks the chemical chain reaction, leading to rapid-fire suppression.
Some advantages of FM-200 (HFC-227ea) include its fast extinguishing capabilities, non-conductive properties (safe for use around electrical equipment), low toxicity, environmental friendliness (low ozone depletion potential), and no residue left after discharge.
FM-200 (HFC-227ea) is commonly used in areas such as data centers, server rooms, control rooms, telecommunications facilities, museums, and other critical infrastructure where water-based fire suppression systems are not suitable and where preserving equipment and valuable assets is crucial.
FM-200 (HFC-227ea) extinguishes fires primarily by absorbing heat and disrupting the chemical reaction necessary for combustion. It reduces the temperature of the fire and prevents it from spreading further.
The discharge time of FM-200 (HFC-227ea) depends on factors such as the size of the protected area, the concentration of FM-200 used, and the design of the fire suppression system. Generally, FM-200 systems are designed for rapid discharge to achieve effective fire suppression.
