FM-200 is the clear choice for fast, clean fire protection. Patented in 1993 by the Great Lakes Chemical Corporation as a Halon 1301 replacement, it has quickly gained acceptance as the world's leading clean agent gaseous fire suppression agent.

FM-200 clean agent systems are:

• Effective:  FM-200 extinguishes fires primarily by physically cooling the flame; removing heat from the flame to the extent that the combustion reaction cannot sustain itself.
• Versatile:  FM-200 is well suited for a wide range of applications:
  • Telecommunications Facilities
  • Computer Rooms
  • Electronics and Data Processing Equipment
  • Record Storage Facilities
  • Art Galleries and Museums
  • Electrical Control Rooms
• Safe for Equipment:  FM-200 is safe for sensitive equipment.  FM-200 is colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive and leaves no residue.  Unlike conventional sprinkler systems or dry chemical fire extinguishers, there is no messy clean-up.  With an FM-200 system in place, your facility can be back in operation after a few hours, not days or weeks as with water or dry chemicals.
• Safe for People:  FM-200 is non-toxic and safe for people at normal firefighting concentrations.  FM-200 is so safe that it has been designated as a replacement for CFC propellants in pharmaceutical metered dose inhalers, like the ones used to dispense asthma medications.
• Safe for the Planet:  FM-200 does not deplete stratospheric ozone and has a short atmospheric lifetime of 31-42 years.  The United States Environmental Protection Agency states (in Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 90. 5/12/1993) that "HFC-227ea (ASHRAE designation for FM-200) does not deplete stratospheric ozone.  In addition HFC-227ea (FM-200) is the most effective of the proposed HFC substitutes for Halon 1301." 
• Fast Acting:  FM-200 systems discharge in 10 seconds or less and have been shown in UL tests to extinguish large fires in less than one minute.
