Fluoroketone (FK) Based (Clean Agent) Fire Extinguishers
In the realm of fire safety, the choice of extinguishing agents is critical for effectively combating fires while minimising collateral damage. Ceasefire’s Fluoroketone (FK) based Fire Extinguishers are upping the game in the Clean Agent extinguishing category by not only being residue free and safe to be used on sensitive equipment but also safe on humans even when used in confined areas.
Clean agent FK based fire extinguishers today offer unmatched advantages in both performance and environmental sustainability. The range includes 2 Kg, 4 Kg, 6 Kg, and 9 Kg size variants in Mild Steel containers.
- Safe for People
Ceasefire's FK-based extinguishers are safe for use in enclosed environments with people present. They effectively suppress fires without compromising oxygen levels, allowing for safer evacuation and ensuring the safety of individuals during firefighting operations. This makes FK extinguishers particularly favourable when compared to Powder, CO2, or other chemical-based agents where human safety is a top priority.- Non-Conductive and Safe for Sensitive Equipment
FK extinguishers are non-conductive and leave no residue, making them safe to use on live electrical equipment without causing damage. This feature is especially important in data centres, server rooms, and other environments housing sensitive electronics.- Environmental Friendliness
One of the key advantages of Fluoroketone extinguishers is their minimal environmental impact. With a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 1 and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), they offer a highly sustainable alternative to traditional halon-based agents. This makes them an excellent choice for companies focused on reducing their environmental footprint and meeting sustainability targets.- Free from F-Gas Regulations
Ceasefire’s FK-based extinguishers are outside the purview of F-Gas regulations, which promote the use of low-GWP gases in fire suppression. FK being outside the purview of F-gas regulation gives freedom of operation to businesses and offers a long term trade solution.- Low-Pressure Technology
FK extinguishers being powered by low-pressure (10 bar) technology are absolutely safe to be deployed in spaces which have high human presence. This not only improves user safety but also optimises performance in critical situations, where controlled release of the extinguishant is crucial.- Minimal Cleanup and Downtime
Fluoroketone extinguishers require minimal cleanup, as they leave no residue. This results in shorter downtimes for businesses and less disruption to operations compared to other extinguishing agents, which often leave behind residue that requires more extensive cleanup.- Prevention of Freeze Burns
Ceasefire’s FK-based extinguishers are specifically designed to minimise the risk of freeze burns, a concern often associated with CO2 fire extinguishers, which can cause localised freezing when discharged.- Compact Design and Ease of Handling
Ceasefire's FK-based extinguishers typically come in compact, lightweight designs, making them easy to handle and manoeuvre in emergency situations. Their ergonomic build ensures quick deployment by trained personnel, enhancing fire response efficiency. This is a huge advantage as compared to other types of extinguishers such as CO2 extinguishers, which tend to be bulkier and heavier, making them more challenging to operate in urgent scenarios.GLOSSARY FIRE EXT 2KG MS SP RED FIRE EXT 4KG MS SP RED FIRE EXT 6KG MS SP RED FIRE EXT 9KG MS SP RED AGENT FLUOROKETONE (FK-5-1-12) FLUOROKETONE (FK-5-1-12) FLUOROKETONE (FK-5-1-12) FLUOROKETONE (FK-5-1-12) THROW (MINUMUM) 3 METERS 4 METERS 4 METERS 4 METERS PRODUCT CODE CF-001333 CF-001334 CF-001335 CF-001336 CERTIFICATION BS EN3 - LPCB BS EN3 - KITEMARK EU-MED UKCA-MER PED UKCA-PED BS EN3 - LPCB BS EN3 - KITEMARK EU-MED UKCA-MER PED UKCA-PED BS EN3 - LPCB BS EN3 - KITEMARK EU-MED UKCA-MER PED UKCA-PED BS EN3 - LPCB BS EN3 - KITEMARK EU-MED UKCA-MER PED UKCA-PED LPCB YES YES YES YES EU-MED YES YES YES YES UKCA-MER YES YES YES YES PED YES YES YES YES UKCA-PED YES YES YES YES GROSS WEIGHT (APPROX.) 3.75 KG 6.90 KG 9.50 KG 14.70 KG NET MASS (APPROX.) 2KG 4KG 6KG 9KG HEIGHT OF FIRE EXT.(APPROX.)
