Fluoro K FK-5-1-12 Clean Agent

Fire-extinguishing effectiveness

Both Fluoro-K FK-5-1-12 and FM200 (HFC-227ea) are effective at extinguishing fires across multiple classes. However, there are differences in how they work. FM200 operates by absorbing heat, which cools the fire and disrupts the combustion process. Fluoro-K, on ​​the other hand, also interrupts the chemical chain reaction of combustion. In certain high-temperature industrial fires, Fluoro-K FK-5-1-12 may offer an advantage due to its ability to more effectively disrupt the chemical reactions that sustain the fire.

Environmental impact

FM200 has zero ozone depletion potential, similar to Fluoro-K. However, its global warming potential is much higher. FM200 has a GWP of around 3,600, whereas Fluoro-K has a GWP of less than 1. This makes Fluoro-K FK5112 a more environmentally friendly option in terms of its contribution to global warming. Furthermore, Fluoro-K's shorter atmospheric lifetime gives it an advantage regarding the reduction of long-term environmental impact.

Safety considerations

Both agents are considered safe for use in occupied areas at their design concentrations. However, FM-200 may pose a slight risk of causing thermal shock to delicate circuits during very high-temperature fires due to its heat-absorption mechanism. The clean agent Fluoro K FK-5-1-12, which works by interrupting the chemical chain reaction, is less likely to cause such thermal shock, making it potentially safer for protecting highly sensitive electronic equipment.

Cost-Effectiveness

The cost of implementing a Fluoro-K-based fire suppression system versus an FM-200-based one can vary depending on factors such as the size of the protected area, the complexity of the installation, and the local availability of the agents. In general, Fluoro-K can be more cost-effective in the long run due to its lower environmental impact, which can help avoid potential future regulatory costs associated with high-GWP substances.
