Product Description
The UL-certified FK-5-1-12 fire extinguishing agent is a clear, colorless, odorless, and electrically non-conductive liquid that is clean and environmentally friendly. It does not corrode common metals-such as carbon steel, copper, aluminum, and stainless steel-nor does it damage electronic components and circuits or cause secondary damage.
Chemical symbol: FK-5-1-12
Chemical name: Perfluoro-2-methyl-3-pentanone
Main Advantages of FK-5-1-12
Safe for people
The toxicity of FK-5-1-12 is very low, and its extinguishing concentration is well below its NOAEL, making it highly safe. The fire-extinguishing agent has been registered by the US EPA (TSCA).
The extinguishing concentration of FK-5-1-12, Halon, and certain fluoroalkane Halon substitutes.
| FK-5-1-12 | Halon 1301 | HFC-227ea | HFC-236fa | |
| Use concentrations (%) | 4.5-5.9 | 5 | 7.5-8.9 | 15 |
| NOAEL(%) | 10 | 5 | 9 | 10 |
Note on NOAEL (No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level): The table shows that for FK-5-1-12, the NOAEL is approximately double the extinguishing concentration, indicating a substantial safety margin. In contrast, the extinguishing concentration for HFC-227ea is slightly above its NOAEL, resulting in a narrow safety margin. For Halon 1301, the NOAEL and extinguishing concentration are very close, leaving no safety margin; for HFC-236fa, the NOAEL is lower than the extinguishing concentration, posing a danger to people.
Therefore, while FK-5-1-12 is highly effective at extinguishing fires, it is also the most suitable choice for occupied spaces.
No residue after use
FK5112 is a fully volatile clean fire extinguishing agent that evaporates completely after discharge without leaving any solid residue, liquid film, particulate deposition, or corrosive residuals on protected surfaces. Unlike water, foam, or dry chemical agents that cause secondary contamination and equipment fouling, FK5112 leaves zero trace on circuit boards, server hardware, battery modules, precision optical instruments, and archival materials. This residue-free performance eliminates post-fire cleaning work, prevents component degradation, and allows rapid facility recovery with minimal operational downtime for data centers, BESS stations, and high-precision industrial workshops.
Good electrical insulation
FK5112 features consistent high dielectric strength in both liquid and gaseous states, delivering reliable electrical insulation during fire suppression. The non-conductive properties enable safe fire intervention on live, energized electrical equipment without pre-power cutoff. It effectively avoids short-circuit risks, electric arcing, and secondary electrical damage to high-voltage distribution systems, AI server clusters, energy storage cabinets, and powered precision devices. This inherent insulation capability makes FK5112 the preferred clean agent for continuous-operation critical facilities where power shutdown is not permissible.
