HFC 227ea, known by the trade name FM200, is a colorless, non-flammable, environmentally friendly, electrically insulating fire extinguishing gas that is harmless to humans. This gas extinguishes the fire by entering the environment and combining with the oxygen in the fuel chain. After the extinguishing process is completed, no residue remains, which will reduce the potential damage caused by the fire extinguishing operation.
The main method of action of this gas in extinguishing a fire is through thermal decomposition of the structure, which leads to the absorption of heat and a decrease in temperature, one of the main factors of fire spread. In other words, this gas removes the main factor, which is heat and flame, by absorbing the heat of the environment and carrying out chemical reactions.
HFC 227ea is a mixture of carbon, fluorine and hydrogen (CF3CHFCF3). This gas is also known as HFC 227ea, FM200 or Heptafluoropropane. HFC 227ea is a fast-acting fire extinguishing agent used in fire extinguishers and has a wide range of benefits and applications. It is non-corrosive and has no environmental restrictions.
HFC 227ea gas has the characteristics of a non-conductive and highly volatile gaseous fire extinguishing agent that does not leave any residue when used. As a clean fire extinguishing agent, this heptafluoropropane gas is harmless to the environment and does not remain in nature for a long time. It also has high fire extinguishing efficiency and must be designed in such a way that it is not harmful to humans at certain concentrations. This gas is non-toxic and is particularly suitable for protected areas and places with permanent personnel. According to tests conducted by the National Testing Center in December 1996, this gas and carbon dioxide were introduced as alternatives to the main alkyl halide products.

For exposure to this gas at different concentrations, a specific time limit is defined, for example, according to the NFPA-2001 standard, the permissible exposure time for this gas for concentrations below 10.5% is 5 minutes and for a concentration of 12% is 49 seconds. It should be noted that one of the features of the reliable and reliable FM200 (HFC-227ea) fire extinguishing gas is that it is UL Listed and FM Approved, which guarantees the safe and risk-free operation of this gas. Accordingly, the FM200 system is used for use in closed spaces where there is an operator.
The main mechanism and mode of operation of this gas for fire suppression is through structural decomposition caused by heat and as a result, heat absorption, which is one of the factors of fire spread. In other words, this gas, by absorbing the heat of the fire environment and chemical decomposition, will eliminate the primary factor of fire, namely heat and flame.
Imen Datis Asia Company, relying on up-to-date knowledge, continuous activity and cooperation with highly specialized forces, is now recognized as one of the leading private sector companies in the field of safety and firefighting industry.
