Inert Gasses

IG-01

Argon

Argon is inert gas naturally present in the atmosphere consisting of 100% Argon, therefore its green-house effect is nil and its ozone layer depletion potential is zero. It is chemically inert, non-conductive, colourless, odourless and flavourless.

Argon gas is heavier than air and can tackle high temperature fires. Applications such as sub floor protection, Automotive Engine Test Cells or class B liquid fires. Acetone, Aviation Gas, Methanol or Toluene based fires can be protected by an Argon fire extinguishing system.

IG-55

Argonite

ARGONITE is an inert gas blend of argon and nitrogen, which occur naturally in the environment. With zero ODP, zero GWP and zero atmospheric lifetime, it has excellent environmental properties.  A typical design concentration of 40% will reduce the oxygen level to 12.5% within 60 seconds. The space requirement for inert gas storage cylinders is greater than that needed for chemical agents The cylinders are mounted in rows and may be stored in any suitable location, even over 100 metres away from the protected space.

Applications such Comms Rooms, Server Rooms, Data Centre’s, Battery Storage Rooms, Modular Data Centre’s can be protected by an Argonite fire extinguishing system.

IG-100

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is inert gas naturally present in the atmosphere consisting of 100% Nitrogen, therefore its green-house effect is nil and its ozone layer depletion potential is zero. It is chemically inert, non-conductive, colourless, odourless and flavourless.

Applications such Machinery rooms, Substations, rare book storage can be protected by an Argonite fire extinguishing system.

IG-541

Inergen

INERGEN is a mixture of three inert, naturally occurring gases: 52% nitrogen, 40% argon, and 8% carbon dioxide. As INERGEN is derived from gases present in the earth’s atmosphere, it exhibits no ozone depleting potential, nor does it contribute to global warming.

Applications such UPS Rooms, HV/LV Rooms, Pharmaceutical and critical infrastructure can be protected by an Inergen fire extinguishing system.
