Protect your data center, server room, and sensitive equipment with FM-200 clean agent fire suppression. Extinguishes fires in 10 seconds with zero water damage. Professional installation by NJ-licensed technicians.
FM-200 (chemical name HFC-227ea or heptafluoropropane) is a clean agent fire suppression system that protects sensitive equipment without the destructive effects of water or dry chemical agents. Originally developed as a replacement for Halon 1301, FM-200 has become the most widely used clean agent worldwide with over 100,000 installations in more than 70 countries.
FM-200 works by absorbing heat energy from a fire faster than the fire can generate it, while also interrupting the chemical chain reaction of combustion. When discharged, FM-200 reaches extinguishing concentrations in 10 seconds or less—making it one of the fastest fire suppression agents available.
FM-200 provides unmatched protection for environments where water-based systems would cause more damage than the fire itself.
FM-200 is the preferred choice for protecting high-value assets where water damage would be catastrophic. Common applications include:
Our NFPA 2001-compliant installation process ensures your FM-200 system provides reliable protection from day one.
We evaluate your facility, identify protected areas, calculate room volumes, and assess existing fire detection systems.
Our engineers design the system including cylinder sizing, piping layout, nozzle placement, and detection integration per NFPA 2001.
Licensed technicians install cylinders, distribution piping, discharge nozzles, control panels, and manual release stations.
We perform room integrity (door fan) tests, verify agent concentration, test detection systems, and conduct full system acceptance testing.
You receive all required documentation, certifications, and training for your staff on system operation and safety procedures.
Both FM-200 and Novec 1230 are excellent clean agent options. Here's how they compare:
| Feature | FM-200 | Novec 1230 |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical Name | HFC-227ea | FK-5-1-12 |
| Global Warming Potential | 3,220 | 1 (equal to CO2) |
| Atmospheric Lifetime | 33-36 years | 5 days |
| Storage | Gas (compact, less space) | Liquid (requires more space) |
| Relative Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Future Availability | Phase-down (still available) | 3M discontinued production |
For most NJ/PA facilities, FM-200 remains an excellent choice due to its proven track record, lower cost, and continued availability. We also offer alternative clean agents including inert gas systems. Contact us for a free assessment to determine the best solution for your specific needs.
The American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act, passed in 2020, requires a gradual phase-down (not phase-out) of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) production, including FM-200. Here's what this means for your facility:
Security Dynamics helps NJ/PA businesses navigate these changes with honest assessments and future-proof recommendations. Contact us for a consultation to discuss the best options for your facility.
If you have a legacy halon fire suppression system, FM-200 is the ideal replacement. Many halon system components—including piping, nozzles, and detection equipment—can be reused, making conversion more cost-effective than a complete new installation.
