Clean agent extinguishers act to extinguish a fire by smothering it without damaging delicate electronic equipment external to the fire or leaving a residue. The Clean Agent does not conduct electricity back to the user making them also effective on electrical fires.
Clean agent fire suppression systems are safe to use in occupied spaces, require no clean up after discharge, and are environmentally friendly with a short to no atmospheric lifetime and a low Global Warming Potential (GWP). Systems are designed around providing total flood protection for small enclosed areas or entire rooms containing sensitive documents or equipment.
These clean agent portable fire extinguishers are safe for people, safe for assets, and are safe for use on Class A, B, and C fires. There are three basic types of agents in Clean Agent fire extinguishers; hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC).
