Clean agent FS 49 C2

The difference from inert gases and FS 49 C2 is that it takes less gas to suppress a fire, and therefore gas storage takes less space, depending on the storage pressure.

Its main component is the most widely used replacement gas for refrigeration systems, characterized by zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) factor.

Filling a room 12% by FS 49 C2 is sufficient to suppress a flame-based fire.

Even though FS 49 C2 gas does not leave toxic gases behind, a self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended when in a fire site because in the process of extinguishing the fire, FS 49 C2 may release potentially harmful gases.

After 2010 UNEP recommended that those countries replace Halon with ozone friendly alternatives.
