Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is a colourless, odourless, electrically non-conductive gas that is highly efficient.

The widely used and oldest extinguishing agent (adopted from more than 80 years ago) is also the first gaseous agent used for fire suppression.

CO₂ can be used for local application and total flooding systems, and is suited to a diverse range of applications and hazards. Its high rate of expansion makes it possible for rapid fire suppression, providing a heavy blanket of gas that reduces the oxygen level to a point where combustion cannot occur.

However, it is not approved for occupied spaces unless fitted with a safety interlock device to prevent the system from discharging when the enclosure is occupied.

CO₂ is best suited to protect applications such as generator sets, turbines, switch gear, flammable liquid baths, electrical enclosures and transformers.

Characteristics:

• Zero ozone depleting potential
• Zero global warming potential
• Active Fire Listing, FM and UL Approved
• Extinguishing a fire quickly and effectively
• Leaves no residue, is non-conductive and doesn’t require costly clean up
• Minimises down time of vital system operations
• Superior design performance allows for greater flexibility
