Fire Suppression Systems Safety, FM-200 and Novec-1230 (USA)
Fire Suppression Systems the hidden Truth and facts you may not have known about the NFPA -by Bill Costello (17 October 2008)
I would like to educate everyone on the truth about FM-200 and Novec 1230 fire suppression systems and their byproducts when they come in contact with a flame or electrical arc, that are protecting your critical facilities.
FM0-200 HFC-227ea Byproduct is Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) which is a chemical warfare agent and is highly corrosive and damages electronic components. Both of these suppression systems create a very toxic byproduct HF and in the case of Novec 1230 you better hope that your sprinkler system does not go off and carry the TFA in the water system and get into the drain because you will have a potential environmental disaster on your hands.
