With all the benefits of Halon and none of its environmental disadvantages, Tyco i3™ Inert Gas Fire Protection is the answer where there’s a need for a clean fire suppression agent that’s non-Toxic, non corrosive, odourless, leaves no residue and has a smaller footprint than lower pressure inert gas systems.
Environmentally, i3™ brings nothing new and thus potentially damaging – to the atmosphere. It comprises a pure 50:50 mixture of two gases wich occur naturally, Argon and Nitrogen. What’s more, because the blended components have a density similar to air, the mixture is able to retain its concentration in the risk area for far longer than Halon.
Tyco i3™ meets important environmental criteria, with no global warming or ozone depleting potential. Because it is inert, it forms no breakdown products minimising the risk of consequential damage.
It is, in short, an acceptable alternative to HFC’s, being safe to use in occupied spaces and with the benefit of having been recognised by regulatory bodies around the world.
