Argonite Fire Suppression

Argonite

Argonite is an inert gas that extinguishes fire based on the principle of oxygen depletion. It is an environmentally acceptable clean agent that offers Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Zero Global Warming Potential (GWP). It is safe for use in a wide range of sensitive applications where people are present and is electronically non-conductive. It produces no post fire residue: thus, there is no damage to protected equipment and nothing to clean up.

Argonite extinguishes fire by physically removing oxygen from the atmosphere. In occupied areas, people can breathe argonite at extinguishing concentrations without fear. There are no toxicological factors associated with the use of argonite and argonite will not decompose or produce any by-products when exposed to a flame from a fire condition.
