VATIS UPDATE Article

Developed by Benelux Fire Protection, The Netherlands, FS49C2® provides a Halon 1301 replacement system, offering the same optimum characteristics yet with minimum impact on the enviroment. FS49C2® systems are installed to protect computer rooms, engines, transformers, switchboards andother areas at risk. These systems are designed for a quick discharge that fills the room quickly and efficiently without endangering personnel.

The FS49C2® system was developed with almost identical characteristics to Halon 1301 systems which can easily be converted to FS49C2® system, using existing hardware and with minor technical adjustments as well as a slight increase in gas storage volume. The Ideal choice FS49C2® system is considered the best and most ideal choice for a new installation or upgrade/replacement of an existing Halon 1301 system to an environmentally friendly system.

FS 49 C2® is the ideal extinguishing agent of choice for a new system as it is safe, clean and when used, leaves no residue to be cleaned up, mopped up or scraped off. Any residue is usually harmless to any equipment, hence production downtime, if any, is greatly reduced. Furthermore, FS 49 C2® is quick acting, which keeps fire damage to a minimum. Contact: Benelux Fire Protection, Po Box 287, 2990 AG Barendrecht, The Netherlands.
