FK5112, also known as Novec 5112, is a halocarbon-based fire suppression agent developed as an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional halon and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) extinguishants. Novec 5112 is a fluoroketone with excellent fire extinguishing properties, suitable for use in both total flooding and local application systems. Its chemical structure enables it to rapidly absorb heat, effectively lowering the temperature and suppressing the fire without depleting oxygen levels, making it safe for occupied spaces. One of the key advantages of FK5112 is its low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), making it a preferable choice for environmentally conscious fire protection solutions. It leaves no residue, ensuring that sensitive equipment and electronics are not damaged post-application, which is crucial in data centers, telecommunication facilities, and laboratories. The agent is electrically non-conductive, allowing for use in environments where electrical fires are a risk. Novec 5112 is also non-corrosive and non-toxic at use concentrations, ensuring the safety of personnel and the integrity of protected assets. Overall, FK5112 is an advanced fire suppression solution that combines effective fire control with environmental responsibility, making it an ideal choice for modern fire protection systems.
