FIREPRO® and OTHER AEROSOLS
▪ FirePro is approved to AS4487-2013 the current standard for Land Based Systems. AS5062-2016 which is the standard for Mobile Plant. AMSA Approved for Marine Applications.
▪ Safety Integrity Level Certified.
▪ FirePro does not use pyrotechnic solid aerosol compound (Class 4.1 flam. solid). FirePro can be air-freighted at a cheaper cost and the process has less restrictions.  
▪ FirePro cooling material is natural – alumina based (others use materials which produce harmful toxic chemicals, e. g., NOx, NH3, HCN).
▪ FirePro in certified to High Voltage environments up to 75,000v, other aerosols have LOWER limits.
▪ FirePro in passed Explosive Environment tests with UL. Others are restricted from this application.
▪ FirePro can be used in A Class Fires. Others are restricted from this application.
▪ FirePro uses robust activator, non pyrotechnic. Competitor pyrotechnic material: instability temperature rise, decay of with time, reduced life time.
▪ FirePro is environmentally friendly.
▪ Safe for humans, H & S issues, non toxic according to international institutions.
▪ FirePro has a certified life of 15 years – for Product manufactured after 2016 – replacement date is identified on the Product Label.
▪ FirePro has self activation temperature of 300°C, competition – 230°C.
FIREPRO® v OTHER GASES
INERT GASES (e.g., Inergen, Argonite, etc)

HALOCARBONS (e.g. FM200, HFC227ea)
Extinguish by reducing the oxygen level in a room to below 15% (the point at which most combustibles will no longer burn) • Hazard due to depleted oxygen • Area to be protected needs to be pressure relieved or can cause damage.

1 Unit FirePro = 40 Units
 FM-200 works by physically cooling the fire at the molecular level • Extinguish fire by heat absorption and some chemical reaction effect • Stored in hi-pressure cylinders as a liquid, and discharged as a gas • At high temperature gives off HF, CO – highly toxic.

1 Unit FirePro = 6 – 7.5 Units
FLUORINATED KETONES (e. g., Novec 1230) CO2
Novec 1230 interferes with the combustion process, stopping a fire in its pre-combustion stage, it disrupts a fire by absorbing the heat • Thermal decomposition produces HF & COF2 – toxic.
Dec 2022 — 3M™, announced production would stop by the end 2025.(Anouncement)

1 Unit FirePro = 6 – 9 Units
 CO2 extinguishes fire by reducing the concentration of oxygen in the air to the point where combustion stops • CO2 is 1.5 times heavier than air and will settle in the lower areas – this can be life threatening due to the oxygen displacement • Highly pressurised – Not Suitable for A Class Fires • Toxic to humans.

1 Unit FirePro = 15.5 Units
COMPARISON OF INSTALLATION OF GAS v FIREPRO
• Installation of Gaseous Systems require Licensed Personnel, this is Federal Legislation – costly and time consuming reporting 
▪ FirePro is a system that has separate components acting together – failure of a component will not cause failure of the system.
  Compared to pressurised systems where any component failure will normally result in complete failure of the system.
▪ FirePro is electrically monitored – installers and operators will always be aware of any system faults.
  Compared to pressurised systems where any piping or valves may be faulty and the operator unaware – system NOT operational.
▪ Normally require Fan test to determine pressure capacity of risk.
▪ Activation pressure of Gases normally requires structural preparation of risk to cope with the pressure.
▪ Longer installation times and higher installation costs. Valves, piping, robust supports, brackets.
▪ Higher maintenance requirements and Costs. More tasks required for routine servicing. Re-filling requires removal of tanks and specialised filling equipment.
▪ More space required, and significant weight differences.
▪ Restrictions in certain applications due to nature of product and impractical installation.
COMPARISON OF INSTALLATION OF FIREPRO v FOAM Systems on Mobile Plant
▪ Chemical issues related to Foam and new regulations related to Fluorine Free Foam concentrates. FirePro is PFAS FREE.
▪ More space required, and significant weight differences. No Cylinder required to be mounted on Machine.
▪ Longer installation times and higher installation costs – piping, brackets, nozzles.
▪ Higher maintenance. Agent replaced regularly. Pressure test on Cylinders. Valves, piping, robust brackets and other supports, Nozzles.
