Using water alone as a fire suppressant in areas where electronics operate and high-value assets are stored could be as devastating as fire itself. Protect these assets with an ANSUL® SAPPHIRE clean-agent system, custom-engineered to quickly suppress fires without causing harm to equipment, people or the environment.

Choose a Revolutionary Fire Suppression Agent

The SAPPHIRE system utilizes FK-5-1-12 agent — a clear, colorless and low odor clean agent that instantly vaporizes upon discharge, absorbing heat and providing total flooding of protected spaces. The system is especially suited for suppressing fires in occupied spaces, in areas where an electrically non-conductive medium is required, where electronic systems cannot be shut down in an emergency and where cleanup of other agents poses a problem.

People and Environment Friendly

FK-5-1-12 provides a wide safety margin because it is used at concentrations of only 4.5 to 5.9% by volume which are well below the 10% concentration maximum for safe exposure. In accordance with NFPA 2001, it is safe for occupied spaces. The agent has zero ozone depletion potential, an atmospheric lifetime of just five days and a global warming potential of 1.

State-of-the-Art Detection and Control

Even before a fire reaches the flame stage, SAPPHIRE systems can detect and suppress it. This state-of-the-art detection and control system combines exclusive AUTOPULSE microprocessor control panels with highly sensitive smoke, heat and flame detectors. When fire is detected, AUTOPULSE control panels will sound alarms, close doors, shut down equipment and release the fire suppression system. The system provides automatic detection, day and night, in conjunction with manual pull stations.
