Product Advantage
- FK-5-1-12 has an excellent environmental profile and the low toxicity. FK-5-1-12 can be long-term replacement halon fire extinguishing agent.
- 2. FK-5-1-12 is a highly efficient fire extinguishant
- 3. The extinguishing concentration of FK-5-1-12 is much lower than its NOAEL
- 4. FK-5-1-12 has noncorrosive harm , good insulation, no damage to sophisticated electronics
- 5. FK-5-1-12 is a liquid at room temperature, so the storage and transportation are convenient.
Environmental Sustainability
FK-5-1-12 has an excellent environmental profile. It doesn't have damage to the ozone layer, and the ODP is 0,the GWP is 1, the ALT is o,o14 year. Although the ODP of fluoroalkane halon substitute products is 0, its GWP is larger, which have a negative effect to the global warming and climate change. FK 5112 can solve the two problems very well, that is the GWP and the ODP very small, which is better than that of the halon fire extinguishing agent and other types of fluoroalkane halon alternatives (HFC-227ea,HFC-236fa) at this point.

Safe for people
The toxicity of FK-5-1-12 is very low, and the extinguishing concentration of FK-5-1-12 is much lower than its NOAEL,so the FK-5-1-12 has a high safety. The fire extinguishing agent has been registered by the USE.P.A.T.S.C.A.
The extinguishing concentration of FK-5-1-12 and Halon and part of fluoroalkane halon substitute
| FK-5-1-12 | Halon 1301 | HFC-227ea | HFC-236fa | |
| Extinguishing Concentration (%) | 4 | 5 | 7 | 15 |
| NOAEL(%) | 10 | 5 | 9 | 10 |
Can be seen from the table in the NOAEL FK-5-1-12 approximately twice the extinguishing concentration, the safety margin is bigger; And slightly above its NOAEL of HFC - 227 ea fire extinguishing concentration, the safety margin is small; Halon 1301 NOAEL and extinguishing concentration is very close, no safety margin; HFC - 236 - fa NOAEL is less than its extinguishing concentration, there is a danger to people. Therefore, FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent in extinguishing efficiency at the same time, more suitable for the place of someone.
Non Damaging Fire Protection
FK-5-1-12 has no damage to electronics, electronic media or delicate mechanical equipment.It's an alternative to water sprinkler systems, dry chemicals and foam that protects your high-value assets.
Experiments show that FK-5-1-12 with other materials, such as rubber, metal, has good compatibility, and little impact on a variety of materials used. Though FK-5-1-12 with metal contact 10 days under 48 ºC, we did not find fade or damage phenomenon.
Application field
FK-5-1-12 fire extinguishing agent can be used in the whole area or local area fire extinguishing system and portable fire extinguisher,and FK-5-1-12 has a wide range of applications, so it suitable for fire extinguishing work but relatively closed places.
FK-5-1-12 can be used as a protection gas during melting of magnesium alloy or other light metal alloy to replace SF6.FK-5-1-12 can be widely used in the following areas:
DP center Electronic control center Precision instrument Archive Library Museum
Naval ships Ocean-going vessel Commercial aviation Subway station Mall Assembly Occupancies
