FM200 is effective on which classes of fires?

FM200 is a clean agent fire suppression system that is particularly effective on classes of fires that involve flammable liquids and gases, as well as those that could involve electrical equipment. Specifically, it is suitable for Class A (ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and textiles), Class B (flammable liquids such as oil, gasoline, or solvents), and Class C (electrical fires).

The effectiveness of FM200 on these classes is due to its ability to rapidly extinguish flames by removing heat and interrupting the combustion process without leaving a residue, which is critical for protecting valuable equipment and preventing secondary damage.

In contrast, FM200 is not effective on Class D fires, which involve combustible metals, nor is it specifically designed for Class K fires, which involve cooking oils and fats. Therefore, the expansive coverage of FM200 across the first three classes is what makes it versatile and widely used in various applications.
