Section 3 — Hazard Identification

Emergency Overview: HEPTAFLUOROPROPANE is a colorless, odorless gas. Direct eye or skin contact with the liquid or cold gas can cause chilling or possibly frostbite of exposed tissues. Inhalation of high concentrations can be harmful or fatal due to oxygen deprivation and/or heart irregularities. Fire Extinguisher cylinders are pressurized. Although unlikely, a cylinder could be propelled and cause bodily injury and/or property damage if the valve is broken due to improper handling or storage.

Section 4 — First Aid Measures

Skin contact: Flush with water, treat for frostbite if necessary by gently warming affected areas. Consult a physician.

Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult an ophthalmologist.

Inhalation: Remove victim(s) to fresh air, as quickly as possible. If not breathing, qualified personnel should administer artificial respiration. Get medical attention. If breathing is diffi- cult, administer oxygen.

Ingestion: No first aid should be needed. Not considered a potential route of exposure.

Section 5 — Fire Fighting Measures

Flammability: Not flammable.

Conditions of flammability: Will not burn.

Extinguishing media: Use appropriate extinguishing media for surrounding fire.

Keep cylinders cool with water spray applied from a safe distance.

Section 6 — Accidental Release Measures

Evacuate the area and ventilate. Do not enter areas where high concentrations may exist (especially confined or poorly ventilated areas) without appropriate protective equipment including a self-contained breathing apparatus.

FM200 specifications

Sea-Fire FM200 is an advanced fire suppression system specifically designed for marine environments and critical asset protection. This highly-effective system utilizes hydrofluorocarbon (HFC-227ea) as its primary extinguishing agent, which is known for its excellent firefighting properties. The FM200 system is particularly favored for its ability to put out fires without causing damage to sensitive electronic equipment, making it an ideal choice for vessels, offshore platforms, and industrial facilities.

One of the main features of Sea-Fire FM200 is its rapid-fire extinguishing capability. The gas can suppress flames in just ten seconds, significantly minimizing damage and ensuring safety. This quick-response characteristic is critical in marine environments where fires can spread rapidly and pose severe risks to life and property.

The Sea-Fire FM200 system is designed with a flexible configuration, allowing it to be tailored to fit various vessel designs. This adaptability includes options for multiple storage containers and different discharge nozzles, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the protected area. This flexibility is crucial for accommodating the varying layouts found on ships, allowing for optimal placement of the system's components.

Another notable feature is the system’s automatic activation capability. Integrated with the latest detection technologies, Sea-Fire FM200 employs advanced smoke and heat detectors that can autonomously trigger the suppression system in the event of a fire. This automated functionality enhances safety by providing immediate response even in situations where personnel may not be present.

The Sea-Fire FM200 system also emphasizes ease of maintenance and reliability. Regular checks and servicing can be done without extensive downtime, allowing vessels to maintain operational efficiency. The system's components are designed to withstand harsh marine conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance.

In terms of environmental considerations, FM200 is often chosen for its low ozone depletion potential compared to other agents. It consists of a clean agent that won’t leave residues, making post-fire clean-up easier and minimizing the impact on marine ecosystems.

In summary, Sea-Fire FM200 stands out as a superior fire suppression solution in the maritime industry. With rapid extinguishing capabilities, flexibility for various installations, automatic activation through advanced detection systems, low environmental impact, and durability, it serves as a critical component in safeguarding vessels and valuable assets from the devastating effects of fire.
