Halocarbon fire suppression systems
How Halocarbon gas fire suppression system work– Fast & Clean Fire Protection
FK-5-1-12 fire suppression agent offers a unique combination of safety, negligible environmental impact and excellent extinguishing performance, making it an ideal solution for your critical equipment.
- Zero ozone depletion potential
- 5-day atmospheric lifetime
- Global warming potential <1
Rotarex Firetec offers several fire protection systems using FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent. The total flooding system (RX5112 System) for closed rooms such as server rooms, and the local application system, which, in addition to offering systems using FK-5-1-12, also offers the HFC-227 agent (FireDETEC System) to protect specific equipment or areas such as CNC machines or electrical cabinets.

Why Choose RX5112 total flooding system? Reliable & Residue-Free Fire Protection for Critical Assets
The RX5112 System is the ideal fire protection solution for data centers and archives, ensuring fire suppression without damaging equipment or sensitive documents. Indeed, the FK-5-1-12 clean agent is non-conductive and non-corrosive. After a system discharge, it is no longer necessary to clean before resuming operations. This guarantees minimal downtime and maximum security for critical assets.

Halocarbon fire protection system
Halocarbon gas fire suppression systems use FK-5-1-12 agents which reduce the oxygen level by absorbing heat. In the event of a fire, the clean agent system automatically discharges the agent, quickly and effectively extinguishing the fire before it spreads.
Yes, FK-5-1-12 has a NOAEL (No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level) of 10%, so it remains safe for humans at typical concentrations. RX5112 systems operate at low pressure, reducing any risk of sudden impact or noise hazard during discharge.
The halocarbon RX5112 system extinguishes a fire in just a few seconds, making it one of the fastest fire extinguishing solutions available. The clean agent system will automatically discharge the agent, which will quickly and effectively extinguish the fire before it spreads.
FK-5-1-12 has a Global Warming Potential of less than 1, a fast natural degradation (max. 5 days of atmospheric lifetime) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential, making it an environmentally friendly fire extinguishing solution.
- Space efficient: Minimal storage space by optimizing bottle locations, perfect for small spaces.
- Highly effective: Fast and efficient fire extinguishing.
- Safe for humans: The system operates within NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) limitations.
- No residue: Nothing to clean up after discharge.
RX5112 by Rotarex Firetec is a complete UL, FM & VdS Approved Halocarbon Gas Fire Suppression System.
