MODEL VOKS-5112
FK 5-1-12
Gaseous Suppression Systems
FK 5-1-12 is a fire extinguishing gas used for extinguishing fires. It is non-conductive and leaves no residue when evaporated. It was developed as an alternative to Halon 1301, which was banned under the Montreal Protocol. It is a colorless, odorless, and non-conductive gas effective for extinguishing fires in electrical and electronic equipment as well as special hazard classes. It is approved by UL and FM. The NOAEL level for FK5-1-12 gas is accepted as above 10%, while the LOAEL level is above 10.5%.

FK5-1-12 Characteristics
Fire Extinguishing Principles
FK5-1-12 is a fire extinguisher that is non-conductive, volatile, or gaseous and leaves no residue when evaporated.
The FK-5-1-12 extinguisher is a long-lasting, sustainable solution for fire protection in special hazard classes. While it appears as water at normal room temperature, it lacks insulating properties and rapidly transitions to the gas phase, making it highly effective for extinguishing electrical and electronic equipment.
Chemical Formula
FK-5-1-12 chemical, developed as an alternative to Halon 1301, which was banned due to its detrimental effects on the ozone layer under the Montreal Protocol, is a colorless, odorless, and non-conductive clean extinguishing gas.
Being carbon-based (C₆F₁₂O) and referred to as FK-5-1-12, it is pressurized with nitrogen gas at 25, 42, or 50 bar and stored in liquid phase within the cylinder.
It is an extinguishing gas approved by UL and FM.
For the FK-5-1-12 gas, the NOAEL level is accepted as above 10%, while the LOAEL level is above 10.5%.
