Clean agents are specialized fire suppression substances that extinguish flames without leaving residue or causing damage to sensitive equipment. They are often used in environments like data centers, museums, and hospitals, where traditional water-based systems could harm valuable assets. Common clean agents include FM-200, Novec 1230, and Inergen. These agents work by interrupting the chemical reaction of a fire, effectively reducing the oxygen levels or cooling the flames. Clean agent systems are designed to activate quickly and efficiently, ensuring safety while minimizing disruption to operations. Their use is crucial in protecting both people and property in critical settings.
