- Building owners and managers often opt for clean gas fire suppression systems to protect valuable equipment.

When protecting occupied spaces and critical assets, your best choice may be a clean gas fire suppression system. 3M™ Novec™ 1230 agent extinguishes fires in seconds and minimizes damage. That makes it ideal for spaces where high-value equipment must remain operational. Examples include:
- Telecommunication switch rooms
- Computer and electronic control rooms
With zero ozone depletion potential, low atmospheric lifetime (only five days) and a global warming potential of 1 (about the same as naturally occurring carbon dioxide), Novec™ 1230 offers a viable, long-term sustainable technology for special hazards fire protection.
Chemetron, a world leader in special hazards fire protection for more than 60 years, uses Novec™ 1230 in its fire suppression systems.

CO2 Fire Suppression Systems
Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a colourless and odourless inert gas, extinguishes fire primarily by diluting the oxygen in the air and providing some cooling. CO2:
- Penetrates an entire hazard area within seconds.
- Occurs naturally in the earth's atmosphere and is one of the byproducts of combustion.
- Typically does not harm equipment, materials or property. It does not cause spoilage, requires no clean up and leaves no residue, thus minimizing downtime after a fire.
- Does not conduct electricity, making it ideal for a wide variety of special applications.
- Is effective on a wide range of flammable and combustible materials. It works on both surface and deep-seated fires.
- CO2 fire suppression systems work by flooding an enclosed protected area to the proper concentration, or directly applying this gas in appropriate amounts and at required rates to cover the protected hazard. Resulting small dry ice particles help project the discharge into the fire and improve hazard coverage.

Dry Chemical Applications for Spray Booths
Pre-engineered dry chemical fire suppression systems are specifically designed to protect automotive shop spray booths and industrial spray booths. Regulatory codes and industry standards:
- B.C. Fire Code (section 5)
- NFPA 17, Standard for Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systems
- NFPA 33, Standard for Spray Application Using Flammable or Combustible Materials
- UL 1254, Pre-engineered Dry Chemical Extinguishing System Units set out specific guidelines for the design, construction and maintenance of these spray booths and their fire suppression systems.
These spray booth fire suppression systems include an attached cylinder containing the dry chemical agent and are customized to fit the size of the booth. The extensive regulations reflect the flammable nature of paints traditionally used in spray booths. Although today’s booths use water-based paints, the code requirements remain in place and must be met.
Contact us today to ensure your spray booth’s fire suppression system complies with all applicable codes and bylaws.
