A - Currently, no laws or regulations exist that require customer's to remove existing Halon 1301 systems from operation. However, many companies are voluntarily upgrading to more environmentally-friendly alternative suppression agents, such as HFC-125 / ECARO-25 or HFC-227ea / FM200 or FK-5-1-12 / NOVEC 1230. For those looking for 100% GREEN fire suppression we offer IG-55 and IG-541 Inert Agents. While Halon 1301 is banned from new manufacture, existing Halon reserves may be used to recharge existing Halon systems that have discharged.
A clean agent fire suppression system is the superior, cost-effective choice for protecting electronics and high-value assets - reducing the threat of costly downtime and business interruption. Since the elimination of Halon from the market in 1992 many alternative products have come to market. CFCs, Halons and other chemicals are destroying the vital ozone layer that protects us. Our Clean Agent Fire Protection Systems feature the non-ozone depleting clean agents providing our customers with the fire protection they need and still protecting the earth's precious ozone layer.

But when it comes to protecting high value machinery, computers and other electronic equipment, water can be more damaging than the fire itself! SSI has multiple products that provide solutions to protecting your valuable property / assets without the damage caused by typical sprinkler systems.
