Argonite IG55 fire suppression systems

Argonite IG-55is a blend comprising 50% Argon (IG-01) and 50% Nitrogen (IG-100). It is an inert gas that is found naturally in the atmosphere. It therefore does not contribute to global warming and does not harm the ozone layer. It is chemically inert, is a non-conductor, colourless, odourless and tasteless. Argon is not corrosive and can be used at normal temperatures with material like nickel, steel, stainless steel, copper, brass and bronze. It is highly recommended for the protection of electrical and electronic materials.

As a general rule, the concentration will be sufficient to extinguish the fire when the oxygen concentration in the air is reduced from the normal level of 20.9% to levels below 15%, depending on the fuel.

IG-55 is stored as compressed gas in high pressure cylinders. The space required for the cylinders will therefore depend on their pressure and capacity. The fire extinguishing system with IG-55 is designed for a cylinder filling pressure of 200 and 300 bar.
