Protecting our world
Almost every aspect of modern life has a direct or indirect effect on the environment. With increasing demand for awareness and action regarding environmental issues, SAPPHIRE systems help reduce environmental impact. Novec 1230 or FK5112 Agent has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and negligible global warming potential (GWP). The atmospheric lifetime of Novec 1230 or FK5112 Agent is between three and five days making SAPPHIRE systems an ideal solution without compromising the environment.
Hygood SAPPHIRE Fire Suppression System delivering 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid or FK5112 Agent is an environmentally friendly clean agent system, and the solution of choice for protecting people and high value assets.
The Hygood SAPPHIRE Engineered System is an automatic, fixed nozzle, fire suppression system using 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid or FK5112 Agent for Class A, B, and C fires. The system is designed and installed in accordance with the ISO 14520 or National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 2001, "Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems."
It is listed by LPCB and Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) , Underwriters of Canada (ULC), and approved by Factory Mutual (FM).
Neighbourly Protection
Almost everything we do has some impact on the environment, from switching on the air conditioner to starting the car. But Novec systems are different as the agent has zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of just one, with an atmospheric lifetime of between three and five days, making Novec agent environmentally friendly, with minimal impact.
Fast Acting Suppression
HYGOOD SAPPHIRE systems work fast and are designed to rapidly absorb heat to the point where combustion ceases. Once actuated, HYGOOD SAPPHIRE systems deliver the extinguishant within 10 seconds, stopping fires before they have the chance to spread. Most importantly when a fire is suppressed quickly, the result is less damage, lower refurbishment costs and reduced downtime.
Playing Safe
HYGOOD SAPPHIRE systems are ideal for use in occupied spaces. Independent toxicity studies have established that Novec 1230 or FK5112 is very low in both acute and chronic toxicity with high safety margins between its normal use concentrations and the No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL).
System Recharging
Filling and recharging Sapphire systems is straight forward as the agent’s high boiling point (49 degrees C) means it can be transported in lightweight drums rather than pressurised containers;
air-freighting is an acceptable method for transporting unpressurised Novec storage containers, without the need or cost of hazardous cargo management.
Low Pressure Technology
Hygood Sapphire systems operate at 25 bars and have been proven to achieve homogeneous distribution at this pressure resulting in the award of key internationally recognised approvals.
