FirePro systems is a European active fire protection engineering company specializing in the design, production and distribution of environmentally friendly fire suppression systems. It is considered the leading brand of the condensed aerosol technology with operations in more than 110 countries.
Environmentally Friendly Compound:
The eco-friendly compound found inside the FirePro aerosol generator units uses environment friendly, naturally occurring potassium salts to extinguish fire by inhibiting the chemical chain reactions in the flame on a molecular level. It is a sustainable approach that challenges conventional firefighting technologies of cooling, starvation or smothering. The physical and chemical characteristics of the technology do not pose a threat to humans or the environment. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has listed FirePro technology in its Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) under the stratospheric ozone protection provisions of the Clean Air Act. The Green Label scheme recommends that they are ozone-friendly and do not contain CFC’s.
FirePro History:
The FirePro technology came to prominence following the Montreal Protocol treaty in the 1990s. The treaty was designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of various substances that are responsible for ozone depletion. In 1993, a cluster of environment, health and safety experts investigating fire suppression alternatives concluded that a particular potassium based technology, previously used in the aerospace industry, could be developed as a green alternative to the existing Halon 1301 and other chlorofluorocarbon based systems.
