We at FirePro Systems aim to Identify RISKS Design SOLUTIONS Prevent DISASTERS
As Presenter I aim to arouse: INTEREST AWARENESS CONCERN You decide what is BEST for you
HISTORY OF AEROSOL - Solid Potassium Based Salts - Brief History 15th Century Potassium salts used for extinguishing in Germany Mid 20th Century Russians develop technology based on potassium salts Transforms into gaseous aerosol form 2003 2006 FirePro has Patented Aerosol Technology
PROGRESS OF AEROSOL Main factors Initially Aerosol Technology not widely used Its potential scope of application Its 'Green' and Environmental Properties The need to find 'halon alternatives' Official Regulatory Bodies 'obliged' to develop Standards
AND TODAY... FirePro has most number of Approvals, Listings, Certifications & Test Reports
FirePro Systems Limited Established 1996 Cyprus - Head Quarters Athens, Greece Office Budapest, Hungary Office PRESENCE IN OVER 70 COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE
FIREPRO SBK COMPOUND NON PYROTECHNIC - patented Compact strong solid Potassium salts (key compound - K2CO3) Certified Life Time 15 Years Superior and stable performance Self activation temperature 300 C Non Toxic No chemical reaction with cooling material Principle of Activation; (a) Thermal Energy, (b) Electrical Energy Transformation of Solid to Gaseous Aerosol phase

EXTINGUISHING ACTION FirePro Aerosol, extinguishes fire by Inhibiting the chain chemical reaction on molecular level Removing the flame free radicals FirePro extinguishes fire without depleting oxygen
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TYPES OF GASEOUS SYSTEMS Inert gases extinguish by oxygen depletion Halocarbons extinguish mainly by heat absorption, chemical reaction Fluorinated Ketones extinguish mainly by heat absorption, chemical reaction
EFFECT ON HUMANS Halocarbons EFFECT ON PROPERTY EFFECT ON ENVIRONMENT
