IG 55, also known as Argonite, is a clean, non-toxic, and non-conductive fire suppression gas that is used in a variety of industries to suppress fires. It is a mixture of two inert gases: 50% argon and 50% nitrogen.
Here are some of its features and uses:
Features:
IG 55 is a clean and environmentally friendly gas
as it does not contain any harmful chemicals or substances.
It is a colorless and odorless gas
which makes it safe for humans and animals to be around.
IG 55 is a non-conductive gas
meaning it does not conduct electricity, making it safe to use around electrical equipment.
It has a high density
which allows it to displace oxygen quickly and effectively in the event of a fire.
Uses:
fire suppression agent
IG 55 is commonly used as a fire suppression agent in areas where water or other traditional fire suppression methods are not suitable, such as data centers, museums, archives, and power plants.
industrial applications
It is also used in industrial applications, such as metalworking, welding, and laser cutting, where fires can quickly spread due to the presence of flammable materials.
Due to its non-conductive properties, IG 55 can be used in areas where there is a risk of electrical fires, such as in server rooms, computer labs, and telecommunications facilities.
Additionally, IG 55 is used in marine applications, such as engine rooms and cargo hold, to suppress fires and prevent damage to vessels.
