Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide is an effective fire suppression agent applicable to a wide range of fire hazards.  It has a high rate of expansion which allows it to work fast. When applied to a fire, CO2 provides a heavy blanket of gas that reduces the oxygen level to a point where combustion cannot occur. Since carbon dioxide is a gas, there is no clean-up associated with a system discharge which means minimal business interruption.
