IG55( commonly referred to as Argonite or I3)

IG55 is a clean fire suppression agent that’s non-Toxic, non corrosive, odourless, leaves no residue and has a smaller footprint than lower pressure inert gas systems.

Environmentally IG55 brings nothing new and thus potentially damaging – to the atmosphere. It comprises a pure 50:50 mixture of two gases which occur naturally, Argon and Nitrogen. What’s more, because the blended components have a density similar to air, the mixture is able to retain its concentration in the risk area for far longer than chemical alternattives.

IG55 meets important environmental criteria, with no global warming or ozone depleting potential. Because it is inert, it forms no breakdown products minimising the risk of consequential damage.

It is, in short, an acceptable alternative to HFC’s, being safe to use in occupied spaces and with the benefit of having been recognised by regulatory bodies around the world
