FK-5-1-12 Specifications

FK-5-1-12 Fire Protection Fluid is an advanced, clean fire suppression agent sourced from Fire Fluid Technologies, a trusted U.S. supplier. It is widely approved and relied upon for protecting critical assets across a range of high-risk environments.

Common Applications

  • Data Centers
  • Electrical Equipment
  • Industrial Fire Safety
  • Oil & Gas Fire Suppression
  • Telecommunications Equipment
  • Marine Fire Protection
  • Aviation Fire Safety
  • Power Generation Facilities
  • BESS/ESS Energy Storage Systems
  • Historical Archives & Museums

How Does It Work?

Fire requires three elements to exist—oxygen, fuel, and heat—known as the fire triangle. FK-5-1-12 extinguishes fire by removing the heat, effectively breaking the triangle and stopping combustion without leaving residue or damaging sensitive equipment.

Is it Safe?

Yes — FK-5-1-12 is non-toxic and safe for use in occupied spaces. It is ideal for protecting sensitive environments where both equipment and human safety are critical, such as data centers, telecommunications facilities, and healthcare institutions.

Occupied Space Examples:

  • Hospitals
  • Transportation Hubs
  • Laboratories

 

FK-5-1-12 meets the stringent safety and performance standards set by UL, ULC, and FM Global, ensuring it is both effective and compliant in the most demanding applications.

Sustainability

FK-5-1-12 (Dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one) is a fluoroketone-based fire protection fluid that sets the gold standard in environmental safety. With zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and a global warming potential (GWP) of less than 1, it is one of the most eco-friendly clean agents available today.
