Enclosure Fire Suppression
FK-5-1-12 Fire-Suppression Microcapsules
Polymer-shelled microcapsules containing FK-5-1-12 agent for integration into heat-activated components.
Illustrative visualProduct overview
What it is and where it fits.
The microcapsules are designed to rupture near a specified thermal trigger and release FK-5-1-12 agent close to an incipient ignition source. Downstream developers select the carrier, design the component and complete compatibility, performance and compliance testing.
Selection starts with the substrate, equipment, operating environment and intended application process.
