Description & Overview
FirePause Clean Agent Fire Extinguisher – HFC-236fa, 2 kg
The FirePause 2 kg HFC-236fa Clean Agent Extinguisher uses HFC-236fa (FE-36), a halocarbon clean agent with zero ozone-depletion potential and very low global warming potential (compared to Halon). It suppresses fire by chemically interrupting the combustion chain reaction without leaving any residue – making it the gold standard for protecting irreplaceable or sensitive assets.
