FM-200™
Fire SuppressantProtecting Critical Needs Today and Tomorrow

Product Information
We estimate that there’s over a billion cubic feet of criticalspace around the globe already utilizing FM-200™ insystems to protect against the risk of fire; and, every year,
another 70 million ft3 of critical space utilizes theadvantages of FM-200™ fire protection. Most of theFM-200™ ever produced still remains in the original system
cylinders, available at a moment’s notice to provide rapid
fire protection for crucial operations.
The world’s largest power plants, most modern metro systems,latest airports, and most advanced defense vehicles, all rely on
systems with FM-200™ to perform and serve at their best.
Archives, libraries, and museums—from Egypt to Beijing toWashington, DC—trust it to protect the irreplaceable.
From the most powerful telescopes looking to distantgalaxies, to the cellular switch connecting your fingertips tothe internet, systems with FM-200™ provide essential fire
protection—allowing us to do more, dig deeper, and further
understand the world around us

substantial issues remain unresolved and under negotiation• Funding—levels and mechanisms• Exemptions—for uses, market, regions

EU F-Gas—Cap and allocation currently underway. No
effect on availability of FM-200™ to support fireapplications. Chemours has sufficient allocation tocontinue to support fire applications in the EU.

– Technical assessments– Codes and standards
Proposals to include HFCs under the Montreal Protocol
petition for a phase-down from current levels with adefined volume, typically 10-20% of current levels, havebeen extended indefinitely. This volume is to support usesand applications where HFCs provide the greatest benefit,
such as fire protection, pharmaceutical inhalers, specializedrefrigeration, as well as critical service and maintenancerequirements for existing installations.
