DuPont hosted seminars in the Gulf region on FM-200® and Halon replacement
DuPont recently hosted a series of seminars on FM-200® and Halon replacement across the Gulf region including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. FM-200® is a trusted choice in waterless fire suppression and is a member of the DuPont family of clean agent fire extinguishants.
DuPont also announced the launch of FM-200® Falcon Customer Protection Program designed to help protect FM-200® customers in the Middle East region. The Falcon Customer Protection Program is a 20 years warranty program for DuPont customers and it is currently available in Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
Led by Dr. Mark Robin, Senior Technical Services Consultant, Neil Roberts, Europe, Middle East and Africa [EMEA] Business Manager and Mohammed Shehabi, Middle East Regional Manager [ME], the seminar addressed clean agent market history and future trends, Halon replacement and clean agent comparisons, LEED Green Buildings and HFC Usage and Emissions reports.
"We are very delighted to announce the Falcon Customer program as it solidifies the position of FM-200 as the agent of choice in the region. The seminars were very successful and well-attended, with over 350 attendees. DuPont FM-200 is the most specified Halon replacement agent worldwide, and its unique characteristics make it the most appropriate product for clean agent systems. DuPont confirms through its seminars its commitment to supporting regional Halon replacement initiatives and future clean agent requirements," said Mohammed Shehabi, Regional Manager Middle East.
FM-200® is an important part of an environmentally responsible fire suppression solution. FM-200® systems reach extinguishing levels in 10 seconds or less, stopping ordinary combustible, electrical, and flammable liquid fires before they cause significant damage. This results in less damage, lower repair costs, and an extra margin of safety for people. It also means less downtime and disruption of business. FM-200® fire suppressant can be safely used where people are present.
DuPont's family of clean agent fire suppressants also includes the Halon 1211 replacing FE-36 portable fire extinguisher agent which provides maximum protection for people and assets at minimum impact to the environment. The range of Fire Extinguishants embody DuPont's over 208 years of commitment to the safety of people, assets, and the environment.
