Using water as a fire suppressant in areas where electronics operate and irreplaceable, high-
value assets are stored could be as devastating as fire itself. Protect them instead with an ANSUL® SAPPHIRE® clean agent system, custom-engineered to quickly suppress fires and protect sensitive equipment without causing harm to people or the environment.

ANSUL® SAPPHIRE® fixed nozzle, fire suppression systems use 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fire protection fluid for total flooding applications. The agent has 0.0 ozone depletion potential, an atmospheric lifetime of just five days, and a global warming potential of 1.0.

Vanguard custom engineers every Sapphire clean agent system for the specific application using the most effective, yet efficient arrangement of storage, actuation, distribution and discharge components.

To better understand the advancements in green fire suppression technology, and the benefits of SAPPHIRE®, read a recent whitepaper on the damaging effects of older suppression agents which use HFC's (Hydroflourocarbons) here.

Three different, well recognized organizations named the ANSUL® SAPPHIRE® Fire Suppression System “Product of the Year" for 2004.
