Inert Gas is a fast and efficient extinguishing medium. Inert Gas is natural, non-toxic and chemically inert. Inert Gas is safe for people, environmentally friendly and requires minimal cleanup. Inert Gas can be used on flammable liquid and electrical fires. Inert gas systems can be used for total flooding applications. There are a number of brands on the market. The main features of all of them are the same.

Inert gases are those which usually do not chemically react. The usual Inert gas is Argon either on its own or in combination with other gases, principally Nitrogen. The extinguishing mechanism is through reducing the oxygen to a level that will not support combustion.
