Fire suppression systems: a major obstacle to fire

Of course, predicting emergencies is not easy, so proper and thorough preparation is vital to any facility. Today, more than ever, modular automatic fire extinguishers are a necessity for any business or institution. With the increasing number of electrical appliances that can easily malfunction or catch fire, many buildings, both residential and industrial, now have special fire suppression systems.

However large the premises, an automatic fire suppression system will activate every time the building is threatened by fire. Addressing the issue of fire safety and fire extinguishers in good time will ensure that you, your colleagues and your building are protected. Fire suppression systems provide guaranteed protection against emergencies, activating instantly in response to the alarm signal.

Several types of fire suppression system are currently available: the most common are based on powder, gas and water. Each has its advantages: powder-based systems are the least expensive, water-based systems are harmless to humans, and with gas-based systems the risk of damage to property is lowest. Their obvious pros, however, are significantly outweighed by their cons. Powder sticks to surfaces, irreparably damaging property. Water-based systems spray water for at least an hour, with the damage to the whole area obvious. Gas-based systems can work only in the absence of humans, as the gas they use is lethal.

Another example to add to this list is the innovative fire suppression system based on BONTEL organic fire extinguishing liquid. BONTEL products, which are based on that liquid, are becoming increasingly popular, both with municipal institutions, where the fire suppression systems are required by the Fire Safety Inspection Service, and with private citizens – drivers and homemakers, who want to be sure of protection against sudden fires.
