Safe alternatives from Eusebi

Published: 01 January, 2007

In conjunction with manufacturing conventional Halon alternatives such as argon, nitrogen, IG 55 or IG 541, Eusebi Impianti srl has developed two new firefighting systems: the NAF S 125 and the EI FOG Water Mist System.

Both systems are entirely manufactured and designed by the companies of the Eusebi Group. The NAF S 125 is a technically-advanced extinguishing agent for total flooding applications.
This extinguishing agent has zero impact on the ozone layer and, furthermore, it is in complete compliance with environmental regulations, says Eusebi. Today, NAF S 125 systems offer the same performance as Halon 1301 systems, demonstrating a high speed of extinguishment and minimising any negative effects on property or humans, yet remaining environmentally-friendly, reports the company.
The other system is the EI FOG Water Mist system. This is a high pressure system which operates between 100 and 120bar and is fitted with special distributor nozzles which sprinkle water in tiny droplets. Both systems are certified following CE, IMO and UL standards. For more information, visit www.eusebi-impianti.it
