the

SAFEST

protection
with nitrogen
Society is increasingly more aware of the need to protect the environment and therefore demands environmentally friendly products. SIEX therefore offers customers the INERT-SIEXTM 100 system, which uses
an environmentally friendly extinguishing agent, Nitrogen, a major component of the atmosphere and
which has no adverse effects on the environment.
Linked to this need to take care of the place we live in, this system combines maximum protection with
high firefighting efficiency. Moreover, given the high availability of this agent, coupled to its significant
firefighting features, the system as a whole is highly competitive.
The use of IG-100 agenteffective for any type of applicationensures a compact, flexible design adaptable to any hazard, suitable for use with selector valves, with the greatest coverage in the market and
maximum safety and effectiveness.

IG-100,
ECO-FRIENDLY AND
VERSATILE
INERT-SIEXTM 100 uses nitrogen as an extinguishing agent for total flooding of occupied
and unoccupied rooms. This gas is the main component of the atmosphere (78%) and
is usually found as N2, a very stable and unreactive molecule.

IG-100: NITROGEN
It is a abundant agent, and using it is sustainable, effective and clean. It is widely used
and recognized for its firefighting effectiveness due to its features, scalability and technical suitability.
It is ECO-FRIENDLY since it is obtained from the very air we breathe. As an extinguishing gas, it does not contribute to global warming (GWP), and when it is returned to
the atmosphere after simple ventilation, it does not affect the ozone layer (ODP), or
have negative effects on the environment.
It is considered a CLEAN agent because it leaves no particles after discharge that could
interfere with people or objects. It does not harm electronic equipment or machinery,
does not react with moisture or produce any hazardous compound. It is inert and does
not cause corrosion.

It should be noted that it is completely safe for people in the design concentrations.
It is VERY VERSATILE, effective for a large number of applications. Given its excellent
safety and environmental qualities, it can be used with no restrictions.

HOW IT WORKS
Nitrogen is extracted from the atmosphere and stored as a pressurized gas of high

purity (100%). By its chemical properties, most notably its stable molecule (N2), it
behaves like an inert agent that is not altered under any circumstances (temperature,
storage, handling, humidity, etc.) and does not react to any other compound.
It is stored at high pressure in gaseous state to reduce the size and number of
cylinders and thus minimize the space required for the equipment.
To reduce the installation cost, improve safety and increase discharge performance,
a single calibrated restrictor is used reducing the pressure to below 60 bar
downstream of the cylinder or the cylinder bank. This means that, if necessary,
cylinders can be stored far from the protected hazard making it possible to deal
with any architectural obstacle.

Thus, it is suitable for places where there is a risk of fire
in any part of the enclosure and especially towards the
top, where false ceilings, or agent leakage at the bottom.
