There's no question that fires are completely destructive, destroying lives and properties in the blink of an eye. Businesses are just as susceptible to the damages that fires can wreak. In fact, when it comes down to it, business establishments such as offices and factories are even worse off should a fire break out. The amount of property and items that can be destroyed in a business establishment is seriously difficult to ignore.

At one point, the fire suppression system of choice for businesses was the water sprinkler, but there are now a lot of suppression agents that don't use water. These systems don't just protect your office equipment and assets from fires. See, water is great as a suppressant, and it's still the first one that comes to mind when a fire breaks out. The problem is that water can destroy electronic equipment like computers, recorders, copiers, and whatever other electrical appliance is present in your office. Obviously, the damage to the electronic equipment is serious and you might even end up having to replace them. As such, given the prevalence of electronic equipment in offices these days, an alternative to water is simply necessary. One of the suppression chemicals we can try is Novec, and we won't have to worry about destroying our business assets.

Known as a "clean" chemical agent, Novec is one of the most popular suppression agents that are deemed "green" because it doesn't leave residue on the objects within a room upon spraying. Unlike water, it doesn't damage the objects inside your office. More importantly, it doesn't pollute the ozone and won't contribute to global warming. A lot of the other older fire suppression chemicals used in the past were discovered to serious pollutants. More importantly, it won't poison the area it was sprayed in, and it is completely safe for humans who may have to work in the office after the fire suppressant was sprayed.

Installing a fire suppression system that uses Novec can help protect your business from fires without destroying your electronic devices and your documents as well. Anything that water can destroy won't be harmed when you use Novec. What most people don't know is that Novec is a liquid while inside the extinguisher, but it's emitted as a gas once a fire breaks out. Apart from its "green" nature, Novec can be used in a variety of fire types. You can use it to suppress all types of fires, like fires caused by wood, paper, or fabric. It can be used on Class B fires, caused by flammable liquids. These are just the most common types of causes of fires in offices, so a Novec fire suppression system in your office and your home is a definitely good idea.

It's cheap and it's efficient, so there's no reason not to install Novec fires suppression systems in your home and office. How much of the system you will need will depend n the size of the property it needs to protect. Overall, however, having a Novec fires suppression system installed is cost efficient and protects your properties for a small amount of money. It's less than what you would spend to replace all the assets that fire (and the wrong fire suppressant) can cause.
