NATURA™ Inert Gas System
Environmentally safe and cost-effective fire protection system protecting assets including those in commercial, light industrial, and heavy industrial applications.
The NATURA™ Inert Gas system uses naturally occurring gases to extinguish fires by reducing oxygen levels to a point where combustion cannot be sustained. NATURA™ Inert gases are environmentally friendly, non-conductive, and leave no residue, making them ideal for protecting sensitive electronic equipment and valuable assets.
Why choose an inert gas system?
Safe for the Environment.
• Inert gases are found naturally in the atmosphere; fire protection uses pure and blends
• Zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP) aligning with sustainability goals
• Colorless and odorless at room temperature
Safe for Human Exposure.
• Approved by the EPA for use in normally occupied spaces at extinguishing concentrations below 52%
• Inert gases are non-toxic, making them an ideal choice for occupied areas
• Do not decompose or produce any by-products when exposed to a flame
Rapid and Effective Fire Suppression
• Doesn't damage equipment
• Suitable for low temperature applications, rooms that are hard to seal and open spaces such as museums and labs
• Actuation of up to 60 cylinders with a single release unit - lower cost
Minimal Downtime
• No residue to clean up after discharge
• Non-destructive - protects sensitive equipment and valuables
Choice of Inert Gas Agents:
• Four NFPA and ISO approved agents to suit regional recharge conditions and customer specifications
-IG-01 (100% Argon)
-IG-55 (Blend 50/50 Argon & Nitrogen)
-IG-100 (100% Nitrogen)
-IG-541 (Blend Argon, Nitrogen Carbon Dioxide)
• MDCs amongst best in class per NFPA 2001, UL and FM Standards
• Argon may be used for application specific Class D materials such as titanium dust, magnesium, etc.

New! NATURA™ Acoustic Nozzles
For use in applications requiring a system discharge generating a lower
sound output than a standard suppression nozzle
• Quieter, reduces sound levels to below 110dB (500 Hz and 10 kHz ) when measured at 3 feet (1 m)
• Aesthetically pleasing alternative to bulky nozzle-silencer combinations
• Can replace existing discharge nozzles without major pipe modifications
