Commercial and industrial sites are next to residential areas in terms of fire occurrences. Like homes, it is also important to keep the workplace safe from fire with the appropriate installation of fire extinguishers (preferably clean agent type) and fire suppression system (e.g. ceiling type) to well-designated locations.
The cylinders are filled with the highest grade of chemical purity to assure its effectiveness in putting off fire. The clean extinguishing agent (CEA) used is HFC-236fa (1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane), an organic chemical in the form of a liquid gas, has zero ozone depleting potential. Hence, it is the most environment-friendly among others (vs HCFC-123, ODP = 0.02-0.06) to help address climate change.
Bronco is the original patent holder of “TherMan” (Thermostatic and Manual) which automatically extinguishes fire upon reaching a minimum room temperature of 57.2 degrees Celsius (135 deg Fahrenheit) due to its built-in thermal sensor, and can be operated manually like any portable unit.
The ceiling type also contains the same fire suppression agent and mechanism of action which gives round-the-clock fire protection. Its main advantage over a traditional fire sprinkler system which contains water, the clean agent used is non-conductor of electricity and non-corrosive. Hence, it is safe for sensitive equipment like computers, etc.
The wheeled type are designed for the heavy industrial sector with high fire hazard risk depending on the common combustible materials within the area.
Clean agent (green)- semiconductor factory
- electronics shop
- appliance store, etc
Dry chemical (red):
- furniture warehouse
- garment factory
- woodwork studio, etc
Bronco bears the longest warranty in the local market of five (5) years with lifetime chemical efficacy for clean agent and up to 12 years for dry chemical.
