FM-200 HFC-227ea
Its chemical formula is CF3-CHF-CF3, or C3HF7. With a boiling point of -16.4 C, it
is a gas at room temperature. It is slightly soluble in water (260 mg/L).
HFC-227ea finds use in fire suppression systems in data processing and
telecommunication facilities, and in protection of many flammable liquids and gases. HFC227ea falls in the category of Clean Agents and is governed by NFPA 2001 - Standard for
Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems. Effective fire suppression requires introducing a
concentration of the HFC-227ea agent between 6.25% and 9% depending on the hazard being
protected. Its NOAEL level for cardiac sensitization is 9%. The United States Environmental
Protection Agency allows concentration of 9% volume in occupied spaces without mandated
egress time, or up to 10.5% for a limited time. Most fire suppression systems are designed to
provide concentration of 6.25-9%.The HFC-227ea fire suppression agent was the first nonozone depleting replacement for Halon 1301 In addition, HFC-227ea leaves no residue on
valuable equipment after discharge. HFC-227ea contains no chlorine or bromine atoms,
presenting no ozone depletion effect. Its atmospheric lifetime is approximated between 31 and
42 years. It leaves no residue or oily deposits and can be removed by ventilation of the
affected space.As an aerosol propellant, HFC-227ea is used in pharmaceutical metered dose
inhalers such as those used for dispensing asthma medication.
At high temperatures, heptafluoropropane will decompose and produce hydrogen
fluoride. This is observable as presence of sharp, pungent odour, which can be perceived in
concentrations far below a dangerous level. Other decomposition products include carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide. Prior to re-entry of a room where HFC-227ea system has been
activated to suppress a fire, the atmosphere should be tested.Contact with liquid HFC-227ea
may cause frostbite
