Inergen reduces oxygen content to about 12.5 percent – safely below the 15 percent level required for ordinary combustibles to burn, yet above the 10 percent level required by the EPA for human safety. When Inergen is discharged into a room, it introduces the proper mixture of gases that still allows a person to breathe in a reduced oxygen atmosphere. The increase in the carbon dioxide content increases a person’s respiration rate and the body’s ability to absorb oxygen.

Inergen is suitable for Class A, B & C fires. It exhibits no ozone depleting potential and does not contribute to global warming.
