Flexitec

Flexitec is a self-seeking automatic fire suppression system that requires no electrical power to operate. In the event of a fire, the tube will rupture at the hot spot and discharge the extinguisher contents directly onto the source of the fire.

The system uses a specialised polymer detection tube that is pressurised. The tube is routed through the compartment that needs protecting, secured in place with fixings, putting it right at the source of any fire. When a fire occurs and either touches the tubing or the heat is sufficiently high enough, the Flexitec tube wall softens and bursts at the hottest point allowing the extinguishing medium to extinguish the fire at the source.
