Gas Extinguishing Systems
An inert, non-ozone-depleting gas quickly and effectively reduces the oxygen level in a room, making it an ideal solution for suppressing fires in data centers without causing damage to sensitive electronic equipment. Stored in cylinders as a pressurized liquid, the gas is discharged as a non-conductive and non-corrosive gas when a fire is detected.

Modac offers a comprehensive range of quality CO2 portable handheld extinguishers suitable for a wide range of fire types. It is important to ensure that your fire extinguisher is properly maintained and serviced.
Fire Proofing
Electrical equipment, wires and cables generate heat which can put Data Centres at risk of fires. Ceramic Fibre Ceiling Mats, Fire Doors and Fire-resistant Wall Panels are essential features in any Data Center, as they will create protective barriers to prevent the spread of a fire if one had to occur.
