Research & Development

Our Research and Development department has always been active with a large percentage of our total business dedicated at improving & expanding our existing product line and of course, developing new applications and technologies.

Our motto: Flexibility, Maintainability and Quality !

With the resounding success of the first generation TotalPac® as a solid base for development, our engineers left no stone unturned and worked on the design of the new TotalPac2, improving the concept to levels unseen in the industry.  Not only have they worked on the physical appearance of the unit but they have also improved its construction, pushing the modular design concept to new limits.

The result: a user-friendly integrated fire protection system packaged in an architecturally pleasing enclosure offering a variety of configurations and options available from no other manufacturer.  With both top quality sprinkler trim components from the Viking Corporation and FireFlex Systems' know-how, the TotalPac2 Unit truly continues to set the standard in the industry, the integrated system by which every other is judged.

A new fire suppression technology:

In parallel to developing our existing product lines, FireFlex Systems inc. has also been involved in research and development work with the National Research Council of Canada (NRCC) in order to develop the new Compressed Air Foam (ICAF) fire extinguishing technology, pushing the limits of fire protection in applications where water supply, containment drainage and treatment used to be a problem.

Where before, hazards would not be protected with AFFF due to significant auxiliary costs, ICAF now provides an economical alternative to AFFF foam and other suppression agents.

Combined Clean Agent & Sprinklers Systems:
Most telecommunications and computer facilities nowadays are protected with clean agent systems and a preaction automatic sprinkler system is always mandated as a back-up by the insurance. 

FireFlex Systems integrated both systems in a single cabinet, combining their operation with a common releasing panel and simplifying installation.   Furthermore, specifying the FireFlex DUAL system makes the engineer's work much simpler and avoids most of the coordination problems so common to those projects.
