- Environmentally-friendly
and sustainable portfolio
- New Siemens ADVtechnology ensures more efficient design process with
multi-use components
- Support throughout the entire fire safety system lifecycle thanks to
extensive Siemens expertise and access to digital tools
Siemens Smart Infrastructure introduces its
new natural agent extinguishing portfolio, Sinorix NXN. Focusing on the
protection of lives, assets and business continuity, the new fire extinguishing
portfolio combines simplicity with advanced technology to modernize traditional
fire safety. The agents consist of the natural gases argon, nitrogen and carbon
dioxide. They are ideal for specific application areas such as storage rooms
for chemicals (argon), critical electrical infrastructure (nitrogen) or
unmanned areas (carbon dioxide). The new Sinorix NXN portfolio uses only agents
and compounds that are naturally found in our atmosphere and do not harm the environment. It also has a reduced
ecological footprint, thanks to its compact and versatile product design.
