A Novec 1230 fire suppression system uses a clean agent gas, 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid, to extinguish fires by absorbing heat. It is an environmentally sustainable alternative to older agents like halon, featuring a zero ozone depletion potential and a low global warming potential, and is safe for use in occupied spaces.
Novec 1230 fluid contains neither bromine nor chlorine and has zero 0zone depleting potential.
The atmospheric lifetime of Novec 1230 fluid is estimated to be in the range of 3-5 days and with a global warming potential of 1, it is considered that the Novec 1230 fluid has no measurable impact on climate change.
These attributes ensure that Novec 1230 fluid represents a truly sustainable technology. The system rapidly discharges the fluid as a gas, which is safe for people and equipment because it leaves no residue and is electrically non-conductive.
It Provides a high safety margin with a 4.2% use concentration and a 10% NOAEL level, It is a fluid a atmospheric pressure and can be gravity fed for easy re-charge and extinguishes fire through heat absorption and not oxygen reduction.
This makes it an effective choice for protecting sensitive assets like data centers, server rooms, and electrical control rooms.
