3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a next-generation halon alternative designed to balance industry concerns for performance, human safety and the environment. With zero ozone depletion potential, extremely low global warming potential and short atmospheric lifetime, Novec 1230 fluid is the first halon replacement to offer a viable, long-term, sustainable technology for special hazards fire protection.
- Zero ozone depletion potential
- 5-day atmospheric lifetime
- A global warming potential of 1
This system can be used in a variety of applications:
Archives and Museums Fire Protection
3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid offers a number of unique advantages for protecting records stored on various electronic media; paper documents; archival film and video; fine arts, antiques and other valuable (and often irreplaceable) items which are vulnerable to conventional water, foam and dry chemical extinguishing agents.
Data Processing and Control Rooms
Even a small fire in critical facilities such as data processing centers, airport control towers,a clean rooms, laboratories and computer-controlled manufacturing operations can result in catastrophic loss by interrupting vital operations and damaging high-value equipment.
Marine
Its low acute toxicity, combined with high extinguishing efficiency, give 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid a significant margin of safety, even at relatively high extinguishing concentrations. This makes Novec 1230 fluid ideal for occupied spaces including engine and pump rooms, paint lockers and communication and control centers.
Oil & Gas
Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a highly-effective Class B fuel fire suppression as well as a Class B gas (ie: methane, propane) inerting extinguishant application, designed to knock down fires quickly, before they have a chance to spread to Class B hazards.
Fire Telecom
3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a highly efficient fire extinguishant designed especially for "special hazards." These are defined as spaces—such as telecommunication switch rooms, computer and electronic control rooms—where maintaining continuous operation of high-value equipment is critical.
