3M™ Novec™ 1230 fire systems
The search for halon 1301 replacements has been on-going for over 10 years and each alternative brings with it a unique set of properties. We have brought to the market products that match the requirements of industry and our latest research allows us to introduce fire protection systems using 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid , a new development with some advantages over current technologies. 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid allows us to complement our existing range of agents as the phase out of halons accelerates in many countries around the world.
3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid contains neither bromine nor chlorine and has zero 0zone depleting potential.
The atmospheric lifetime of 3M™ 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 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid has no measurable impact on climate change.
These attributes ensure that 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid represents a truly sustainable technology. When fire breaks out in server rooms, data centres, museums and other sensitive environments, sometimes the solution can be as damaging as the fire.
