Novec fire protection fluid 1230 is a clean extinguishing agent that becomes a gas upon discharge, leaving no messy residue and allowing vital operating systems to continue functioning.
It provides a large margin of safety, for example, in the key operational areas of refineries, rigs and tankers, as well as in data processing centres, archives and museums.
The 1230 fluid is stored as a liquid and discharged into the protected space as a gas. It has zero ozone depletion potential, low global warming potential and an atmospheric lifetime of five days, both on the order of naturally occurring compounds.
The1230 fluid puts fires out quickly before they can do any serious damage. It does this by reaching extinguishing concentrations in 10 seconds or less.
It is effective on a wide range of fires and is an electrically non-conductive and non-corrosive gas.
