NOVEC 1230 (FK 5-1-12) Clean Agent Fire Suppression System

Novec 1230 (FK-5-1-12) is an inert, carbon-based (C₆F₁₂O) colorless, odorless, and electrically non-conductive clean extinguishing gas developed by 3M™ as an alternative to the ozone-depleting Halon 1301. It is one of the most popular clean gas fire extinguishers and is approved by many standards and organizations around the world, such as UL, FM, and LPCB.

It extinguishes the fire using chemical and physical effects without affecting the oxygen in the space. When the NFPA 2001 concentration meets the specifications, it is respirable and poses no threat to human health.

Novec 1230 controls A, B, and C class fires in less than 10 seconds. As a result, it does not leave any residue in the environment and avoids the creation of smoke. This time frame needs to be verified using a hydraulic calculation that is conducted using authorized software from the brand that is provided. Neglect in accounts created with unlicensed or different brand software might result in significant losses.

Novec 1230 gas has a 3 to 5-day atmospheric life, and its global warming potential is 1. Therefore, Novec 1230 gas has no impact on the global warming problem. The atmospheric life of the FM-200, Novec 1230's closest competitor, is between 33 and 36 years, indicating a high global warming factor.

Due to its extremely high boiling point, Novec 1230 extinguishing gas is readily available in liquid form at room temperature, which is one of its biggest advantages. As a result, it doesn't need to be loaded into pressurized containers and can be transported and stored easily in liquid transport containers.

Novec 1230 is the most environmentally friendly chemical extinguishing gas, and its use is steadily rising. It can be used anywhere halon-based extinguishers are used.
