Novec 1230 fire suppression system, is one of the newest clean agents in Halon alternatives.
It has distinct environmental benefits over any other active Halon alternative. These engineered systems that are employing Novec 1230 fluid are typically installed in:
In seconds, not minutes, the System discharges
the suppression agent into the hazard area providing the fastest fire
protection available. This results in less damage, fewer repair costs and
reduced downtime.
Removed from the hazard area by ventilation, Clean
Agents allow a virtually immediate return to “business as usual” without
the interruption of a costly clean-up and the expense of damage to
assets from residue.
NOVEC 1230 Clean Agents are non-toxic, when used in compliance
with NFPA Standard 2001. Clean Agents do not impair breathing or
obscure vision in an emergency situation, providing an added measure
of safety for personnel.
With a zero Ozone Depletion Potential, a low atmospheric lifetime, and its rapid suppression
performance,NOVEC 1230 Clean Agents not only offer low environmental
impact, but reduce the potentially devastating atmospheric pollutants
of an uncontrolled fire.
NOVEC 1230 Clean Agents have been tested and found to
be effective on the widest possible range of Class A surface fire (wood,
paper and cloth), Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fuels.
Used in more than 70 countries around the world,
NOVEC 1230 Clean Agents meet the standards of Underwriters Laboratories,
Factory Mutual, the National Fire Protection Association (2001 Standard),
the U.S. EPA SNAP program and most global approval authorities.
