Novec-1230 Fire Suppression System
Novec-1230 fluid revolutionized the fire protection market 15 years ago. Today, with more than 50,000 system installations in over 90 countries, and the approvals to back up our promises, we continue to move the industry forward with the purpose of delivering a solution that is designed to work now and for years to come. All clean agents are not the same. For example, HFC-227ea, sold under the FM-200® brand, is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) clean agent – which is a potent greenhouse gas. Due to their high global warming potentials (GWP), time is running out for HFCs, including FM-200. Novec 1230 fluid revolutionized the clean agent market in 2001 and now sets a new standard for sustainable clean agent fire suppression. Its unique dielectric properties and low vapor pressure yields design advantages to satisfy your top priority – protecting your assets. These advantages include ease of handling and the flexibility for higher pressure system innovation that is not practical for halons and HFCs. Specifying Novec 1230 fluid leverages these advances in fire suppression to protect your operations while eliminating future risks associated HFCs such as FM-200.
