Standard ECS with 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid
Fire Extinguishing System
Clean Agent for High Value Asset Protection
NovecTM 1230 fluid (FK-5-1-12) is a fluorinated ketone that is stored as a liquid and discharged as a gas.
It distributes uniformly throughout the hazard zone, and sup-presses fire primarily by heat absorption from the flame.
ENVIRONMENT CLEAN
With a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), a global NovecTM 1230 fluid discharges as a colourless, electrically
warming potential (GWP) of just one, and an non-conductive and non-corrosive gas that does not
