When protecting critical spaces like data centers, server rooms, control rooms, museums, or telecom hubs, traditional fire suppression systems can often cause more damage than the fire itself. The Novec 1230 Fire Suppression System offers an advanced, reliable, and eco-friendly solution—engineered to extinguish fires quickly without harming sensitive equipment, people, or the environment.
Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid, developed by 3M, is a next-generation clean agent designed to suppress fires rapidly and safely. It is a fluorinated ketone that is liquid at room temperature and transforms into a gas upon discharge to extinguish fires efficiently.
Boiling Point: 49°C
Super-Pressurization: With nitrogen at 25 bar
Suppression Mechanism: Absorbs heat (primary), with minor chemical interference with the flame
Novec 1230 is one of the most sustainable fire suppression agents available today. It is free from ozone-depleting chemicals and has a global warming potential (GWP) of only 1, with an atmospheric lifetime of 3–5 days—a massive improvement over older alternatives like Halon.
Zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP)
Negligible Global Warming Potential (GWP = 1)
Atmospheric lifetime < 5 days
Compliant with global environmental standards
Exempt from ODS and synthetic greenhouse gas regulations
Novec 1230 is proven to be safe for people. Toxicology tests show that the system has a No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) above 10%, while typical design concentrations are around 4.2%. This provides a high safety margin even in enclosed, occupied spaces.
Suitable for occupied areas
Non-conductive and residue-free
Safe for sensitive electronics, documents, and art
Non-toxic at design concentrations
Novec 1230 provides rapid fire protection by absorbing heat, not displacing oxygen. It is effective against:
Class A Fires – Combustible materials like wood and paper
Class B Fires – Flammable liquids
Class C Fires – Electrical fires
The system is engineered for complete discharge within 10 seconds, stopping the fire before it spreads.
Novec 1230 is designed for use in a wide range of critical environments, including:
Data Centers
Server & IT Rooms
Telecommunications Facilities
Control Rooms
Museums & Archives
Laboratories & Cleanrooms
Offshore Platforms
Room Integrity Testing ensures the protected space can maintain sufficient concentration of Novec 1230 after discharge for at least 10 minutes—providing critical time for fire services to intervene and minimize risk. This test is required during system commissioning and forms part of regular maintenance schedules.
