Smart. Safe. Sustainable.

3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is an environmentally sustainable agent that quickly extinguishes fires without damaging electronics or other valuable assets. With no residue left after a discharge, a system using 3M Novec 1230 fluid is the optimal solution for minimizing downtime and protecting people, processes and irreplaceable assets.

3M Novec 1230 fluid is a waterless fire suppressing agent that is discharged as a gas. This provides non-damaging three-dimensional fire suppressing capability, making it the ideal agent for extinguishing even concealed fires in spaces where electronics or irreplaceable, mission-critical assets are stored, or where continuity of operations is crucial. Plus, it has a high margin of occupant safety to protect people as well as equipment.

The Fike Impulse Valve Advantage

In addition to the benefits of using 3M Novec 1230 fluid as an extinguishing agent, this system also provides the added benefits of Fike’s patented Impulse Valve Technology, which are derived from a rupture disc-based valve:

• Unimpeded agent flow out of the valve
• Longer pipe runs
• Smaller pipe diameter
• Greater design flexibility
• Greater reliability
