Novec™ 1230 Fluid presents distinct environmental benefits, including a zero Ozone Deletion Factor (ODP) and the lowest Global Warming Potential (GWP) of an chemical based clean agent, key to satisfying demands of environmentally sensitive markets and end users.
The Engineered System offering—allows design flexibility using our new Novec™ 1230 Fluid system design software.
Provides a high safety margin with a 4.2% use concentration and a 10% NOAEL and > 10% LOAEL level.
Minimizes Storage Space.
Listed for hazard temperatures between 0°F and 132°F.


Environmental Profile:
Non ozone-depleting 
Five-day atmospheric lifetime 
Global Warming Potential of 1 
This environmental profile is unmatched by any other halogenated agent, and helps make 3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid today's long-term solution for protecting your high value assets.

3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid is a next-generation halon alternative designed to balance industry concerns for performance, human safety and the environment, which makes Novec 1230 fluid the first option to non-sustainable technologies:

•Zero ozone depletion potential
•5-day atmospheric lifetime
•A global warming potential of 1

Its low acute toxicity, combined with high extinguishing efficiency, give 3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid a significant margin of safety, even at relatively high extinguishing concentrations. This makes Novec 1230 fluid ideal for occupied spaces including engine and pump rooms, paint lockers and communication and control centers

3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid offers a number of important advantages over other clean agents and CO2 in marine applications.

Its low acute toxicity, combined with high extinguishing efficiency, give Novec 1230 fluid a significant margin of safety, even at relatively high extinguishing concentrations, making Novec 1230 fluid ideal for occupied spaces including

•Engine and pump rooms
•Paint lockers
•Communication and control centers
•Saves space and weight
•Fast extinguishment
•Allows flexibility in design
•No restriction of shipping 

3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid is a highly efficient extinguishing agent that:
•Is non-corrosive and electrically non-conductive, so it will not harm delicate electronics, radar, navigation and other equipment
•Evaporates quickly and completely
•Leaves no residue
•Can be safely used on energized equipment, helping to ensure continuity of operations during a fire emergency
