Did you know
- Novec FK-5-1-12, also known by its brand name 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid, was patented and introduced to the market by 3M in the early 2000s as a halon replacement and an alternative to hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
- Within the Novec range, FK-5-1-12 (Novec 1230) is a fluoroketone clean agent fire suppressant, distinguishing it from other Novec fluids like Novec 7100 and Novec 649, which are primarily engineered fluids for heat transfer and solvent applications.
- FK-5-1-12 is chosen for its ability to rapidly extinguish fires by removing heat, without leaving residue or damaging sensitive equipment, and for its favorable environmental profile, including a low global warming potential and a short atmospheric lifetime.
