8. 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid How Does it Work? Fire can be extinguished by the following mechanisms –By interrupting the combustion chain reaction –By containing or eliminating the source of fuel –By cutting off or diluting the source of oxygen –By removing sufficient heat from the fire Novec 1230 fluid has the highest heat capacity of any commercially available halon alternative, resulting in the lowest extinguishing concentrations for a given fuel.

9. 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid Agent Decomposition Issues Hydrogen Fluoride [HF] can be produced in small quantities during extinguishing process at high temperatures HF Concentration depends on: Fire type and growth profile Detection and control responses Discharge time Agent concentration Enclosure volume

10. 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid Agent Decomposition Issues HF concentration of the same magnitude as HFC-227ea decomposition products HF levels well below hazardous levels for people No threat to sensitive equipment Rapid discharge and extinguishing minimises the production of decomposition products.
