3M™ Novec™

Data Processing and Control Rooms


Even a small fire in critical facilities such as data processing centers, airport control towers, clean rooms, laboratories and computer-controlled manufacturing operations can result in catastrophic loss by interrupting vital operations and damaging high-value equipment.

In these situations, it's important that fires be knocked down quickly - before they have a chance to spread - and that sensitive electronics and other equipment not be damaged in the process of putting out the fire.


3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a highly-efficient extinguishing agent that:

  • Is electrically non-conductive
  • Is non-corrosive
  • Rapidly vaporizes to gas during discharge
  • Leaves no residue
  • Does not damage electronics, electronic media and delicate mechanical devices
  • Can be safely used on energized equipment, helping to ensure continuity of operations during a fire emergency

Safety Advantages:

Another major advantage of 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is its wide margin of safety in use - providing more flexibility in system design compared with other halon alternatives and ensures that occupants can safely egress the space since the NOAEL will not be exceeded.

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 high value assets.
