How Novec 1230 Works

Novec 1230 works by using a fluoroketone agent to instantly cool and smother the fire, providing quick and efficient suppression. The agent is stored as a liquid, and it is discharged as a gas, which is why it is often referred to as a “clean agent”. The agent works by interrupting the fire’s chain reaction, and it does not leave any damaging residue, making it a safe choice for protecting electronic and sensitive equipment.
