 Extinguishing Mechanism

The Fire Tetrahedron

chain
Removing one of the
reaction
required components
for fire or disrupting
the balance between
them can cause a fire
to extinguish
heat
fuel
Novec 1230 Fluid
oxygen
extinguishes primarily via
cooling – removing heat
from the fire
 Compatible with
fire system materials
 Non-corrosive
 Long term testing of compatibility with materials of
construction (system hardware)
 Compatability with plastics confirmed
 30 year shelf life in properly maintained and
installed systems
