ANSUL® SAPPHIRE™

Suppression Systemswith 3M™ Novec™ 1230Fire Protection Fluid.Long-term technology.Novec 1230 fire protection fluid isC6 Fluoroketone, a breakthrough compoundwhich provides tremendous environmentaladvantages over hydrofluorocarbons. In aword: "SUSTAINABLE."

Earth-safe numbers.Novec 1230 fluid has ZERO ozone depletionpotential (ODP) and the lowest atmosphericlifetime for halocarbons: FIVE DAYS (theclosest alternative is 33 years). Plus, a globalwarming potential of just ONE is 99.9%lower that any halocarbon agent acceptablefor use in occupied spaces.

Widest margin of safety.Novec 1230 fluid is used at concentrationsof 4 - 6% by volume which is significantlylower than its 10% NOAEL (No ObservableAdverse Effects Level). This provides thewidest safety margin of any chemical cleanagent on the market: 67-150%.

Worth the wait.When halon was banned from productionin 1994, some companies were quick tojump on the first saleable chemicalalternatives.
