Why Replace Halon?

• Once regarded as the most effective fire suppressant agent for a wide range of applications

• ChloroFluoroCarbon (CFC) gas

• Not environment friendly Depletes the ozone layer above the Earth surface

• Ozone layer filters out harmful UVB radiation

• Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of halon is 16 times higher than any other CFC

Fire Suppression System Options

• Chemical Gases (FM-200™ & 3M™ Novec1230 Fire Protection Fluid)

• Inert Gases (Argonite etc)

• Carbon Dioxide

• Water Mist

• Others

3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid The “Next Generation” Halon Replacement

Meeting industry concerns for safety, performance and the environment

Page 8: NEXT GENERATION Kidde Engineered Fire Suppression System Designed for use with 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid.

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.
