Brand Spotlight: Novec 1230 Fire Suppression Systems

Fire suppression systems save countless lives and billions of dollars every year. It’s safe to assume that just about everyone knows how important these systems are. But what kind of fire suppression system do you use when water from a fire sprinkler could damage expensive equipment or priceless artifacts? That is where Novec 1230 Fire Suppression Systems step in. Novec 1230 is a Halon replacement and is used as a gaseous fire suppression agent in buildings like banks, hospitals, computer server rooms, museums, archives and more. With a low atmospheric lifetime of just five days, Novec 1230 Fire Suppression Systems are an environmentally friendly way of making sure there is minimal injury to people and minimal damage to expensive equipment in the event of a fire. This is just one of the fire suppression systems Hard Fire offers for its customers.

Novec 1230 is manufactured by 3M and is stored as a liquid. This makes it easier to transport from place to place, and it is calculated within 10 seconds and usually at about 4.2% concentration. It will turn into a gas immediately after being discharged, so no liquid of any sort will potentially harm any computers, servers, artifacts, etc. Customers get the best of both worlds: the peace of mind of knowing their treasured possessions will be safe from a fire without sustaining any long-term damage.
