The clean agent fire suspension system from Janus Fire Systems uses FM-200® or Novec™ 1230 as extinguishing agent.
FM‑200® is a colorless, non toxic gas, ideal for the protection of great value goods in zones that tend to be occupied by people, in places where the cleaning of other agents is problematic (other extinguishing agents characteristic residues), whenever there is a restricted place for the storage of a fire extinguishing agent, or whenever a non electric conductor agent is needed.
Novec 1230 is a transparent, colourless, and almost odorless liquid, ideal for the protection of great value goods in zones that tend to be occupied, in places where the cleaning of other agents is problematic (other extinguishing agents characteristic residues), whenever there is a restricted place for the storage of a fire extinguishing agent, or whenever a non electric conductor agent is needed.
The Novec 1230 (FK-5-1-12) liquid is composed by carbon, fluorine and oxygen. The primary extinguishing mechanism of the Novec 1230 liquid is the abortion of heat, with a secondary chemist input through the thermal decomposition of the Novec 1230 liquid by the flames. The Novec 1230 liquid does not leave any residues and it is safe to use in occupied areas.
The NOvec 1230 liquid is a highly fluorinated ketone, that does not contain either chlorine or bromine. Thus, the PAO (Potencial de Agotamiento del Ozono) of the Novec 1230 liquid is zero, so it does not affect the stratospheric ozone. The Novec 1230 liquid has a lifetime on the atmosphere of only 0.014 years.
