Typical Comments
On the value of the environmental benefits:
“Even if (the system) was a little more expensive, it would be
acceptable, just because of the environmental issues.”
“From a PR standpoint, anything we can do to demonstrate that
we are a ‘green’ company
is helpful.”
3 Novec™ 1230
Fire Protection Fluid
Typical Comments
Will the 3M Brand help sell the system?
“Yes…you want to know when you call for service, the
company will be there; that they’re responsive; that they’ll
back the product.”
“And, is this company going to be around 10 years from
now?”
3 Novec™ 1230
Fire Protection Fluid
Typical Comments
On the properties of Novec 1230:
“Very good…cylinder space is the same as FM-200, instead of
over 7 times as much, as inert gas is. Design concentration
about 5% and toxicity is 10%.
That’s very good.”
“Low design concentration is nice. You almost have a two times
safety factor.”
3 Novec™ 1230
Fire Protection Fluid
Typical Comments
How interested are you in learning more?
“On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d definitely say 10.”
“It sounds very compelling. Now show me the numbers.”
“I’ll probably be contacting my research scientists tomorrow to
look into this.”
3 Novec™ 1230
Fire Protection Fluid
Typical Comments
On sustainability:
“One of the issues is…you may have an agent that’s legal today,
but 10 years from now it might not be.”
3 Novec™ 1230
Fire Protection Fluid
Typical Comments
On priorities when selecting a system:
“Protecting assets and our employees.
Those are paramount.”

Gas/Aqueous-Phase
Distribution in the Atmosphere
A(g)  A(aq)
Henry’s Constant (HA) = [A(aq)] / pA
• For compounds with HA < 400 M/atm, < 1%
dissolve into aqueous phase
• A significant fraction of a compound ( > 10%)
partitions into the aqueous phase only if
HA > 5000 M/atm
• HA of Novec 1230 fluid ~ 8x10-6 M/atm
• As a result, rainout is not a significant
removal mechanism for Novec 1230 fluid
