Even a small fire in critical facilities such as data processing centers, airport control towers, clean rooms, laboratories and computer-controlled manufacturing operations can result in catastrophic loss by interrupting vital operations and damaging high-value equipment. In these situations, it's important that fires be knocked down quickly - before they have a chance to spread - and that sensitive electronics and other equipment not be damaged in the process of putting out the fire.

3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a highly-efficient extinguishing agent that:

• Is electrically non-conductive
• Is non-corrosive
• Rapidly vaporizes to gas during discharge
• Leaves no residue
