Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone) is a fluorinated ketone with the structural formula CF 3 CF 2 C(=O)CF(CF 3) 2, a fully-fluorinated analog of ethyl isopropyl ketone.It is used as an electronics coolant liquid and fire protection fluid sold commercially by 3M under brand names such as Novec 1230, Novec 649, and FK-5-1-12.
For instance, there is no such thing as a Novec 1230 System. There are systems that use Novec 1230 fluid. There are also systems that use the numerals 1230 to describe the system. However, the fluid can only be referred to as Novec 1230, when referenced the commercial name or by its chemical name or Ashrae description used in NFPA 2001 as FK-5 ...
The United States Environmental Protection Agency allows concentration of 9% volume in occupied spaces without mandated egress time, or up to 10.5% for a limited time. Most fire suppression systems are designed to provide concentration of 6.25-9%. The HFC-227ea fire suppression agent was the first non-ozone-depleting replacement for Halon 1301.
Systems working on a total flooding principle apply an extinguishing agent to a room in order to achieve a concentration of the agent (volume percent of the agent in air) adequate to extinguish the fire. These types of systems may be operated automatically by detection and related controls or manually by the operation of a system actuator.

The compound has been introduced into the market by 3M under the denomination Novec 4710 [4] and commercialized in high voltage equipment by General Electric starting from 2016. [5] It is seen as a credible alternative to SF 6 by the European Commission as offering the capability to replace SF 6 while keeping the same benefits of dimensional ...
Clean agents extinguish fire by displacing oxygen (CO 2 or inert gases), removing heat from the combustion zone (Halotron I, FE-36, Novec 1230) or inhibiting the chemical chain reaction (Halons, Halotron BrX). They are referred to as clean agents because they do not leave any residue after discharge, which is ideal for protecting sensitive ...
The highest mast in the Netherlands is (partially) owned by Novec: the Gerbrandy Tower, which is also known as the largest christmas tree in the world as around the Christmas period christmas lights are placed in the Guy-wires of this tower [1] [5] On 15 July 2011, fires broke out in the Novec masts Gerbrandy Tower and the tower of Zendstation ...
