Gielle - Model 3M Novec 1230 -Gaseous Fire Suppression System
The search for halon 1301 replacements has been on-going for over 10 years and each alternative brings with it a unique set of properties. We have brought to the market products that match the requirements of industry and our latest research allows us to introduce fire protection systems using 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid , a new development with some advantages over current technologies. 3M Novec 1230 fluid allows us to complement our existing range of agents as the phase out of halons accelerates in many countries around the world.
Novec 1230 is a fluorinated ketone that belongs to a family of chemicals called halocarbons. It has a global warming potential (GWP) of less than one, which means it has minimal impact on the climate. It also has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and a short atmospheric lifetime of about five days.
Novec 1230 fire suppression systems work by rapidly removing heat from the fire, causing it to extinguish in seconds. It does not harm the equipment or leave any residue behind, unlike water-based or powder-based fire suppression systems. It is electrically non-conductive and compatible with most materials.

- 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid contains neither bromine nor chlorine and has zero 0zone depleting potential.
- The atmospheric lifetime of 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid is estimated to be in the range of 3-5 days and with a global warming potential of 1, it is considered that the 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid has no measurable impact on climate change.
- These attributes ensure that 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid represents a truly sustainable technology. When fire breaks out in server rooms, data centres, museums and other sensitive environments, sometimes the solution can be as damaging as the fire.
- Gielle’s 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fire suppression system uses an inert carbon-based chemical that powerfully fights fire yet is safe for property, people, and to the environment. It looks like water but doesn’t cause the damage normally associated with water because it contains no moisture. The result is lower repair bills and less impact on business.
- 3M™ Novec™ 1230 has no harmful impact on the environment. It has an atmospheric lifetime of only five days while the closest chemical alternative has an atmospheric life time of 33–36 years.
