TMC-1230 PERFLUORO(2-METHYL-3-PENTANONE) has an excellent environmental profile. It doesn’t have damage to the ozone layer, and the ODP is 0, the GWP is 1, the ALT is 0.014 year. Although the ODP of fluoroalkane halon substitute products is 0, its GWP is larger, which has a negative effect to global warming and climate change. PERFLUORO(2-METHYL-3-PENTANONE) can solve the two problems very well, that is the GWP and the ODP are very small, which is better than that of the halon fire extinguishing agent and other types of fluoroalkane halon alternatives (HFC-227ea, HFC-236fa) at this point.

Properties of TMC-1230 vs. 3M^TM Novec^TM 1230, 649, FK-5-1-12

Materials Compatibility

Experiments show that TMC-1230 PERFLUORO(2-METHYL-3-PENTANONE) with other materials, such as rubber, metal, has good compatibility, and little impact on a variety of materials used. Though PERFLUORO(2-METHYL-3- PENTANONE) with metal contact 10 days under 48 °C, no fade or damage trace is found.

Environmental Properties

Compare to the Environmental condition of Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone) and Halon and part of the other products.

Fire Extinguishing Concentration

PERFLUORO(2-METHYL-3-PENTANONE) has excellent fire performance, and its fire extinguishing concentration for class A is only 3.5%, its fire extinguishing concentration for class B is only 4.5% which is the closest to the halon, and it is far less than other fluoroalkane halon substitute. It can save A, B, C fires, non-conductive, immediate gasification after the injection, and no residue.

Health & Safety

The toxicity of PERFLUORO(2-METHYL-3-PENTANONE) is very low, and the extinguishing concentration of PERFLUORO(2-METHYL-3-PENTANONE) is much lower than its NOAEL, so the PERFLUORO(2-METHYL-3-PENTANONE)

has a high safety. The fire extinguishing agent has been registered by the USE.P.A.T.S.C.A.

Note: the NOAEL: invisible harm concentration

It’s shown in the table that the NOAEL PERFLUORO(2-METHYL-3-PENTANONE) approximately twice the extinguishing concentration, the safety margin is bigger; And slightly above its NOAEL of HFC-227ea fire extinguishing concentration, the safety margin is small; Halon 1301 NOAEL and extinguishing concentration is very close, no safety margin; HFC-36fa NOAEL is less than its extinguishing concentration, there is a danger to people. Therefore, PERFLUORO(2- METHYL-3-PENTANONE) extinguishing agent in extinguishing efficiency at the same time, more suitable for the place of someone.
