About

Product information

TMC-1230 is a direct replacement for 3M Novec® 1230 & Novec® 649 and has an excellent environmental profile. It doesn’t damage 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.

 

APPLICATIONS

TMC-1230 is a chemically identical replacement for Novec™ 649 with specific properties suitable for heat transfer applications where non-flammability and environmental concerns are important.

  • Electronics Cooling (Single or Dual Phase) Organic Rankine Cycle
  • Computer/Data Center Cooling Diesel Engines
  • Power Electronics such as IGBTs or inverters Generators
  • Geothermal Applications Solar Applications
  • Transformers and other equipment (SF6 replacement)

 

Fire Suppression

Chemical Identity

TMC-1230 is described as a chemically identical replacement for NovecTM 1230. This suggests that it has a similar chemical composition, which is effective at suppressing fires.

Clean Agent Fire Protection

Like Novec™ 1230, TMC-1230 is touted as a clean agent fire protection system. Clean agents are designed to extinguish fires without leaving behind harmful residues, making them suitable for protecting sensitive environments like data centers, museums, or places with valuable electronic equipment and documents.

Rapid Fire Suppression

TMC-1230 is claimed to extinguish fires in seconds, which is significantly faster than traditional water-based fire suppression systems. Rapid fire suppression can help minimize damage and prevent the spread of fires more effectively.

Waterless Solution

TMC-1230 is categorized as a waterless fire suppression solution. This means it doesn’t rely on water to extinguish fires, avoiding potential water damage to sensitive equipment or materials.

Residue-Free

One of the advantages of clean agent fire suppression systems is that they leave no residue after extinguishing a fire. This is crucial for protecting irreplaceable items like paper documents and electronics, as there is no cleanup or damage caused by residues.

  • Stored as a liquid and discharged as a gas
  • Appropriate for Class A, B and C fire hazards
  • Provides the highest margin of safety for human occupancy of any clean agent solution under the NFPA 2001 standard

MATERIALS COMPATABILITY

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.


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.
