About

Product information

TMC-1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a direct replacement for 3M Novec® 1230.  TMC-1230 vaporizes quickly when released, is non-corrosive and not electrically conductive, so that sensitive electronic systems such as data centers, server rooms, telecommunications or other equipment are not damaged.  It does not leave any damaging residues, so the systems do not have to be cleaned and remain up and running.

Because TMC-1230 is stored as a liquid and discharged as a gas, it can be transported by air to help enable quick refills. Each shipment includes a TMC Certificate of Analysis verifying the product has been tested to meet both TMC internal and NFPA 2001 (2022 edition, section A.5.1.2.3) standards for quality.

  • Waterless fire extinguishing clean agent
  • Leaves no residue
  • Electrically non-conductive, helping protect energized electronics
  • Global Warming Potential (GWP) = <1
  • Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) = 0

 

APPLICATIONS

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

 

FIRE SUPPRESSION 

Clean Agent Fire Protection

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 can 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.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING CONCENTRATION

TMC-1230 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.
