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.

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. |
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.

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.

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.
