This works significantly faster than most water-based systems discharge.<\/li>\n<li>\nAs a waterless fire suppression solution, the\u00a0Novec\u00a01230 fluid leaves no residue behind, helping to protect your important documents and electronics.<\/li>\n<li>\nNovec\u00a01230 offers the highest margin of safety for human occupancy of any clean agent solution.<\/li>\n<li>\nThe\u00a0Novec\u00a01230 is not governed by any regulatory body, including the Montreal Protocol. Also, the use of\u00a0Novec\u00a01230 fluids is not required to comply with Halon 1302 phaseouts or HFC phasedowns.<\/li>\n<li>\nAppropriate for Class A, B and C fire hazards.<\/li>\n<li>\nEnvironmental manufacturers warranties are available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Novec 1230 fluid evaporates much faster than water.
