Fire Extinguishing Agent Properties

FK-5-1-12 agent has the chemical formula (C_6F_12O). It is a colorless and transparent liquid with a boiling point of 49.2°C and a freezing point of -108°C, making it easy to store and transport. It has an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0, a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of only 1, and an atmospheric lifetime of merely 5 days. Its decomposition products are non-toxic and harmless, making it extremely environmentally friendly. Additionally, perfluorohexanone is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and has an insulation strength of up to 110kV, causing no harm to humans or electronic equipment, and can be used in live environments. ## Fire Extinguishing Principle FK-5-1-12（Novec1230） fire extinguishing systems achieves efficient fire extinguishing through the dual effects of physical cooling and chemical inhibition. In its vaporization process, liquid FK-5-1-12 （Novec1230） agent absorbs a large amount of heat, rapidly lowering the temperature of the fire site. Meanwhile, the fluorocarbon free radicals produced by its decomposition can interrupt the combustion chain reaction and inhibit flame spread. Moreover, after vaporization, it forms an inert gas layer to reduce oxygen concentration, achieving oxygen-deprivation fire extinguishing. ## System Composition Taking FK-5-1-12（Novec1230） fire extinguishing systems as an example, it consists of fire detection, control, fire extinguishing devices, power supply, and operation panel units, enabling functions such as automatic fire detection and automatic fire extinguishing. ## Key Features -High Extinguishing Efficiency: FK-5-1-12（Novec1230） requires only a 4%-6% extinguishing concentration (by volume) and can extinguish Class A/B/C/E fires within 10 seconds, with a faster extinguishing speed than traditional extinguishing devices such as dry powder and carbon dioxide.

No Damage to Equipment: It leaves no residues after extinguishing, causing no corrosion or damage to electronic equipment. The equipment requires no complex cleaning and maintenance and can quickly resume operation.
Easy Installation: With a compact and flexible cassette design, it is small in size and light in weight, allowing installation in narrow spaces such as server cabinets, with a simple and quick installation process.
Application Scope
It is suitable for power distribution facilities in the electric power industry, such as high-voltage switchgear, substations, and cable tunnels. It can also be used in energy storage power stations to suppress lithium battery thermal runaway fires. Additionally, it is widely applied in precision equipment and data centers such as server rooms and communication base stations, as well as industrial and transportation fields including petrochemical equipment, ship engine rooms, and subway tunnels.
Limitations FK-5-1-12（Novec1230)
begins to decompose at 550°C and cannot be used in occasions where combustibles generate high temperatures. Otherwise, its high-temperature pyrolysis will produce corrosive and toxic decomposition products, which not only fail to extinguish the fire but also cause harm to the environment and human health.
