Product Description
Product Overview
Our UL Listed FK-5-1-12 is a next-generation clean agent fire extinguishing agent, also known as Novec 1230 or perfluorohexanone. It is a colorless, transparent, and electrically insulating liquid at room temperature. UL Recognized as a component for fire extinguishers and extinguishing system installations (GARZ2). FK-5-1-12 is designed to replace Halon 1301, HFC-227ea, and other traditional agents, offering superior environmental performance and fire suppression efficiency. It extinguishes fires primarily through heat absorption, does not displace oxygen, and leaves no residue, making it completely safe for occupied spaces and sensitive electronic equipment. Listed in ISO 14520, NFPA 2001, and EPA SNAP. Available in 25kg, 50kg, 250kg, and 500kg iron drum packaging with factory-direct pricing.
