FK-5-1-12 is a next-generation clean agent fire suppression solution. It is a fluoroketone (chemical name: 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl) 3-pentanone) with a GWP of 1 and an atmospheric lifetime of approximately 5 days. It is stored as a liquid, discharged as a clean vapour, and effective against Class A, B, and C fires.
Yes. Novec 1230 is the trade name used by 3M for FK-5-1-12. Both refer to the same compound — the fluoroketone with chemical formula CF₃CF₂C(O)CF(CF₃)₂.
Both are clean agents with zero ODP, A1 safety classifications, and NFPA 2001/EPA SNAP compliance. The key difference is environmental impact: FK-5-1-12 has a GWP of 1 and an atmospheric lifetime of approximately 5 days, versus a GWP of 3350 and an atmospheric lifetime of 31–42 years for HFC-227ea. FK-5-1-12 is also a liquid at room temperature, while HFC-227ea is stored as a liquefied compressed gas. For new installations where environmental credentials are a priority, FK-5-1-12 is the next-generation choice.
Yes. FK-5-1-12 suppresses fire through cooling and chemical interruption of the combustion chain — not by displacing oxygen. It is safe for use in normally occupied spaces when deployed at standard design concentrations per NFPA 2001.
FK-5-1-12 is effective against Class A fires (solid combustibles including electrical and electronic equipment), Class B fires (flammable liquids and gases), and Class C fires (energised electrical equipment).

FK-5-1-12 is a next-generation clean agent fire suppression solution that combines rapid, high-performance fire protection with outstanding environmental credentials. A fluoroketone with the chemical name 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl) 3-pentanone, FK-5-1-12 carries a GWP of just 1 — compared with 3350 for HFC-227ea — and an atmospheric lifetime of approximately 5 days. This makes it effectively benign from a climate impact perspective, and the preferred choice for organisations where ESG commitments, sustainability reporting, or environmental regulations require the lowest-impact suppression solution.
FK-5-1-12 is stored and transported as a liquid (boiling point 49.2 °C at 1 atm) and discharged as a clean, low-odour, electrically non-conductive agent. It is colourless and residue-free, requiring no cleanup after discharge, with immediate system recovery. Systems achieve extinguishing concentrations in 10 seconds or less, suppressing Class A, B, and C fires through cooling and chemical interruption — without reducing oxygen and without risk to personnel in normally occupied spaces. FK-5-1-12 is compliant with NFPA 2001 and EPA SNAP, carries zero ozone depletion potential, and is the globally recognised next-generation alternative to both Halon 1301 and HFC-227ea (FM-200).

GWP 1 — Climate Responsible
GWP of just 1 versus 3350 for HFC-227ea. The lowest-impact clean agent available — future-proof against tightening HFC regulations.
5-Day Atmospheric Lifetime
Breaks down in approximately 5 days in the atmosphere. No long-term climate contribution — effectively negligible environmental footprint.
10-Second Knockdown
Achieves extinguishing concentration in 10 seconds or less, suppressing Class A, B, and C fires while minimising asset damage and business disruption.
Residue-Free Discharge
No cleanup required after discharge. Systems recover immediately — critical in data centres, server rooms, and high-value asset environments.
Safe for Occupied Spaces
Works through cooling and chemical interruption — not oxygen displacement. Safe for normally occupied spaces per NFPA 2001.
ESG & Regulatory Alignment
Supports ESG reporting, sustainability targets, and future-proofs facilities against Kigali Amendment HFC phasedown obligations.
Responsible Recovery and Disposal of FK-5-1-12
With a GWP of 1 and an atmospheric lifetime of approximately 5 days, FK-5-1-12 has a negligible long-term climate impact compared to other clean agents. Nevertheless, accidental or unnecessary discharge should be avoided. When decommissioning fire suppression systems, follow applicable national regulations and equipment manufacturer guidelines for recovery and disposal. Refer to the product SDS for handling, storage, and emergency response procedures.
Data Processing Centres and Banking Data Centres
FK-5-1-12’s combination of 10-second knockdown, zero residue, and GWP 1 makes it the preferred next-generation clean agent for Tier 1 through Tier 4 data centres. Banking and financial data centres, where both operational continuity and ESG reporting are critical, are increasingly specifying FK-5-1-12 over HFC-227ea for new installations.
Telecommunication Switch Centres
Used to protect telecoms switching rooms and network operation centres where 24/7 uptime is non-negotiable. FK-5-1-12’s immediate system recovery following discharge and its electrical non-conductivity make it the clean agent of choice for critical telecoms infrastructure.
Process Control Rooms and Oil Refinery Control Stations
Specified for process control rooms and control stations in oil refineries and petrochemical plants, where the intersection of flammable gas risk (Class B) and energised instrumentation (Class C) demands a reliable, broad-spectrum clean agent. FK-5-1-12’s effectiveness across fire classes A, B, and C, combined with its low environmental profile, suits the sustainability requirements of modern energy sector facilities.
Marine Applications
Used in marine engine rooms and other enclosed spaces aboard ships and offshore platforms. FK-5-1-12 is suitable for the marine environment, where both flammable liquid fire risk and the need for residue-free suppression in confined machinery spaces are paramount. Its low GWP also aligns with IMO environmental requirements for the maritime sector.
Aerospace, Aviation, and Military
Specified for aerospace and aviation facilities, military installations, and drone control centres where rapid, residue-free suppression is critical and the environmental footprint of suppression systems is subject to regulatory scrutiny. FK-5-1-12’s atmospheric lifetime of approximately 5 days makes it highly suitable for military and government facilities with stringent environmental standards.
Archives, Museums, and Art Collections
The clean agent of choice for archives, museums, and art collections housing irreplaceable cultural assets. FK-5-1-12’s residue-free discharge, low odour, and complete absence of water or powder damage protect artefacts, documents, and artworks while meeting the environmental standards increasingly required by cultural institutions and their funders.
