Since Halon was ruled out as a fire suppression agent, a replacement was being sought. Due to the effectiveness of the gas, users preferred to have it rather than water which causes damages of its own. As Halon was found to be harmful to the ozone, it was ruled out as an agent to be sold commercially. Research proved that the Novec 1230 could be used as a replacement and it wouldn’t harm the ozone as much as Halon did. It proved that the commercial use of the newly found fire suppression agent could be used and sold commercially without disturbing nature’s cycle.

Due to the continuous hustle and bustle of people in the commercial buildings, there is a massive chance of accidents. The excessive use of electricity and also due to rash usage of appliances, fire can break out any time. Accidents do not happen after informing, they always happen when the person least expects it. If any incident of such type takes place in a building, the owner and the management gets the blame. It is their responsibility to make sure they have provided adequate protection to their visitors and users. Having the right installations such as the Novec 1230 gas suppression system and having enough emergency exits can save a lot of trouble and lives in case the flames start getting out of control.

Here are some characteristics that clearly mention that the Novec 1230 can be used inside buildings to make them safe and secure.

Since it is filled inside the single skinned cylinders when sold commercially, you cannot judge the amount inside without using a measuring device. For measuring the gas inside the single skinned containers the ultrasonic liquid level indicator is used and one can easily measure how much is inside.
