Novec™ fire extinguishing agent provides maximum fire protection for people as well as for your electrical equipment, systems and valuable assets.

Developed for the future

Novec™ is classified as non-hazardous and not only meets today’s regulations but also those of the foreseeable future.

Intended for hazard areas

The Novec™ fire extinguishing agent is suitable for use in special hazard areas where maintaining continuous operation of high-value equipment is critical both during and after the outbreak and suppression of a fire.

Fire extinguishing

Once the AMFE mini fire extinguisher is automatically activated, the space is rapidly flooded with the Novec™. It has an excellent penetration capacity and rapidly reaches all critical areas (e.g. in switching cabinets). It takes approximately just 10 seconds to reach the required concentration level of the extinguishing agent. At this point, the full extinguishing effect is already achieved.

How does Novec™ work

Unlike inert gases, the extinguishing effect of the Novec™ is not based on oxygen displacement, but on the principle of homogenous inhibition (which means there is no hazard to human life from a shortage of oxygen).

The Novec™ fire extinguishing medium withdraws the heat from the fire, thus interrupting the chain reaction of the fire. In just a few seconds, the fire within the device is extinguished.

The advantages of Novec™ fire extinguishing medium

Novec™ stands out with a very short fire extinguishing time and high effectiveness. This fire extinguishing agent poses no hazard to human health and it does not harm the environment and ozone layer. Novec™ causes no damage to equipment and materials, it is non-corrosive and leaves no residue to clean up.
