any experience. re: 3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid system?

[Jen Hughes]

I was wondering if anyone has has experience using this, or knows of an instance where it was used. I am wondering what the impact of the fluorinated ketones would be on archival or artifact collections.

 

The contract engineers for the renovation of my musuem/archive building recommended this in lieu of a water-based sprinkler system. It is a successor of the Halon systems – when it is distributed to suppress a fire, it becomes a gas.

 

Thank you!
