The Viking VSH1230 Fire Extinguishing System uses 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid, which is a next generation alternative for Halon replacement. VSH1230 is used to protect the contents of an area that contains valuable equipment or materials, including, but not limited to Museums, Banks, Clean Rooms, Data Centers, and Libraries. Novec™ 1230 leaves no residue behind, has zero ozone depletion, and has the lowest atmospheric lifetime for halocarbon alternatives. Novec 1230 extinguishes the fire by heat absorption. VSH1230 results in less down time, less clean up, limited business interruption, and it is environmentally friendly.
