May 19, 2011 – Utilizing 3M Novec Fire Protection Fluid, SINORIX 1230 from Siemens Industry is a green solution based on sustainable technology that has the highest safety margin of any chemical clean agent and ensures quick and reliable extinguishing in mission-critical areas without negatively impacting the environment. With a Global Warming Potential of 1 (the lowest for any chemical agent) and zero ozone depletion, SINORIX 1230 allows system engineers to replace existing suppression agents and achieve U.S. Green Building Council LEED-EB certification credits. Safe and effective, Sinorix 1230 is a non-toxic, non-flammable and non-conductive solution that requires no cleanup after discharge.
Designed to interrupt combustion process at its earliest stages, the agent suppresses fire before there is enough heat to damage adjacent equipment or ignite other potentially combustible materials. At room temperature SINORIX remains a liquid, but behaves like a gas when the suppression system is activated. From smoke detector to nozzle, Siemens is the only suppression manufacturer to produce 100 percent of the detection control and suppression equipment. Siemens also offers the widest range of storage options in the industry with agent storage capacity from 16 to 1,200 pounds in a single cylinder; which allows for the efficient deployment of cylinders in any combination to meet any project size.
