Keyvex™ FK 5-1-12
Keyvex™ FK 5-1-12 is a fluorinated ketone fluid developed for clean agent fire suppression systems. It provides a next-generation alternative to traditional halon and HFC-based fire suppression agents and is designed as a direct replacement for 3M™ Novec™ 1230. The fluid extinguishes fires rapidly by removing heat without damaging sensitive electronics or leaving residue.
Applications:
Fire Suppression
- Data centers, server rooms and telecommunications equipment rooms
- Electrical control rooms, switchgear and power distribution systems
- Battery energy storage systems and EV battery protection
- Sensitive electronic and high-value control equipment
- Marine control rooms and critical enclosed spaces
- Museums, archives and other high-value asset protection areas
- High fire suppression efficiency: minimum extinguishing concentration of 3.5% for Class A fire and 4.5% for Class B fire.
- Excellent electrical insulation: passes 110 kV electrical insulation performance test
- Effective cooling performance
- Evaporates rapidly without leaving residue or damaging sensitive equipment
