A couple days before Christmas 2022, 3M announced that it plans to exit manufacturing of 3M™Novec™1230 Fire Protection Fluid among a total of approximately 60 chemicals by the end of 2025. Novec 1230 is the branded name for FK-5-1-12 as listed in NFPA 2001, Standard for Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems. Fike Corporation has FK-5-1-12 UL Listings and FM approval to provide a seamless transition from the 3M™Novec™1230 Fire Protection Fluid. Please reach out to Intelli-tech if you would like to discuss in further detail the clean agent alternatives to NOVEC 1230.

Introducing Fike Small Space Suppression System

Small obscured fires within electrical cabinets may go undetected until significant damage has occurred. Fike’s Small Space Suppression System ensures the detection and suppression of these potentially devastating fires at their source. The Fike Small Space Suppression System uses a flexible heat-reactive tube which is strategically routed through small applications. The tube is pressurized with nitrogen to activate the connected cylinder of 3M™ Novec™ Fire Protection Fluid to quickly and reliably suppress the fire. Check out the video for more details.

During an emergency within a building, tunnel, or other type of structure, first responders must be able to communicate with each other to provide important information while on the scene. That is when an ERRCS is critical.
