About this file
This is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Extinguishant, a multi-purpose liquid chemical fire suppression agent manufactured by AMEREX Corporation. The product is available in pressurized and non-pressurized forms under product code 1230 and model codes 775/776, intended for streaming and flooding fire suppression applications.
The SDS (Revision G, dated May 1, 2024) indicates the active ingredient is 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone (Novec 1230) at >99.9% concentration with less than 1% nitrogen as an expellant in pressurized versions. The product is classified as an aerosol with a "Warning" signal word and is hazardous to aquatic environments with long-lasting effects. Key hazards include potential oxygen displacement causing rapid suffocation and hydrogen fluoride release during thermal decomposition. The OSHA PEL is 150 ppm (1,940 mg/m³) as an 8-hour time-weighted average. Storage requirements include protection from sunlight and temperatures exceeding 50°C, with incompatibility noted for strong bases, amines, and alcohols. The product is non-flammable, non-explosive, and relatively non-toxic with acute oral and dermal LD50 values exceeding 2,000 mg/kg. Disposal must comply with federal, state, and local regulations through licensed industrial waste facilities or permitted incineration facilities capable of handling halogenated materials. When shipped in pressurized fire extinguishers with inert expellant gas, the product is classified as a hazardous material (UN 1044) under Department of Transportation regulations.

Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Flammable Properties: Not flammable Flash Point: None Suitable Extinguishing Media: Non-combustible. Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding conditions.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Main decomposition product is hydrogen fluoride in fire situations. By products are irritating and potentially toxic. Pressurized container can explode in heat of fire.
Explosion Data:
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not sensitive
Unusual fire/explosion hazards: Pressurized container can explode in heat of fire Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, NIOSH approved or equivalent and full protective gear.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Use eye/face protection.
Personal Protective Equipment: Minimum � If a large release occurs in a closed environment, evacuate immediately. Until oxygen concentrations are known, personnel entering the environment should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (positive pressure supplied air respirator).
If ventilation is obviously adequate, wear an air-purifying respirator. If thermal decomposition products are present, wear a full-face air purifying respirator.
Emergency Procedures: NA Methods for Containment: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Contain with sorbent material and booms.
Methods for Clean Up: Contain and collect using sorbent material. Transfer to properly labeled containers for disposal.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering waterways, drains, and sewer systems.
Other: If product is contaminated, use PPE and containment appropriate to the nature of the most toxic chemical/material in the mixture.
