Novec 1230 / FK-5-1-12 Clean Agent
Low-GWP (GWP=1) halon replacement for data center and critical facility suppression. 3M was the dominant global producer and exited in 2025. Fike (SF 1230), Kidde (Fluoro-K), and Chinese producers now fill the gap but supply has not caught up with demand, causing significant price increases and project delays.
