A Novec Replacement Agent is a clean fire-suppression agent adopted in place of 3M's discontinued Novec 1230 (FK-5-1-12), whose production is ending amid PFAS phase-outs. Data centers evaluate alternatives such as inert gases, other halocarbons, or water mist to maintain residue-free protection of energized equipment while meeting environmental regulations and low ozone and global-warming targets.
