Quality That Defines the Standard

In clean-agent fire suppression, quality is not optional when it’s the standard. When you choose SF 1230™ Fire Protection Fluid, you’re selecting a product backed by decades of laboratory experience, industry testing, and a commitment to precision that originated with the team who built the Novec™ portfolio.

How Standard Fluids Guarantees Quality

Every batch of SF 1230 fluid is analyzed in the USA under an ISO 9001-certified laboratory framework. We test for:

  • Purity ≥ 99.5%
  • Acidity and moisture content
  • Non-volatile residues
  • Thermal and chemical stability

Each batch receives a Certificate of Analysis, and retained samples are stored indefinitely for traceability.

Why QA Matters for End Users

System performance depends on chemical integrity. Substandard or unverified fluids can cause:

  • Reduced fire suppression efficiency
  • Material incompatibilities
  • Equipment degradation or failure

By contrast, SF 1230 fluid maintains consistent, validated properties that align with NFPA 2001 and ISO 14520, so your system performs when it matters most.

The Legacy of Laboratory Expertise

Standard Fluids’ engineering and chemistry teams include former 3M researchers and product developers with over 100 years of combined experience in fluoroketone and hydrofluoroether technology. That continuity of expertise ensures SF 1230 fluid upholds the same performance promise that global industries trusted for decades.

Setting a Quality Benchmark for the Future

When each batch is tested, certified, and archived, quality becomes more than a procedure—it becomes a promise. That’s why Standard Fluids is committed to maintaining the highest QA standards in the fire suppression industry.

What standards govern SF 1230 quality testing?

SF 1230 is tested according to NFPA 2001 and ISO 14520, measuring purity, acidity, water content, non-volatile residue, and stability.

How does Standard Fluids ensure product consistency?

Each batch of SF 1230 is certified with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis and long-term retain samples stored indefinitely for traceability.
