Typical Comments
On the value of the environmental benefits:
Even if (the system) was a little more expensive, it would be acceptable, just because of the environmental issues. From a PR standpoint, anything we can do to demonstrate that we are a green company is helpful.

3 Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid

Typical Comments
Will the 3M Brand help sell the system?
Yesyou want to know when you call for service, the company will be there; that theyre responsive; that theyll back the product.

And, is this company going to be around 10 years from now?

3 Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid

Typical Comments
On the properties of Novec 1230:
Very goodcylinder space is the same as FM-200, instead of over 7 times as much, as inert gas is. Design concentration about 5% and toxicity is 10%. Thats very good. Low design concentration is nice. You almost have a two times safety factor.

3 Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid

Typical Comments
How interested are you in learning more?
On a scale of 1 to 10, Id definitely say 10.

It sounds very compelling. Now show me the numbers.

Ill probably be contacting my research scientists tomorrow to look into this.

3 Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid

Typical Comments
On sustainability:
One of the issues isyou may have an agent thats legal today, but 10 years from now it might not be.

3 Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid

Typical Comments
On priorities when selecting a system:
Protecting assets and our employees. Those are paramount.
