- Lifeline FK (fluorinated ketone, previously Novec 1230) liquid>gas suppressant
- Portable fire extinguisher
- Mechanical trigger
- 2.0kg (4.4lb) bottle
Portable fire extinguisher ideal for your road car, trailer, or workshop.
FK gas suppresses fire by removing (absorbing) heat and blocking oxygen. It starts as a liquid but is atomized into a heavy gas as it exits the nozzle and the fog travels to all surfaces. The vapor alone is enough to suppress flame as it expands. This means you can do more with less - it does not require as much material so your bottle can be smaller (less weight). FK gas is non-conductive, not harmful to electronics or humans and is non-corrosive. Clean-up is super easy as the material evaporates and there is no residue left behind. Lifeline Zero FK and 3M Novec 1230 are the same chemical composition (3M discontinued Novec in 2024). To learn more about fire systems and suppressants, click here for our Tech Page.
Approved for FIA rally use.
Note: Lifeline does NOT recommend using a hand held extinguisher of any kind as your only and/or primary source of fire protection. A hand held extinguisher is a complementary piece to be installed in addition to a fully plumbed-in fire suppression system which offers larger coverage and better performance when you have just seconds to egress the vehicle.
"Novec” is a brand name owned by 3M and will be discontinued by 2025. The gas itself is still available from European suppliers but will not be marketed under the Novec brand name. It's the same molecular composition and fire suppression performance, just under different name(s).
