3M Novec 1230 Clean Agent Fluid

Novec 1230 fluid, (also known as "Dry Water" and "Waterless Water"), is an environmentally friendly Halon replacement for gaseous fire suppression manufactured by 3M. It is generally used in situations where water from a fire sprinkler would damage expensive equipment or where water-based fire protection is impractical, such as museums, banks, clean rooms and hospitals . 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fluid does not deplete ozone (ODP 0) and has an atmospheric lifetime of 5 days and a GWP of 1.It is also known as "SEVO 1230" by SEVO Systems, Inc. Chemically, it is a fluorinated ketone with the systematic name 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone and the structural formula CF3CF2C(=O)CF(CF3)2, a fully fluorinated analog of ethyl isopropyl ketone.

This is stuff is extremely powerful as a fire extinguisher; it is not conductive at all (you can fully submerge running computers in it), it has very low toxicity (you can drink it and you won't have any serious problems - you may feel a little weird though), it evaporates harmlessly (is broken down by UV light) and does not damage paper at all - hence it's usually called "dry water" or "waterless water". Amazing stuff!
