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.

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?

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.

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.

On sustainability:

One of the issues isyou may have an agent thats legal today,

but 10 years from now it might not be.

On priorities when selecting a system:
