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.

38
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?

39
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.
40
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.
41
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.

42
Typical Comments

• On priorities when selecting a system
• Protecting assets and our employees. Those are
  paramount.
