Halon systems use halon gas to suppress fires, but its production was largely banned due to its ozone-depleting properties. Installing new systems is only permitted in exceptional cases, and many governments encourage decommissioning existing systems. Halon interferes with the oxidation reaction that feeds the fire, making it suitable for environments with expensive electronics. However, halon […]
Halon gas is used in fire extinguishing systems, with safer types replacing older versions. It quickly extinguishes fires without damaging objects and is popular in computer labs, museums, and libraries. Halon gas can produce toxic byproducts, and its manufacture was banned in 1994 due to environmental risks. Existing systems are still permitted to use halon, […]
Halon fire extinguishers are effective on many types of fires, especially those involving electronics. Halon gas is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and does not conduct electricity. However, its use is being phased out due to its harmful effects on the ozone layer. A halon fire extinguisher is a type of fire extinguisher that is extremely effective on […]
