Hi Jim

=20

In a previous life in the mid to late 70s 8-) I used to be involved in =
the design of fire extinguishers. Halon or BCF (Bromo di Chloro =
Floromethane from memory) was used extensively for extinguishers and =
also fixed systems in computer rooms where CO2 was used. These were the =
days when even a small computers were the size of a phone box. They were =
great as they left no residual after use, whereas a powder type leaves a =
lot of the powder which is corrosive.

=20

However, it was band ages ago when they found that it eats ozone and =
depletes the ozone layer! Which was a good move especially for us living =
in the southern hemisphere which is most effected.

So in short, it=E2=80=99s unlikely that you will find any Halon fire =
extinguisher on the market now.

Hello,

=20

I have a Halon extinguisher bottle that is absolutely ancient and I =
don't trust it

In looking to find the new Halon replacement material bottles, I find =
myself at a loss and confused.

Summit and JEGS have extinguishers, but I can't find a new Halon-like =
material from the items they carry.

I figure I'd like a 1 kilo or two pound size.

Anybody gone down this path recently ? Can you tell me a source and what =
you came up with?

Maybe someone other that Summit or JEGS ?=20

=20

Help please !
