Halon Fire Suppression Systems
Halon systems were introduced in the early sixties for use in aircraft fire
suppression and for protecting highly valuable materials and in places such as
museums, mainframe rooms and telecommunication switching centers where
a sprinkler system cannot be used. It is advantageous as a fire extinguishing
agent to protect these areas or buildings because it is electrically
non-conductive, dissipates rapidly without residue, is safe for limited human
exposure, and extremely efficient in extinguishing most types of fires.
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the U.S. banned the production and import of
virgin halons 1211, 1301, and 2402 beginning January 1, 1994 in compliance
with the Montreal Protocol On Substances That Deplete The Ozone Layer. The
halons that are already in existence are now the only sources of supply.
If you currently have a Halon suppression system, it is legal to continue to use
and we can inspect your system for you or recharge it using recycled Halon.
However, because halons deplete the ozone layer and because as the supply
of Halon diminishes, it becomes more and more expensive, you may want to
consider replacing your system with a clean agent fire suppression system.
