Bromotrifluoromethane, commonly referred to by the code numbers Halon 1301, R13B1, Halon 13B1 or BTM, is an organic halide with the chemical formula C Br F 3. It is used for gaseous fire suppression as a far less toxic alternative to bromochloromethane .
Halon may refer to: Haloalkane, or halogenoalkane, a group of chemical compounds consisting of alkanes with linked halogens (in particular, ...
Bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF), also referred to by the code numbers Halon 1211 and Freon 12B1, is a haloalkane with the chemical formula C F 2 Cl Br. It is used for fire suppression, especially for expensive equipment or items that could be damaged by the residue from other types of extinguishers. [ 1 ]
Tribromofluoromethane [1] or Halon 1103 or R 11B3 is a fully halogenated mixed halomethane or, more exactly, a bromofluorocarbon (BFC). It is a colorless to yellow liquid. It is a colorless to yellow liquid.
[citation needed]) Halon 1211 also has low toxicity, although it is more toxic than Halon 1301, and thus considered unsuitable for flooding systems. However, Halon 1301 fire suppression is not completely non-toxic; very high temperature flame, or contact with red-hot metal, can cause decomposition of Halon 1301 to toxic byproducts.
1,2-Dibromotetrafluoroethane (C 2 Br 2 F 4) is a haloalkane.It is also known under codenames R-114B2 and Halon 2402.It is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 47.2 °C. R-114B2 is occasionally used in fire suppression systems.
Bromochloromethane or methylene bromochloride and Halon 1011 is a mixed halomethane. It is a heavy low-viscosity liquid with refractive index 1.4808. Halon 1011 was invented for use in fire extinguishers in Germany during the mid-1940s, in an attempt to create a less toxic, more effective alternative to carbon tetrachloride .
