Halon 1211 is also a potent greenhouse gas with a 100-year global warming potential 2,070 times that of carbon dioxide and an atmospheric lifetime of 16.0 years. [6] Recycling of Halon 1211 allows it to remain in use, [7] [8] although parts availability is limited to a few manufacturers and can be an issue. Halon 1211 is still widely used in ...
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 .
[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.
2003-160-EC- Commission Decision of 7 March 2003 amending Regulation (EC) No 2037-2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the use of halon 1301 and halon 1211 (notified under document number C(2003) 691)
The brand name "Halon" is frequently used interchangeably for BFCs. owever, not all Halons are technically BFCs (some contain chlorine also). BFCs attack the ozone layer even more aggressively than chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), [ 2 ] and are powerful greenhouse gases , although due to shorter atmospheric lifetimes not as powerful as equivalent ...
