Halotron and CO2 extinguishers each have their advantages. Carbon dioxide is a trusted non-conductive clean agent and is most effective when used in electronic equipment fires. Halo tron is a clean, non-conductive gaseous agent that is an excellent replacement for Halon 1211 extinguishers because it has a lower environmental impact and leaves no residue.
Halotron interrupts the chemical chain reaction and cools the fuel to extinguish the fire. Carbon dioxide displaces oxygen and cools the fuel to extinguish the fire. Both Halo tron and CO2 are rated for Class B and Class C fires while Halotron extinguishers over 11 lbs are rated for Class A also. Now that you’re more familiar with how each agent works, let’s talk about the differences between the two Halotron Fire Extinguisher

Halotron Fire Extinguisher Uses
The extinguisher contains Halotron I as an extinguishing agent. Halotron I is a clean fire extinguishing agent mixed with tetrafluoromethane and argon as propellants and is used in both portable and handheld fire extinguishers. Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that stops the spread of fire by chemically disrupting combustion.
t is one of the most widely used extinguishing agents because it can efficiently and rapidly extinguish the fire and protect the assets without leaving any residue behind.
