I could be wrong on the date but I am sure I have read in some of our mags.
that a total ban on Halon products goes into effect in 2008. They haven't
made any in several years but there are some businesses that buy and
resell the Halon 1301 (fire protection) and 1211 (car a/c's). The FM 200
and AFFF systems are the replacements for Halon. The dry chemicals
(ansul for one) is corrosive and will raise havoc with electrical systems.
My business works primarily with the water based wet pipe automatic fire sprinkler systems so I stay away from that stuff.
