[edit]What's an easier way to say effective gaseous fire suppression agent? RJFJR 20:55, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)
- "It is effective at suppressing fires (oh, and by the way, if you haven't noticed its boiling point, it's a gas)" Physchim62 (talk) 14:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Tanks
[edit]My elderly NFPA reference mentions aircraft in WWII, but not tanks. It also says that this particular compound was looked at by DuPont. The 18th ed. says it was introduced in 1973 for fire protection. I thought it was also useful to explain why the compound was chosen since the article jumped immediately to the ban. --Wtshymanski 15:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
under "Use as a fire extinguishing agent"
[edit]The section mentions that the gas is "effective on all common types of fires, A, B, and C", however if you read the "fire class" page it mentions that there are different types of C class, depending on location. US and EU names two different things "class C fire". It should be mentioned that the Halotron gas is fitting for electrical fires - the US class C.
