Which fire suppression system uses Halon?
Halon is typically used in clean agent fire suppression systems. These systems use Halon gas to extinguish fires by interrupting the chemical reaction or removing oxygen from the fire. However, the use of Halon is being phased out due to its harmful impact on the environment and is being replaced with more environmentally friendly alternatives.

Why is halon illegle?
Before we start, let's clear something up: The storage, use and sale of RECYCLED Halon is not illegal. In fact, it is encouraged, and many professional fire protection services companies specialize in Halon recycling and recharge. That said, the production of NEW Halon was outlawed in 1994 under the Clean Air Act. Halon is a potent CFC and is very damaging to the atmosphere. However, since their is no known method of disposing of existing Halon supplies (and since it is such a powerful fire suppressant), recycled Halon is still a popular means of controlling fires in many commercial applications. Fun fact: the FAA requires Halon use on all commercial airlines!

What is the new replacement of FM200?
There isn't really a "new" replacement for FM-200, as it is an effective gas for fire suppression and not harmful to the ozone like Halon, although it classed as a greenhouse gas, and is still very much in use. If there was to be a consideration for an exchange from FM-200 to a gas similar for replacement, it would probably be Novec 1230, as it has the benefits of FM-200, but considered to be a much "cleaner" gas.

What is the difference between dry chemical and hcfc 123 fire extinguisher?
The difference between a dry chemical and a hcfc 123 fire extinguisher is the material used to extinguish. Dy chemical fire extinguishers typically contain a fine white powder composed mainly of monoammonium phosphate. This powder extinguishes the fire but creates a lot of smoke and is highly corrosive. Hcfc fire extinguishers use Halon instead. Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that cuts off the combustion reaction while it is happening. Halon has very few risks and very little is needed to extinguish fires.
