Halon has been banned for several years now: although it's excellent at putting out fires, it was also found that it's even better at destroying the ozone layer.
There are still a few halon extinguishers around, they are still allowed in aviation and the military as there's simply nothing better. So if you see one, grab it: but don't expect to be able to get it re-charged at all. |

You can still buy Halon but be prepared to pay $$$$$. If you have a Halon ext. treat it like Gold as it's a wanted commodity because it can no longer be made but old Halon can be sold over and over again. I have a Halotron ext. in my 914 for Elec fires and a purple K extinguisher for fuel fires. |
