FACTS ABOUT HALON

The regulations today say that HALON should not be released into the atmosphere. HALON is no longer manufactured in many countries. It is important to Reclaim and Recycle for critical need where there is no replacement agent available or where no replacement can be used because of the volume and weight import.

Where systems are old and where the HALON has remained in the systems for five or more years, it is financially viable to Recycle your HALON for system inspection. By recycling and reclaiming your HALON, the moisture present, the corrosive particles that would have occurred due to the aging of the systems, and the other foreign particles are removed.

By reclamation, the fire suppression ability is increased and it is in equal standards of newly manufactured HALON. It is a financially sound investment to Recycle your HALON because this HALON can be restored to its newly manufactured condition after your cylinders are inspected, cleaned and system integrity restored.

And, prior to refilling of the Recycled HALON, your system and cylinders are inspected, examined and hydro tested to ensure a long term performance.

HOW DOES HALON GET CONTAMINATED?

In most cases Halons are usually contaminated with moisture, however they can also be contaminated with oils, and particulate material. Which usually happens when system cylinders are not maintained correctly.

REASONS TO HAVE YOUR HALON RECOVERED, RECYCLED AND RECLAIMED

Over time halon can become contaminated with moisture, residue, or particulate matter. Which can result in the Halon being less affective in suppression of fires. Therefore, recovery and reclaim allows us the opportunity to ensure that the Halon is meeting the appropriate requirements for fire suppression. It also allows us to inspect and hydrotest the system cylinder/storage vessel that the Halon is in.

IS HALON LEGAL?

Halons are legal for use in critical applications. But they have been banned from production since 1994 due to their high ozone depletion and global warming potential This is why it is critical that all halons are recovered and reclaimed and, NOT vented into the atmosphere.

IS HALON AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN?

Yes, Halons have very high ozone depletion and global warming potential. This is why their production was banned, and why the use is only permitted for critical applications where no alternatives are available.

WHAT ARE THE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS OF HALON FIRE EXTINGUISHER?

The production of Halons has been banned since the 1st of January 1994. It is still legal to buy and sell halons for critical applications, where there are not suitable alternatives. All Halons that are traded should have been produced before 1994. The import and export of Halons is heavily monitored by government authorities to ensure no illegally produced Halons are circulated in the market.

IS IT LEGAL TO MANUFACTURE, BUY OR SELL HALON 1211-1301?
