Hello all,
I'm in the market for a couple of extinguishers for the Vettes. Based on everything I've read, I decided to go with Halon (and carry a powder backup, just in case). The clerk at the fire & safety shop asked if I had considered FE36 instead. It is currently being produced as a Halon replacement, without the environmental side effects. He claimed that it is as effective as Halon. I left the shop confused and empty handed.
This evening, after spending an hour looking over FE36 Google hits (most of which lacked factual comparisons), I'm led to believe that FE36 is more similar to Halotron, which is not as effective as Halon.
Is anyone familiar with how Halon and FE36 compare?
Thanks!
