Fire Suppression by Halon 2402, Volume 1

Abstract

This Technical Report is divided into two volumes. Volume I consists of the front matter and text while Volume II consists of Appendices A - J. Fire testing shows that, in outdoor applications, the fire extinguishment capability of Halon 2402 is superior to that of Halon 1211 and 1301. The increase in effectiveness is due to better agent application properties (Halon 2402 is ejected as a liquid), better fuel-inerting capacity (lower vapor pressure), and improved flame suppression (possibly resulting from the presence of two bromine atoms). An environmental assessment shows no environmentally unacceptable properties: however, toxicity during agent use could be problematical.
