extinguishers utilize a special dry chemical powder that is effective on class A,B, or C

documents or food. The downside of Carbon Dioxide fire extinguishers is that they are very
heavy and they are not effective on class A fires.

areas, offices, boats, aircraft and vehicles. Halotron I is a "Clean Agent" which
leaves no residue. Halotron I's downside is its cost.
