fire extinguisher...halguard? or.....
Shopping for a FE for the car. Probably a 2.5lb. I've looked at "Halguard" and "Maxout". Maxout described as some kind of dry chemical.
Anyone know the difference or suggestions? Thanks

AFAIK, the halogen products were being banned/phased out quite a few years ago because of environmental effects. Don't understand the justification vs. burning plastics.
Glad there are non-corrosive chemical alternatives available. |

Thanks.
I typed nevermind cause I did a search on another forum. Didn't really find anything here. Halon was banned a few years ago, but a variation called Halotron or Halogaurd is being sold and is enviro friendly. I found some HORROR stories about "dry chemical" extinguishers. It might put the fire out temporarily, but it doesn't smother the fire like Halotron.

Halon's not banned. It's still the aviation standard. Halotron isn't corrosive to electrical components, but it puts out a fire just like Halon.

PM sent.
FYI, our host sells 2.5lb chrome Halon units here, although as of a few weeks ago they didn't have the red ones in stock. Tim |
