Yamato Protec Halogenated Fire Extinguishing System Halon 1301 Product Overview

Manufacturer: Yamato Protec Corporation
Model: Halogenated Fire Extinguishing System Halon 1301

Application

Halon 1301 is a highly volatile, evaporative liquid, a type of halogenated compound. When sprayed onto burning flammable material, it quickly vaporizes into a non-flammable vapor five times heavier than air. The synergistic effect of the nitrogen effect from blocking the combustion surface and the chemical negative catalytic effect (inhibitory effect) from interrupting the combustion chain reaction allows for extremely rapid extinguishing. However, because halons are a type of chlorofluorocarbon gas that depletes the ozone layer, their production has now been discontinued.

Features

It is a stable gas and does not cause chemical changes to oils, metals, electrical insulators, etc.
Because it has excellent fire-extinguishing capabilities, it can extinguish fires with a small amount of extinguishing agent.
Because it penetrates through any gap, it can completely extinguish fires even in three-dimensional objects, reaching the inside.
Equipment that showed no damage after the fire was extinguished and was unaffected by the heat can be used immediately.
Because it has good electrical insulation properties, it is also suitable for preventing electrical fires.
It is a chemically stable gas that does not deteriorate and can be stored almost indefinitely.
It can be used even in cold climates.
