Halon or BCF (Bromo di Chloro Floromethane from memory) was used extensively for extinguishers and also fixed systems in computer rooms where CO2 was used. These were the days when even a small computers were the size of a phone box. They were great as they left no residual after use, whereas a powder type leaves a lot of the powder which is corrosive.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN'>However, it was band ages ago when they found that it eats ozone and depletes the ozone layer!
