Les produits identifiés commercialement par le terme Halon, suivi d'un numéro de quatre chiffres, sont pour la plupart des alcanes halogénés. Il est préférable d'employer un générique, le terme alcane halogéné par exemple, pour remplacer la marque déposée Halon, à moins qu'il ne s'agisse précisément de cette marque déposée. 4, record 1, French, - haloalcane
