Halogenated extinguishing agents are hydrocarbons in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by atoms from the halogen series: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine ... The halogenated extinguishing agents are currently known simply as halons and the halon system for naming the halogenated hydrocarbons was devised by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  2, record 1, English, - halogen%20extinguisher

Vaporizing Liquids. Carbon tetrachloride... was one of the first(1908)... chemicals used in portable fire extinguishers. It was subsequently found, however, that its vapors were quite toxic... In the early 1950s... a number of federal agencies banned vaporizing liquid extinguishers because they were poisonous... Liquified Gases. Although vaporizing liquids proved unacceptable, less toxic halogenated hydrocarbon chemicals found use in the form of liquefied gases. Bromotrifluoromethane(Halon 1301) was first introduced in 1954... A low-pressure liquefied gas extinguisher using bromochlorodifluoromethane(Halon 1211) became available in 1973.  2, record 1, English, - halogen%20extinguisher

Fluoroiodocarbons as halon Replacements... The authors have identified a small set of chemicals with outstanding physical properties, extinguishment abilities comparable to halons, low toxicity, clean evaporation, and low environmental impact. These chemicals appear to be prime candidates to replace Halon 1211 as streaming agents and Halon 1301 as total flooding agents for firefighting. These chemicals are in the class of fluoroiodocarbons(FICs). A FIC is a molecule that contains fluorine, iodine, and carbon; in some cases FICs also contain hydrogen. FICs have been shown to be highly effective fire extinguishing agents(in some cases, more effective than existing halons). Both neat FICs and blends of FICs with hydrofluorocarbons(HFCs) show great promise as high-efficiency halon replacements.
