CONT

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. [Paper from the International CFC and Halon Alternatives Conference, Washington, DC, Oct. 20-22, 1993]

OBS

fluoroiodocarbon: form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).

OBS

FIC: This might be an in-house or a non-recognized abbreviation; not to be used alone, to avoid any risk of confusion.
