Fire Suppression
Starting in the 1960s, Halon 1301 was the principal agent used in clean agent extinguishing systems. However, Halon was found to have a high ozone depletion potential, so manufacture of Halon was banned in 1994. There is no ban on the use of Halon, however, and many Halon systems are still in service.

Out in open water, you're on your own. For marine craft both large and small, a fire protection system that offers superior performance is essential for keeping your vessel afloat, and passengers alive.
A fast, hot class B fire can have dire consequences for your pleasure craft. Even docked at the marina, your boat needs a clean, reliable fire suppression system.
Since the engine rooms of larger boats are sometimes occupied, your system must be safe for humans. Should CO2 discharge while a person is in one of these rooms, the result can be fatal.
Traditional fire extinguishing agents such as water and dry chemicals can cause damage to high-value equipment and contribute to downtime. The DuPont family of fire extinguishants provides an exceptional alternative to Halon. They are safe for people, electronically nonconductive, noncorrosive and free of residue. Since DuPont is a global provider, vessels can refill a discharged system at any port of call, anywhere in the world.
