HCFC Phase-Out Issue
Halotron I is based on HCFC-123, which has a low ozone depletion potential
of 0.014 (CFC-11 = 1.0). It is currently regulated as a Class II substance in the U.S. under the Montreal
Protocol and the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAA) of 1990. It is therefore subject to certain consumption limits
that regulate the use of the primary raw material for Halotron I, HCFC-123, in the period beyond 2015. Total
“consumption” of Class II substances is capped with reductions that began in 2004. Although HCFC-123 is a Class II
substance, it has an extraordinarily low ODP, much lower than other Class II substances, such as HCFC-22. Recycled HCFC-123
material is expected to be available to service existing and produce new fire extinguishers beyond 2015.
