What is hcfc 123 chemical fire extinguisher?
HCFC 123 is the raw base material use to produce a halogeanated, safe/effective and environment friendly fire extinguishing chemical agent called "halotron I". It was introduce in early 1990's to replace the "banned" fire extinguishing agents like, Halon 1211 and BCF's, which were found to have a severe ozone depleting potentials. In contrast, hcfc 123 base fire extinguishing agents has a near zero ozone depletion potentials.
What is the difference between dry chemical and hcfc 123 fire extinguisher?
The difference between a dry chemical and a hcfc 123 fire extinguisher is the material used to extinguish. Dy chemical fire extinguishers typically contain a fine white powder composed mainly of monoammonium phosphate. This powder extinguishes the fire but creates a lot of smoke and is highly corrosive. Hcfc fire extinguishers use Halon instead. Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that cuts off the combustion reaction while it is happening. Halon has very few risks and very little is needed to extinguish fires.

In order to prevent depletion, ban the use of CFC's. You can use HCFC's.
