Las Vegas-based chemical and rocket fuel company American Pacific Corp. said the Federal Aviation Administration has approved its Halotron I clean agent portable fire extinguisher to replace severe ozone-depleting halon 1211 in civilian commercial aircraft.
The Halotron I extinguisher, manufactured by Amerex Corp., provides an environmentally acceptable substitution for halon 1211 that is low in ozone-depletion effect as well as global-warming effects, American Pacific said.
