Researching clean-agent fire extinguishers, and I am considering this: https://www.rennline.com/safecraft-m...r-sku-saf-pb3/ . My Google skills have not been able to determine what the difference is between Flouro FS (what this unit uses) and Halotron. Safecraft's website states that Flouro FS is a clean agent. Will this be of near or equivalent effectiveness as Halotron?

I heard back from Safecraft. For anyone interested Flouro FS is chemically the same as Novec 1230. Novec 1230 is a clean agent successor for Halon (known to be environmentally harmful), more or less an alternative to Halotron.

Novec 1230 is on the endangered species list too. 3M has announced it will end production before the end of 2025, "based on careful consideration and a thorough evaluation of the evolving external landscape, including multiple factors such as accelerating regulatory trends focused on reducing or eliminating the presence of PFAS in the environment and changing stakeholder expectations".
