Current replacement for Halon is Haltron - much more expensive though.
Halon manufacture has been banned in most nations, although IIRC still
legal in the poor(er) nations for export $.

Halon can only be used in places where nothing else can be used such as some chemical production equipment with fixed closed systems and Crazy String. Go figure! If you find any Halon extinguishers for sale (NOS) they are legal to sell remaining stock, so grab them.
